killemall8 Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 i never understood how you can cut like this with a pin router. how can you just pust the wood into it and it will cut without kicking back or something? and how is this guy cutting the body shape by hand on that? it doesnt make sense to me. when ive tried to cut like that, it barley toutches and it kicks back without even cutting a little bit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiJNwIPALs8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhoads56 Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 a pin router.... has a pin.... The pin acts like the bearing on a flush cutting bit, but it isnt attached the the bit, its attached the the router... if you know what i mean. A template runs against the pin, to cut the work to the same size as the template (or, you might have an oversized pin, and an under sized template, or visaversa).

Phil Mailloux Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 What I'm more curious about is how many horse power does a router need to have to cut a body with that much speed and ease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mammoth guitars Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 ... when ive tried to cut like that, it barley toutches and it kicks back without even cutting a little bit. Use a sprial down cut bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattharris75 Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 on this episode of "American Luthier" "Where's Perry"? i know your from Australia......i really like american chopper. American Chopper is cool, but I like 'Build or Bust' better. that would make for a great show on guitar building. Bring an amateur into your shop and give them a bit of guidance, and like 5 days to build a guitar, and see if they could pull it off. If they finish it and it's playable they keep it, otherwise Perry keeps it. At the end of build or bust they have to do a burn out with the bike to keep it, you could have them plug into a huge stack and do a face melting solo to keep it.

killemall8 Posted September 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 ok i get it now. i diddnt think about it being on the bottom. but i cant watch those vids, i makes me cringe seeing someone use a chisel for work like that.

Jon Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 but i cant watch those vids, i makes me cringe seeing someone use a chisel for work like that.

komodo Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Whadda bout ol' senior spokeshave? Any fans?? Totally, I love the spokeshave. I have a larger flat one and a smaller curved bottom. I also tend to grab the microplane a lot. Those were cool vids, but man o man they are just riddled with unsafe shop practices and I am certainly not a prude. Holding the fretboard with his bare hands across the jointer almost made me puke. . . I watched someone loose three fingers doing that exact same thing after the thin piece took a dive into the cutter head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyb Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 (edited) What kind of sanding attachment did he have on that drill (the large almost bowl shaped one) ? That could come in real handy! Edited September 18, 2007 by fyb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGman Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Flap disk by your description, works nicely in an angle grinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 it wasn't a flap disk, looks like a home made variation. A the one there has give to it so it won't dig in like a flap disk will, so I think that it is much forgiving than flap is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGman Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 I will have to watch that part now, so basically a thick and soft sanding pad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
