I edited your link to show the video Martin.
It's a great one showing some interesting technique that's useful for a lot of tasks.

I have seen this video before I discovered the ANZLF and I immediately had started to use that method. It's really a great alternative if someone dislikes routers as I do. Although not that fast as a normal router (but faster than a jig saw or even scroll saw) Robbie's "drill press router" does a clean job (clean cut, clean workshop and not much noise). Thanks!

To be stupid is like to be dead. Oneself will not be aware of it.
It's only the others who suffer.

Here's a "me too".
I'd also seen this vid & tried it on the last archtop headstock.
Worked well.

Hi all
I know this is an old thread but I would like to add that you can use this technique to route the saddle slot in a bridge. I made up a quick jig for the drill press so it was at the right angle and went slowly, not much at all in each pass. The 3/16 drill bit flexes a bit, so you need to push most of it into the chuck to stiffen it, but it works if you don't have a router, or don't want to do it by hand.
Cheers
Col

Thank you Martin for posting this video clip, I haven't seen it before.
Looks like a good inexpensive way to go for slotted headstocks.
