goth_fiend Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 alright guys heres a few pics of the progress of the anihilator as of last year basically, i still need to do routing and bevels, what tools should i be using, should i go old school and use a bastard file and sandpaper or should i use a router? im worried about using a router on the wings though, i think you guys can understand why just by looking at it. http://www.villagephotos.com/pubgallery.asp?id_=685829 btw, the pic of me with the hammer and chisle is when i made the prototype out of birch, since i got about 25 brd ft of the stuff for free.

Primal Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 Any Lowes or Home Depot should carry one. Sears as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 sorry that was a 3AM typo. Chamfer bits are correct. 45 degree angle, with a 1/4 inch shank (assuming your router is 1/4 inch). DO NOT buy router bits at home depot. Seach my posts for why. They are a death trap...greased undersized shanks for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehardcrew Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 I don't think you can say don't buy any bits from Home Depot. They sell various brands. You must be referring to the single ones in the cabinet. I bought a 24-piece set (made by Hickory/Olsen I think) 1/2" shanks and they are great, it was $99 but if you buy like 3 bits separately before you know it you spend $100, and I'm glad I have variety at hand so I don't have to run to the store every day. Although if you really don't think you'll be routing anything but guitar bodies, then you might be better off getting individual bits. Good luck.

daveq Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 Are you talking about the yellow Viper ? maybe router bits? I have several of them but I haven't had any problems with them. Is this a recall kind of issue or is this just something you have pesonally had problems with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goth_fiend Posted March 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 now i have another question, do they make bits with a bigger then 45 degree angle, because after i thought of it the bevels on that guitar are nothing close to 45.
