Soundhole/Rosette Routing Jig

-Je suis toujours surpris de la qualite et la precision de tous les outils de chez STEWART-MACDONALD,

Worth every penny. The quality of materials and workmanship show in the performance of this tool. It cut perfectly concentric rings for sound hole trim and a perfectly centered hole on two sound boards in 20 minutes. No practice cuts required after the initial set up. The scale for circle diameter is very accurate. I purchased the dedicated router base and circle cutting attachment from Dremel but it wasn't nearly accurate enough to do this type of work. This is a no-brainer purchase. Every guitar shop should have one of these.

Takes all the heartache out of creating perfect rosettes every time.

This rosette jig along with the precision router base worked great to make a perfect cut for my rosette. The fine dial lets you shave a little at a time for a great fit. Couldn't do the rosette's without this.

Nice quality, good precision. Not sure why it has the 3" limitation built-in to it. I easily modified mine so that it could cut smaller diameter holes for a Ukulele. Also, one of the mounting screws that came with mine was the wrong thread type. Not a big deal, but glad I noticed before stripping the threads.

Love this jig. Extremely precise and very easy to use.

After using the rosette cutter, I find that it is a very good tool. I read previous reviews that agree with me, yet they mentioned some sort of re-design of the center pin to ensure accuracy. I find no re-design was needed- just drill your pilot hole the same size as the pin Stew-Mac gives you and you are all set. I could have made one, but why not invest in this one and give credit to the design where credit is due. Joe Andreas (J.M. Andreas Guitars)

Like the router base, a beautifully made tool that, not only looks good but, works really well too.

Very nice. Easy precision adjustment. But it would be nice if they provided an extra dowel pin to make it easy to do setup test cuts on a scrap piece. I bought a couple of extra dowel pins at the hardware store pretty cheap, but they are a bit shorter than the one provided.

This tool would be perfect if it included an extra centerpin with a stepped up shoulder that would accommodate the popular 1/4" size pin. Or, even better, if one was available separately.
