Maverick Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 I got this at a moving sale for $500.00 in like new condition (I know, it was a steal). I have never used one before and I'm looking for some info on what this thing can actually do for guitar building. Any info is much appreciated.

jer7440 Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Nice buy! $500 was a steal. That thing lists for about $1600 on amazon. As far as uses for guitar building, you could use it for anything drillpress related. Drilling holes for tuning machines, using forstner bits for roughing out cavities, drum sanding, etc. You could also use the milling functions for pickup cavities and such. If you picked up a Saf-t-planer from Stew Mac, you could also do quite a bit of wood surfaceing such as truing up neck blanks and what not. There are probably 1000 other things you could do as well.

Maverick Posted March 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Thanks for the reply. I have been looking at those Stew Mac Saf-t-planer's. I wander if those can be mounted from underneath a tabletop. I dont know how weel they cut upside down. Anyone try this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
