Spurlock Soundboard Repair Bit

[Lance Lafargue]

I think the lack of a point is to insure fresh new wood all the way to bottom of the board.  My repairs always left me a gap about 2mm.  Otherwise the joint would be a bit weaker.

  Subject: Spurlock Soundboard Repair Bit


  I'm looking for a reality check regarding the Spurlock Soundboard Repair bit (the 20-degree angle bit for cutting into the soundboard panel for a repair shim).

  My bit (which I haven't used for a couple years) has a flat tip that is exactly two millimeters wide. I thought it came something closer to a point rather than such a wide flat tip. Does anyone else out there have one of these bits who would be willing to measure the tip width.

  Basically, I want a bit that has more of a point - I don't know if I've broken the tip off mine, or that was how it was new.

  Thanks.
