    Template for Headstock Drilling/Slotting Jig, O'Brien classical (ref: SHSDSJ-ST2)

    Important Note: This template is derived from the O'Brien plan based on an actual instrument. This instrument's peghead was asymmetrical.

    Drill block for Headstock Drilling/Slotting Jig, 1/4" posts (ref: SHSDSJ-DB4)

    This drill block is meant to be used with the LMI Headstock Drilling and Slotting Jig. It is designed to be used to drill holes for tuners with 1/4" shafts and where hole bushings are not provided/used. One drill block is included with the jig. A 1/4" (.250") drill bit should be used with this drill block. See the photo below for a further explanation of which drill block/bit to use when drilling for your slot-head tuners.

    Note: Most manufacturers of tuners with 1/4" shafts recommend a 1/4" drill bit, but if the shafts actually measure 1/4", this might be a bit tight and require a bit of reaming out. 

    This item is not meant to be used as a stand-alone drill guide.

We highly recommend these peghead templates to be used in conjunction with the Headstock Drilling and Slotting Jig. They are perfect for marking your tuner locations. They are optional in case you have purchased them previously. Choose the template(s) that coordinate with the routing template and drill block(s) you chose.   

This template is designed to be used with a mechanical pencil - specifically, the Graphgear 500 - although others might work. The 0.09mm x 4mm Graphgear sleeve is longer than most mechanical pencils. It is made specifically for templates.

Our 1/4" compression bit is the recommended bit to use with this jig. The upcut on the bottom of the bit helps prevent router blowout. In addition, the jig demands a long bit to accommodate the depth of the jig and the peghead and these fill the bill.
