So, I went back to double check on the router bushings and bits I need to route using these templates…and the info was gone….good thing I made a note of it.
Neck Mortise:
2″ Long 1/2″ Diameter, Straight Cutter, 3/4″ Bushing
Pickup Legs:
1 1/4” Long, 3/8” Diameter, Straight Cutter, 5/8” Bushing
Pickup Bodies & Wire Channel:
1 1/2″ Long, 3/8” Diameter, Straight Cutter, 5/8” Bushing
Control Cavity & Switch Cavity:
1 1/2″ Long, 1/2″ Diameter, Straight Cutter, 5/8” Bushing
Back Plates:
3/8” Long, 1/2″ Diameter, Top Bearing Pattern Bit
After a bit of research, I think I have a final list made of what I need to order from toolstoday.com as they have everything and the prices are fair…YMMV!
Based purely on multiple recommendations (as I have never purchased router bits) Amana Tool router bits are the ones to get….
To summarize:
