strummer2k Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 I know I am posting alot of questions, but he**, I keep getting good answers Anyway, what do you use to cut a straight slot for a 3-way or 5-way pup switch. I am gonna mount it directly to the wood, so I want it to look right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 I've used everything from a dremel with a cutting bit to drilling two holes for each end of the slot and scoring the part between them over and over with a fresh sharp blade. Last time I used a table top scroll saw after making the holes but I wouldn't recomend it unless you have the proper blades cause they can travel away from the lines.

strummer2k Posted June 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Well, don't have a dremel yet. So, you just scored it with a utility knife over and over until got through(after drilling the end holes)? I will give that a shot, thanks again.

VanKirk Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 That sounds like a good idea, thx. I'll use a straight edge to run the knife against until the line is deep enough to not wander. I can just see myself....scrape, scrape, scrape GOUGE across the top ahhh $#@%!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
