Very good

Robert, could this tool be also used as a "scoring " tool for rosettes. I use a laminate router and an attachment, but I'd like to use this tool to score the outside and inside circles so I can minimize tear out, and have nice clean edges for my rosette. John Bogdanovich does this, but I'm having a hard time trying to find the right tool that would do the scoring. Thanks in advance. - Bruce

I was gifted a soundboard with the sound hole previously cut out. Do you think I can cut a disk the size of the sound hole to locate the center and accurately cut the rosette? any suggestions?

I think this is probably the best way to do it. Just make sure the plug is snug. Any movement in it resulting in movement of the top could cause an off-center or elliptical rosette channel. Make sure everything is clamped/taped down tight before cutting.
