Precison Micro Adjust Router Base

The base is primarily designed for cutting rosettes. It has a fine adjust feature (in this instance, the Telecaster knob or, on those for sale a radio knob), that is, you can set the exact distance within .001” merely by turning the fine adjust knob clockwise or counterclockwise and thereby moving the locating pin a set distance. The fine adjust knob moves the locating pin .050” for each full revolution of the knob. Therefore, if you need to enlarge a rosette cavity by .012” merely turn the knob a quarter turn. For example, suppose you measured a rosette with your dial calipers and its’ width is .210”. A 3/16” bit is .185”. Make the first cut. Now you know that you need to widen the slot by .025”. Turn the fine adjust knob ½ a revolution and the rosette will fit perfectly. If you need a little more space adjust the knob accordingly.

Truss Rod Adjuster Gauge

This gauge is designed to precisely measure the amount of truss rod relief in the instrument you are either working on or setting up. Its' use is simplicity itself. Merely zero the gauge on a know flat surface (I use my table saw). Place the gauge on the guitar somewhere behind the first fret on the fretboard. The gauge will immediately tell you the amount of relief you have in the neck, convex or concave. It is really useful when adjusting the truss rod as you can see the movement in the neck by watching the gauge as you turn the adjusment screw. You simply cannot set up a guitar more accurately than using this gauge!
