template routing

Trend ’ s range of templates lend themselves to many aspects of routing , such as sign-writing , inlaying and curved rail panel door construction . Precision cut from 6mm or 8mm clear plastic , they are extremely durable and can be used with any plunge router fitted with a suitable guide bush or , for certain applications , a bearing guided flush trimming cutter

as simple as abc

Letter and Numeral Templates
The complete alphabet is made up of four letter templates , with two templates to cover the numerals 1 to 10 . All are in Trend ’ s uppercase ‘ Vogue ’ typeface , each letter having a nominal height of 57mm . Used with a 13mm guide bush and 8mm cutter ( supplied separately ), they are suitable for both commercial and domestic applications such as carving name boards and directional signs . Variations in the letter style can be achieved by using alternative straight , cove or v-cutters , all guided by the same 13mm guide bush . In use it is recommended that the script is traced from the template onto the workpiece first to ensure that the spacing appears even ( suggested spacing is 10mm between letters ). A straight edge can be clamped across the workpiece to align the bottom edge of each letter or numeral , or alternatively a simple jig can be constructed to position and hold the template . Always ensure that the template is secure and , to avoid damaging the template , always allow the router to stop rotating before lifting the guide bush out of the slot . Some letters and numerals are made up from part shapes , requiring the template to be repositioned to form the complete letter or number .
