Product Information

Introducing the Clear Acrylic Router Template - the perfect tool for woodworkers and resin artists looking to create stunning and intricate designs. Made from high-quality, durable acrylic, our router templates are designed to help you achieve precision and accuracy in your craft. ROUTING THE RECESS. After selecting a template for your design, start by positioning the template on the workpiece and securing it with double-sided tape. Then, with the sleeve on the bushing, simply rout the outline of the recess and the remainder of the waste by following the template. If necessary, square up the corners with a chisel.

Our templates are laser-cut for optimal precision, ensuring clean and crisp lines every time. Whether you're a professional woodworker or a DIY enthusiast, our templates will make your projects stand out and impress everyone who sees them. SELECTING ROUTER BITS. Chances are, you already have at least one of the most common template routing bits. A flush trim bit, like one shown in the photo above, is the perfect choice for templates designed to fit beneath the workpiece. With a bearing at the tip riding against the template, a flush trim bit levels the edge of the workpiece to match. OTHER OPTIONS. Hardboard is another commonly used material. And occasionally I use acrylic, especially for those applications where I need to see more of the workpiece to orient the template to the grain of the wood.

You might already be familiar with the idea of template routing from using a dovetail jig. In this application, a router equipped with a guide bushing follows the fingers of a dovetail template to cut perfectly spaced, tightfitting dovetails in minutes. This same concept opens up a lot of possibilities for creating matching inlays. Once you learn to make pieces, tight-fitting joints, or seam your own templates and choose the right router bit for the task at hand, there are almost no limits.

This same combination works in a router table as well. Only at the router table, you can have the template on top of the workpiece instead of below. A good example of this is routing matching top rails for "tombstone" cabinet doors.

You can also align by eye. For greater accuracy, keep the same edge of the guide against the template throughout the entire process. Edge Trimming
