Thanks for reminding me...hence the name "Dinky". It never occurs to me that it's actually smaller in scale..
"I take it you play a Dinky? Used to have a Dinky Reverse that I installed a MIDI pickup onto, got stolen...."
I feel for you...I have 2 1992 Dinky's, both have the trans maple tops, 1 in red and the other in cherry burst..They are very fine guitars. The real MOP inlays, German JT-590...I have another guitar I built modeled after Warren DeMartini's Hawaiian Koa. Mines alder with a MIJ neck that I refretted with SS jumbo frets. That one beleive it or not plays better than the Dinky's.
What is a spoilboard? Is that what you attach your work to?
Also, to get 5 1/2" of travel you would need a router bit at least that long right? So what factors determine your z axis. And is 5 1/2" travel long enough?
(sorry for the question) What programs are you guys using? Do I need 1 program to design then import it into another? Or can Solidworks 2012 do it all?
The interface between your computer to the control box, does it need to be a parallel cable?
BTW, if I need to increase the budget I might as well. After all, products are only as good as the machines your using to make them...
