Soundboard installation, next topic : trimming at the belly rail

[Jude Reveley/Absolute Piano]

Hi Stephane,

I like to rout the excess off  using my laminate trimmer and a bottom 
bearing bit. The end grain won't have any problems with tear out but use a 
spiral bit anyway. The belly rail usually slopes inward  so be careful how 
you set the depth of the bit (ie the location of the bearing).
