This provides additional space on the cavity that ensures the contact terminals of the Jack
socket do not come into contact with the wall of the cavity and create a short circuit to
(conductive) shielding.
IMPORTANT: After making the cut STOP the machine to a complete rest
before withdrawing the cutter from the guitar. Reason is if a spinning cutter
is lifted out and is not positioned within the footprint of the pickup cover an
undesirable piece of wood will be removed. The desired cut should not be
seen from the outside.
