kenneth_b Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Greetings: Silly question. I have a full size template for the body I'm building, made out of 1/4 hardboard. However, I need to make an undersize version since I'm going to route it using a brass template guide in the base of my router. I went to a lot of trouble to get a body shape I like, how do I draw a new template exactly 1/8" smaller? I tried using a compass, but it isn't very acurate. Thanks for any tips.

Scott Rosenberger Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Use a 1/2" bit with a 3/8" bearing to cut the body shape. dont use it for the pickups or neck pocket or they'll be too small Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
