Looks like this will work. :D I have extra material- if anyone is interested in one, I'll put em up in classifieds.($75 shipped USA) I'm adding the micro adjuster. They do have 2" updraft 1/8th bits available for the extended reach.
Problem is , I have a first generation rotozip, do they all have the same base?- I am using a 3 point mounting system, one is a screw in the back of the base???

laughing6-hehe .. so some imposter named Carol is ripping me off now ... yeah it happens, but it really does start with a K gaah

looks like it will work just fine ....


BTW .. the idea behind my making this in the first place belongs to the late Richard Schneider - I modded a similar design of his that used a blade to accept a lam trimmer, an used UHMW plastic instead of machined aluminum/steel.

That's the weakness of the rotozip, poor base made of plastic with inaccurate depth control. That said, I have used a rotozip on my first couple of guitars for routing binding channels with good results. Even with a homebuilt modified base that I built, it was too time consuming setting the depth accurately... I now use a Bosch Colt for bindings. But if time was spent to build a base with accurate depth control, the rotozip has ample power and a decent collet.

Good point Chuck .. I was talking only about the base when I said it should work, but I have no idea how good/bad a rotozip is .. never realy looked at one.

get a PC7310 .... works for me .. all 7 of em !!!

Oddly enough, there was a "Carol" selling guitars in Montreal this year too! :o
