    Hey Frankie, fair enough when the decimals are important but who can set a router depth within 0.1mm ? I'd like to see that. For routing depths of a guitar the most important one is the neck pocket depth. Pickup depths not really important as long as the pup fits in the cavity

    It becomes habit, Wokka I have to remember that its not always necessary. FWIW the best I've got on my router is +/- 0.25mm! :P
