I did it on 2 passes and lowered the depth by removing washers 1 mm. thick at a time. The purfling drops in with a light cleaning of the groove and tapping it in slightly. I am really pleased with the results. Now to finishing the rest of the plate . Have a good Christmas everybody. |
Greg M thats what I use the Dremel 3000 and 1.3mm bit my second violin I made a jig to hold the dremel and a foot petal to lower the dremel I see in the video according to Michael I was going the wrong way
EDIT: I did a back plate today and video is correct, dremel is turning clockwise as it is mounted, and I am moving the plate instead of the router.

OK first picture is the rig, what you don't see is to 1/2 collars or sleeves that after I set this in the holes I use the sleeve collars to lock it in up position
taped two holes in base for the long rods and one to mount the plastic extender
I used these toilet bolts to fine the hole distance
I used a piece of a old plastic part to extend the purflin tool base as it raises up.
I had to round a spot on the back of the plastic so that the long rod would be able to screw in the hole for it, it also served to keep the white plastic extender from turning and also sanded the plastic to match the base
I used whatever I had to make the pedal, the cable came off a riding lawnmower's blade engaging handle
two 3/4" plywood glued together for table remember to allow room behind jig for violin plate, I did not and had to mount it 2" of the wall.
I did a back violin plates today and the dremel goes clockwise so I did have to turn my violin plate clockwise to cut correct, dremel going anti clockwise |

Ok Ken, I went and took some pictures
Those brass screws or those two toilet mount screws
Those at the top of the shaft or bushing that go through that peice of plywood to help keep the jig from any wobble

Thanks Rick, even with this table I still make a wobble or two LOL, I guess time will allow me to get a steady hand. My biggest trouble is getting those miters where they look descent, we need a jig to help do those LOL

And it still won't work on a closed box. I'll stick with my Foredom. |

Good point L P
I would likely work fine if it was modified and made adjustable to raised for the violin box. (I might think on that a while and try the closed box way, my rods or long enough I think to go the couple inches needed) I read it was better to do it on a closed box , I already ran into the issues where I needed to reshape the edge to have a nice uniform edge all around, but with the prufling already installed your stuck with what you have. |

|
|
Speaking of breaking spiral bits, I have read it recommended the depth of cut be no more than half the bit diameter. So that would take 3-4 passes to cut the channel. I've tried in one pass, but find it better to take 2 or more. I'd like hear how others do this. |

I always do it in one pass and have never broken a spiral carbide bit. I broke several of the steel, straight flute bits before I switched. I did make a couple of single flute steel bits years ago that work but not as well as the carbide. |

I broke the lee valley (steel) bit within a couple of inches the first time I tried it.
With that one I couldn’t do more than 1/2 depth. I posted info earlier on some CNC type (so called by vendor) bits. I can do full depth in one pass with those. But SLOW moving. |
