Way to go Robbie. And yet another brilliant idea. I’m putting the binding on now which is my first acoustic guitar. I got some mahogany from Hibdon Hardwood and OM plans from Michael Payne for my second guitar. Can’t wait to start it.

if you do it a lot,instead of stopping to remove chips you could also aim a piece of airline at the drill bit with a valve between it. You could even combine it with a vacuum system to keep a clean workspace. (and lungs)

why not firstly bandsaw up the the template edge leaving, say a 2.5mm overhang then the chips will have no ‘trough’ to get trapped in to

You can certainly try that but my experience has been that it likes to tear out and chip if the bit is close to the edge.

Jorge,
Você está falando do video sobre contratensores né? Bem que achei estranha essa palavra mas o pessoal me falou que estava certa. Pois é.
um abraço e Happy building!

I buy drill bit blanks and then grind the angle on the end of the bit. You can use a regular drill bit and grind the solid edge to the correct angle.
