Align the template, which is idiot proof… I know, ‘cause I can do it…



Oh, I have been asked many times about how to cut the F holes since the narrow areas are too narrow for the normal type template tracing bits….What I do is use a 1/4 inch carbide spiral bit, and allow the shank to act ad the bearing.

Here you see it against a section of ¾ inch MDF



I now drill an access hole for the bit, in close quarters like this I don’t want to be lowering a spinning bit into the wood…



Now…I simply do it to it.. I do move slowly to insure a smooth cut, sanding the edges in that tight space is “special”.
