Just wanted to share this. A guy over on the UU forum is offering a Rosette cutter guide with 1/8" and 3/16" registration pin holes. all for $8 plus shipping a steal. Wide should try to convince him to do a guitar size guide as well.

Scroll down towards the bottom of the posts.

1/10th " steps are no use to me, sorry.
I'll stick with my wells-carol.

The name catgut is confusing. There are two explanations for the mix up.

Catgut is an abbreviation of the word cattle gut. Gut strings are made from sheep or goat intestines, in the past even from horse, mule or donkey intestines.

Otherwise it could be from the word kitgut or kitstring. Kit meant fiddle, not kitten.

Collin for some reason I was having a blond moment. Your absolutely correct on that comment. It also isn't adjustable.

But in his case it seems to work fine. If you want to remain consistent from rosette to rosette and build them the same for each one and it fits within your paradigm then it's probably a very useful tool.

Biggest problem I see is that you cannot move the bit incrementally to open up a channel. As long as an exact bit size works at the available radii than that would be ok.
