bornleft Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 One thing I never understood about these wood cavity covers is how do they match so perfectly when one considers the routing around the perimeter which must remove a minimum of 1/8" around the perimeter on all sides?

I cut the cavity cover using a laser. I did this before glueing the wood to the body. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopthebass Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 You can get router cutters that are 0.5mm diameter, and I used to cut covers using these before I got the laser. It’s slow going with such a small cutter, and requires numerous passes! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickA Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Build tech beyond Electric Wood's cowshed there! Lasers indeed 😯 Though one of my Wals has a black plastic cover and the other a home made aluminium one ( the original was cracked and I reckoned ally would be better shielding; it is, but it makes no odds ), so not essential to the sound 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
