Post subject:  neck block taper

Hi

If my plan calls for neck block depth of 95mm do I make it slightly over to all for a taper on the face that will attach to the back ?

How do you calculate the taper or do I just make it all about 3mm over and take it off with the radius dish ?

That is my approach, though I don't use the dish. After gluing he block to the sides, I taper it with hand planes and a sanding block.

Thanks =, I am going to try this approach to gate the correct taper and radius

There is no mention of what the starting dimensions are, I'll add the 3mm
