thanks for the help! i was really confused for my project where to drill the holes, but why does it have to be 6 degrees? can it be perfectly horizontal if i don't use the jig?
Hi! Thanks for your feedback! 6 degrees is simply the best approaching angle for your drill bit. With this angle you'll get the most comfortable access to the cavity with your drill and it will prevent you from drilling into the pickup cavity. Of course if you manage to make an horizontal hole it will not affect the spring claw's function ;)
