That could work but it would make an insane amount of dust, you definitely want a cover on it and dust collection.
And for doing guitar tops and thinning stuff no way a drill will be enough power. You want a monster motor. Mine blows my fuse all the time. To sand 15″ of wood at one time takes a lot of power.
But in principle it could work. …

I could be wrong but snipe I think is more like tear out that happens at the end of the board but a little different from what you’re describing.

Hey Chris. I posted a short continuity testing video as a reply to gerry above that you can d/l (it doesn’t play through the site) and view. It should demonstrate a good connection between the bridge and cable sleeve.

I don’t know how much time you’re happy to put into this guitar but, if you wanted to try, you could consider replacing the pickup hook-ups and all the internal wires with shielded cables. It’s a bit of a pain in the ass. Depending on your willingness to continue, you can shield…

I feel this is a big missing element in my workshop (for guitar making at least). But where I live all tools, and especially machines, are a good 2x the price in the US or UK.

You’re right that the sled is quite a bit longer than the blank. I don’t know if what you’re describing is meant to deal with snipe (I left more than enough space at each end to allow snipe and just trim it off). But I’ve seen this advice and will try it as well.

there’s a bare wire under the bridge that runs to the control cavity where it’s soldered the the back of a pot.
