Rosette tool

[MarkAndrew1]

What kind/size bit should I use to actually cut the sound hole?

I use an 1/8" down cut bit for cutting the sound hole and removing material for the rosette. Think I bought mine from drill city. I have other various sizes for inlay.

Can I use a 1/16" down cut bit?

Dave Bagwell: If your looking for 1/8" bits for a Dremel check out Roto-Zip bits. You should shorten and resharpen.

Ah - thanks.

I'd question the "economy of effort" but I'd still like to see how one cuts down and sharpens those spiral Zip bits.
