Question Neck radius/shape

Hi all

Just wondering, what is the neck radius / shape on the (BSR)5TNE?

Feels great, just wondering what it was

Cheers

Don't remember exactly. It was 30 years ago when we made that cutter so with hand sanding and leveling after cutting, it is a compound radius of some degree. The wider the neck, the shallower the the curve. The shallower the curve, the bigger the radius. Bigger circle!
