I had a go at making a humbucker template, f@*ked it right up and gave up in the end, it's soooo much easier to have someone precision laser cut them for you but if you wanted to do your own the easiest way would be out of marine ply I reckon, and like Wokka mentioned, make them nice and big so you're able to clamp them easily to the body without the clamps getting in the way of the router.
Sorry to bring this up again, but before I buy the bits I just wanted to run the list by you guys. A 3.2 mm roundover bit, a 1/2" diameter inch long for the cavities routs and a 3/4" diameter 1 1/4" length for body edge routs. Cheers.
Thanks again db. Ended up with the 2 you said were the go, a half inch diamater by 3/8" length and a 3/4" x 1".
No worries mate. At this stage I'm only doing Tele bodies anyway so the pup routes will be under the wood hiders. Will the half inch still be ok? When I start doing routes for humbuckers ill for sure get for 1/4" as well as some new bits. The ones I got are from mcjing tools, carbide tipped but a bit cheaper then carbitec. I'll probably stuff them up not knowing what I'm doing but when I start doing proper bodies I'll get some smashing bits.
