Instructions
Secure the piece with double-sided tape. The circle should have tape right underneath. There are 4 things to cut - start from the center. 1. Using the V bit only slightly mark the center point, e.g. 0,5mm. 2. + 3. Change to a 3mm bit. These are the holes for the string. 4. Outside cut using 3mm. Note: When attaching the string be sure to attach it in a way that the center point is on the bottom. The diameter works well for 3mm acrylic but it might have to be decreased if a thicker material is used.
