So first… drill the bolt holes…. Here’s where some err… use a small square to be certain the table is at 90 Degrees to the drill bit… otherwise. . crooked holes and misaligned screws..
after that or before… whatever you feel like…. Do the tremolo spring rout…. I do it in 2 steps initially..
once it’s ¾ inch deep, remove the template.. were done with it…
Now lets finish the spring rout… I place a block in the slot…. And use a top bearing pattern tracing bit…. Rout ½ of the remaining wood from the cavity..
then lower the bit to leave 1/8th inch remaining and rout the remainder…
more to come….
