This is awesome. I'm used to my drum sander to thickness wood. It works fine, but takes looong. Maybe I'll give this a try. Great job!

acredita q em uma das visitas à musictools eu comprei a minha safe t planner mas ainda não tive a oportunidade de usar?

[mikegager]

from their catalog the 6 tooth planer appears to be $168 (520, 00 R) and the 3 tooth is $85 (265, 00 R) plus whatever shipping is

Do you have a link to the site where these can be purchased ? It looks to be a better tool than the original .

I think that StuMac sells the 3 bit version of that cutter on their website, but I could be tool looks like it would be really useful for things like dimensioning a guitar headstock.

How much is the 6 cutter in U.S. dollars? I was thinking of buying the 3 cutter from stewmac. Just depends on how much extra with shipping to the states from Brazil

[JorgeGarcia-ffmu]

Miguel makes a three cutter version. Do the extra heads make that big a difference?

[paulocpcc]

blimey. whats that gash on your left little finger?!? looks like that hurt. abraços e melhoras

I know a highly respected luthier in the Uk who would take that on and would more then likely replace the top. Cost circa 900.00 UKP, and it would right. Question would be would it devalue a 10000 guitar. I guess it would, bu5 in its current state it worthless .

Is it possible to use it with a router ?

got a package from Columbia the other day and I bet I know what's in it".
