Lists,
I thought since I started this mess and you folks were gracious
enough to reply I would update you on my progress. I have persevered
unto good results. I found that the trouble I was having was at the very
end of the cut where the soundboard meets the rim. This is on the
keyboard side of the bridges at the longest point of grain. The last
inch or two the crown suddenly gets pretty sharp and the foot of the
tool comes up off the sound board and rocks. This is primarily why I
could not control the cut and wound up with a horrible mess my first
shot. As I said i did persevere and found a way to make it work in that
area. Other areas I tried went smoothly and the tool performed as
expected. I suppose I panicked a bit at first. Kind of unnerving when it
looks like your well on your way to ruining a customers sound board.
Thanks to all of you for your encouragement.
Greg
