Is a 1/16 dremel router bit made?
I checked around and only found an 1/8" dremel router bit. I am making
a fretboard from walnut. Will the 1/16" dremel carving bit work to make slots? Thanks, Ron |

You'll be much better off using the correct tool for the job ... a fret saw: http://www.stewmac.com/item/5745 -- www.e-woodshop.net Last update: 9/30/07 KarlC@ (the obvious) |

I plan on using a thin strip of maple for the fret lines. I thought
about the fret saw, but the kerf is too narrow. |

Sorry, but don't luthiers have special tools for that ultra thin kerf cut?
I thought there was a special fret saw for luthiers which was a back saw with special saw tooth set for that narrow kerf. Luthiers Mercantile International, http://www.lmii.com/ has a 6 inch table saw blade with 92 teeth, 0.023 inch wide kerf search under Fretting, and then on next page scroll to bottom, and click on Power Slotting system.

I work with a guy who commanded two nuke subs back in the 80's, in his prior career. He recently explained to me that some diesel boats had fuel tanks with no bottom, as in open to the sea. The fuel floats on seawater pushing up from the bottom of the tank. As the fuel is used, the water replaces the fuel, and there's no air in the tank. Well, _I_ thought that was interesting.
