Guitar Rosette Cutter

Hey guys,
please find attached a copy of my guitar rosette cutter.
Save yourself a few hundred and make this one yourself.
Cheers

Nice!!  I love it when I can use my CNC machine to make 'tools' or piece parts to make other tools more useful.  Nice job

That's a nice looking tool.  Let me ask a question that might sound (no, might BE) silly...

Why cut the rosettes by hand, when you already have a CNC machine?

If you were using a drag knife, I could understand (almost), but that looks like a router mounted on the tool.

Second go at responding!
Guys,
great questions.

I want to put as much handcraft into the guitar as I can.

Im making jigs and tools to make the guitar by hand.

Back to old school roots.

Attached is a short vid of a practice run.

Thomas, there's nothing wrong with that.  In fact, that's probably the only good reason not to do it with CNC.

Good on you!  I've built a fair bit of fine furniture, and have done several pieces with hand tools, only, in order to say that I did.  That is reason enough.
