Thanks Joe - That is an interesting prospect. I would love to build another one and use the old rails, if I were to upgrade to the longer table. I'll probably wait until I have had this one a little bit longer though. Cheers Peter.

Nice - switched my axis tonight. No problem worked a treat. I'm not sure why they wouldn't want it that way in the first place. I guess it's all perspective. Once I switched it I could see why it was the other way! LOL Oh well it's all better now. Thanks for the tips everyone.

There are holes in the shoe that sticks out but looks like there is a metal plate, I guess it is metal for the magnetic attachment....

Thanks for the tip John, that is great. I would like to try my hand at cutting some MOP for my headstock, and possibly some fretboard inlays anyway. I'll probably be purchasing one of the kits with all the different sized collets, and a few bits to try out. Thanks again.

Regards Peter.

Thanks will do!

Is there anyone here using the precise bits and collets to use really fine bits? I just bought a Shark Pro Plus HD with a Bosch 1617. It will be mainly for signs, and lithos maybe, thanks Tony, but I would like to try and machine some guitar parts. I was hoping to try machining rosewood and maple fr...
