Test cuts .625 humbucker pocket Cobain Mustang

Ran some test cuts for humbucker mount using some cheap pine. Used Will’s default feeds and speeds. Programmed to cut .625, actually cut to .629, off by only 4 thousandth. There is enough wiggle room. Should be good to go, I rounded off corners to slighty about .25 radius in Illustrator so it would cut fine. Will also bust out the downcut bit for a cleaner top. Special occassion. Workholding shouldn’t be too bad. I can clamp the bottom corners and use some wood to clamp by neck.

These results looks way cleaner than chiseling by hand. Also need to add some wood to top corner of humbucker for screw to go into. Humbucker only secured with 2 screws, it call tilt up from back.

My new Dust boot and dust collection works flawlessly.
