daveq Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 I use the stereo output jack that stewmac sells. So far, I haven't had much luck in drilling the hole perfectly clean. Each time, the drill bit catches and tears a bit out on the side of the hole on the outside edge. I'm thinking about trying a fostner bit but I'm not sure if it will tend to walk on me or not. To give you an idea of where I mount it (typically), I use a similar style to the Ibanez RG bodies (not the JEM style). Do you think the fostner bit would be a better way to go? If so, how do you set it up? Do you use a drill press? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Rosenberger Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 I use Paddle(Spade) Bits. If you use a Forstner you must use a drill press or it will go crazy and walk on you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 I use a lot of different setups but always tap or drill a smaller starter hole so the bigger bit has something to rest in before I drill out the main. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 dido..... i tap with a screw or smaller hole, then mount on my drill press and line everything up for use with my forsner bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page_Master Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 this is not really relevent to the topic, just an idea i would like to share with everyone, however i have copied it. i think deep dish jack plates on the side of guitars look really neat and comfortable. that is what i want to do for my project. i stole this idea from ESP Guitars, but they steal lots of ideas from guitar companies, so as far as i am concerned, it is ok.
