Official Luthiers Forum!

I decided to make a new thread after realizing hiw far off topic i was getting on my tiling thread. Ill be asking all my questions here. Ill starr with a repeat question.

Can you tell me what are the most useful bits for guitar work? I see these variety packs for $27. I don't have high confidence in those.

Ive bwen thinking about electric necks which are too long for my 6050. I was wondering about cutting those diagonally. Would that be a problem?

I would check out PreciseBits as they have a section dedicated to luthiery - https://www.precisebits.com/application ... rtools.htm

I use the bits from them for most things but I also use these for fret slots which have worked well - https://www.ebay.com/itm/384573895741?m ... media=COPY

I think you’re still trying to decide on a machine to buy. Something to keep in mind - cheaper machines with poor quality spindles, collets, etc… means more runout in the system. Tiny bits and runout don’t mix.

No, the 6050 is on it's way. I'll check out those bits, thank you.

My CNC arrives today. I had to make little shelf unit to put some thing in. My next shelf like this will have adjustable shelf pins. Ill use the cnc for that. Plus the safety lip on the front will be milled into the shelf, saving an extra step.
