RobF -> RE: Cutting out my Soundhole (Aug. 22 2020 21:59:18)

I’m assuming the rosette is already in place, hence the problem. One idea that springs to mind would be to wrap a piece of paper around the pin until it is 5mm in diameter then snug that into the hole(s). The pin should end up being able to spin freely inside the paper gasket which, in turn, should be holding the pin dead centre within the hole. Use a work board with a 5mm hole, and hold the top and the soundhole cutout firm to the workboard with a little bit of double-sided tape to help keep things from moving around when making the cut, especially during the final pass when the cut nears completion and things can spring loose. Might be worth a try. Also, even if the soundhole ends up slightly off in relation to the rosette, it’s not the end of the world as minute adjustments can be made by eye when bevelling its edge. Done carefully, the adjustments will render any misalignment virtually undetectable and I have no doubt that the result will be an object of great beauty capable of evoking the admiration of the masses and the envy of your peers.
