Jack,
Do you have closeup shots of your truss rod hole jigs?
(see my poplar build post)

I use the Wagner Safety Planner mounted in the drill press to get the final thickness.
I've built a jig patterned after the one in the Hiscock book for drilling the acces hole to the truss rod channel. Here are a couple of pictures of it.
The long 3/8 bit goes through a guide block made of hard maple and drilled at a 3 degree angle per the Strat book. Depth of 3/8 hole is 1.2 in. beyond the nut line.
