Router Sign Making Kit

This router sign making kit includes everything that you need, except the router, to make beautiful signs. You can make horizontal, vertical and curved signs using either letters or numbers, or you can use a combination of both, with no limitation to the length or depth of the sign. The kit comes with six templates, four with letters (A - Z) and two with numbers (1 - 9), a phenolic router base plate with self-centering tool, 13mm solid brass guide bush and an 8.5mm TCT router bit with 1/4" shank. The templates are made from 6mm deep impact resistant polycarbonate that absorbs vibration and will not flex or bow during use. The letters and numbers measure 57mm in height and are in the clean, modern Arial Rounded bold font which features rounded corners to allow the guide bush to move smoothly around the inner edges.

If your router does not directly accept the 13mm brass guide bush then you need to fit the phenolic base plate to your router. This is simply a case of using the self-centering tool to centre the base to your router and then drilling the base to match the screw holes in your router. To make your sign, you mark out in pencil your wording, spacing the letters accordingly. Once you are happy with the pencil layout, set the plunge depth of your router to 2mm, securely clamp the template to your workpiece and rout out the first letter in a clockwise direction, making sure the guide bush remains in contact with the template for the duration of the pass. Once the first letter is complete, remove the clamps and place the required template over the next sketched letter.

The tungsten carbide tipped router bit is from our premium series and will allow you to rout hardwoods, softwoods and composite woods leaving a feather free, professional finish. This complete sign making kit comes highly recommended and will soon have you making beautiful house, name or number signs for family, friends or customers. ©
