Great Tool

Posted by Paul Doug on August 27, 2013 at 4:34pm

I just wanted to draw attention to a great tool I purchased last week.  I bought it from Stewart McDonald at www.stewmac.com.  It's a Precision Router Base to be used with a Dremel or Foredom type rotary tool.  I've been using it to carve a sound hole cover and am really impressed with it.  I hope to add accessories to it and maybe someday a Foredom rotary tool.  The only thing I could possibly say against it is it would be nicer if the bass was Stainless Steel.  It is aluminum and if I don't keep it waxed it leaves gray marking on the wood.  This is what it looks like:

I've been working on this with it:

It is great for working on bridges, nuts and clean fret slots, etc.

      Thanks for the comments, stringybark and terry, I have a confession to make.  On the hole cover pictured, I decided that before I sanded any more, I had better route the rabbit around the outside so I would know how much I could sand the outer rim.  I routed on the wrong side!  Holding a sign that says STUPID!  Anyway it was a big goof, and so I cut a new one and started over.  This time routed the rabbit early and got it in the correct side.  Now sand, sand, sand,,,,
