Pabs, Stewmac has a bevel router bit designed for pickguards./<\\/p>[]<\\/p>/Quote from pablopepper on May 7, 2014, 12:59
Yeah, I can do that no worries. Acrylic mirror is 3mm thick, a bit thicker than your average pickguard. Also, I haven't figured a neat way of beveling the edge, so that would be up to you guys.
Run it at a low speed in the dremel with your profile template and you will get the perfect bevel everytime
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
You know what, I have a router bit just like that and I can cut a 6mm mdf template in no time. Solved, thanks DB!

Dremel also have a router bit - 715 that has a 45 degree angle on it and a pilot end. Downside is that the only one available through the big green barn is the Trio bit that has a slightly larger shank than standard Dremels can handle. That said, a hunt on eBay will bring up some for normal Dremels in the US delivered for ~$15 Aus.
