Decapping bridges with a router

[Richard Brekne]

I suppose you would, tho you perhaps are just as likely to find some 
variances in height of the root itself as well.   I would think tho that 
if the most significant variations in bridge height are due to 
differences of cap thickness it was because of shaving the cap after the 
bridge assembly was glued to the panel. Routing off to fairly closely 
match the joint line just puts you back in that original state then when 
you glue on a new uniform thickness cap yes ? A Marking Gauge can easily 
be used to mark a given distance up from the panel as it can down from 
the bridge surface....so whatever situation you are looking at can be 
dealt with.

        I find that variations in bridge height almost always come about
        as function
        of differences in thickness of the cap, not the root.

    Grin... now thats what I call a dream !  How long ago did you take that
    Del, and out of curiosity.... what do you do about handling the point
    raised earlier about dealing with the variant heights of the original
    bridge ?
