Say, I remember reading somewhere a while back, (possibly on that "other" forum that I try and stay out of now
) about a reasonable source for ordering custom router/shaper cutters...anyone know of a place like that?
Thanks,
Larry

http://www.routerbits.com carries a full selection of Whiteside bits at pretty reasonable (I think) prices, and does custom (Whiteside) bits as well. No experience with that, though.. |

I am curious John... why don't you use it? It looks like you could rough in a neck really fast with that. |

I think Tracy Leveque can fix you right up. Why don't you try him? |

Brock, I think he's saying he showed it in his Neck DVD, but didn't use it in the making of said DVD. |

right Mattia. I use it on every neck but I did the back of the neck on the DVD with a Belt Sander because I figured 99.9999% of people would not have a bit like I did and showing the process would not help anyone, so I showed a way most do have access too. I did want to mention it in the video because it may be a option for some to have one made (they are pricey at $150-$250) but man oh man has this thing been a enormous time saver. I just took a profile of my necks and sent it off and the bit came back and I've been using it for years now.. have not even have to have it sharpened yet... |

Ok, thanks John (and others). I thought that seemed like a good idea, I was just curious when you said you didn't use it. |

Charlie Hoffman also uses a custom bit like this for neck shaping. He has a good building description on his website. Neck shaping |
