paf baseplate with 50 mm spacing

clown_luthier · 07-18-2009, 03:01 PM

so guys is it possible to buy baseplate like this but with 50 mm spacing and only on 1 side holes for screw poles?

I had good results by drilling the 49,2 mm baseplate.

Is .08mm really going to make a difference? That's only .04mm on eeach side.

That looks like a Stewmac baseplate which I'm fairly certain is 50mm. If it's not a perfect fit, just ream the holes out slightly wider. As Dave says, 0.4mm on each side isn't that much on a baseplate.

It's much more an issue with covers because for aesthetic reasons you can't do any reaming but a slight widening of baseplate holes to accommodate 49.2mm and 50mm parts is no problem.

You can tap those holes.
