Hello,

I just joined DIY and I have a question on tools. I am considering
making my own and possibly selling wood guitar tuner buttons. The
problem I have is on the shaft side of the button is a 3/32" x
5/32" rectangular shaft slot with rounded ends.

I was looking at mortising bits but they are just too big. How would
anyone go about making this hole? Thanks in advance for you help.

Only way I know is with a broach. This is a tapered file-like tool of
the shape you want and cuts on the inward stroke, not by turning. You
would start with a round hole and shape it with the broach.

I would go with the epoxy fill, myself.
