'As long as there's, you know, sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll.'
After searching...and searching...and then a bit more searching I finally came to the conclusion that if I wanted to cut a 1.5 mm binding channel I'd have to bite the bullet and visit Stew Mac (sob sob). I now own a rabbeting bit and bearing (including shipping) that is literally worth more than my router:P
Having said that I plan to do a lot more guitar building in the future so I think it was a worthwhile investment, especially if you want the job done properly.
well done Barge, so is the distance between the bearing and the cutting surfaces 1.5mm ? looks like that bit may take out more than 1.5mm. Better give it a test on scrap wood first

Nah sorry my bad, I should have mentioned, that's just a pic off the Stew Mac site, I don't think there's a bearing on there at all just lookin' at it.
ah ok all good Barge, just didn't want to see you take out a 15mm thick channel haha

For future reference, you should be able to get router bits altered at your local tool sharpener. Here's an example of my trusty custom rebate bit.
Wasn't particularly expensive as far as I remember.

Cool, I like how you've got a nice big base on the bottom there, I'm picking you jimmied that up yourself Craig? It'd be perfect for cutting rebates and still keep plenty of router on the work surface./<\\/p>[]<\\/p>/Quote from pablopepper on September 4, 2014, 12:41

I fashion a wide range of tools, jigs and accessories for myself. 'Because I can' is the best excuse ever for not spending money.
