Title: Adjusting tone channel length
Post by: Aaron@weatheredbranch on March 14, 2019, 09:47:02 PM
How do you experienced guys adjust tone channel length after cutting the sound board profile?

I’ve tried using my drill bit in my hand drill but because it’s open the bit just wants to dance around and wallow the hole out, not cut it any deeper. And yes I know I need to be using a drill press but I don’t have one yet, that’s definitely my next tool purchase, once I an afford it....

Aaron, for prototypes, I've adjusted the length of a tonechannel with a carbide cutter on a Dremel tool. Personally, I'd never do it on a call for sale.

You can also adjust the length with a small gouge that matches the tone channel diameter. It needs to be sharp!
