[/QUOTE]

It's called a micro fence, I actually found them at a woodworking show, since I do such odd rosettes just having something one size would not work and the stew-mac jig for cutting circles is not very precise.

I have a write up here about it:

http://www.patriotguitars.com/rosettejig.htm

I modified it by taking the stew-mac jig and removing it's base and making my own, it allows me to do all kinds of cool things with rosettes...

Cheers

Cool... I found their site. http://www.microfence.com

Thanks. This is exactly what I have been looking for. I have one of the cochran bases and it is great, but not handy for all applications. This will round out my circle cutting needs.

How bout a live connection to the administrator...sort of like these on-line chat with our help dept.? I guess once we learn all the cool stuff it won't be that much to deal with,

It's the best shop tool I've bought in a long long time, Richard the owner was the one who showed it to me. I like having the dremel on there because if you run smaller bits you don't get tearout and alot of times I will drop in a rosette and then route one more channel between it and the top (something Kathy Wingert taught me) and I can't do that with a PC 310 (although they are awesome routers)..

Just with all my tools were that good

Cheers

I'm already sold. Actually, the quotes kind of recreate the side threads that we always seem to develop.

[QUOTE=Don W] Agreed ! This software has so much potential, and is a luxury package compared to the no-frills software we've been using. This is starting to look like the OLF will be "The" Premier guitarmaker's discussion group online. Nice job Brock and crew...awesome.

[QUOTE=bpoling]
Personally I think the nay sayers are going to be a bit overwhelmed by this and we need to ease them in slowly.

I hope everyone will bare with everyone else while we all learn how to use the program. Maybe a chat on how to use the new program would be good. Or perhaps Brock could do a seminar. I haven't looked at the help screen yet but I suppose if it's good that's probably all we need.
