iskim86 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I've done some router work before, like making cavities (not on guitars), but the bottom of the cavities are not flat. they are jagged and bumpy. how would I make it completely flat, say like the bottom of the neck bottom? Ummm...do you still require an answer? Fill in the blanks! Unless you've already solved it, in which case spill the beans. don't know, gotta try it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 It sounds very disturbing, having a ragged jagged bottom of a rout....makes me concerned that safety may be an issue somewhere along the line here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Old, beat-to-hell router bits over plywood would definitely give you some chafing on the bottom... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 (edited) We're talking guitars, not your toilet seat here Drak! Your beat to hell bits have no place in this conversation. Edited March 11, 2010 by Prostheta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodenspoke Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 How about a picture of the router and bit and all the pieces that may have fallen off... If you cannot rout a flat bottom something is seriously wrong. If it is your router then stop using it..You dont want pieces flying about. Somehow I envision some 1930's router that has never seen repair parts.. If you turn the router shaft by hand and it feels rough its a bad sign. If the router bit has chips along the edges its a bad sign. If its none of the above its even worse... since that would make the operator the problem.. provide some solid info we can work with..
