Easy to use awesome letter templates

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2023

Verified Purchase

If a guy like me who’s full time job is working with computers for a living can do this, then chances are you can too ;)… I’ve only recently started discovering that I like working with wood. Started putting together a little workshop in my garage and decided to play with a router and lettering just these past few days, for real. Got these templates last week and this is my first sign. Practiced a few letters on a piece of scrap to get the hang of it and before long, I was able to do this like a pro. Word of advice if you use the rail jointers is that the rails will not keep straight and letters will fall out (big mess with that router), so use small clamps to keep rails straight. I got better results simply working on smaller sections at a time instead of one long line at once (not sure if that made sense).

most likely easiest to use system out there when used with care.

Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2022

Verified Purchase

This is a great system. 4 take-aways.

1- The templates are plastic so be careful.
2- It is best to use a plunge router.
3- If you are making a large sign add another clamp to the center, or the extended rails will bow slightly.
4- Use a cheap piece of wood for your first attempt.

My first attempt was met with utter failure. I tried to make a large sign using the extended rails. there is a slight bow in the center and it will make the letters/numbers look odd. when you have it measured out put a clamp just right of center, and when you get near it move it to left of center and move on. This will remove the bowing effect. Don't expect to do well on your first try, and keep in mind that these are plastic templates, and you are using a bit that can ruin them easily if you dont use care. This is where I say a plunge router would be best. Some cheaper routers are harder to see if you are in the template or not, and when you turn it on you just gouged your template.
I highly recommend this over the other systems I have seen. Others seem to take too many steps, or just looks difficult in their intricacy. This can be a system that can be used for many years. I would like to see the option to purchase more symbols, and maybe individual letters. You get 2 of almost every letter, 4 of a couple others. Creating a sign for some names out require more variety of letters. Still this is in my opinion the best sign making kit out there.

The media could not be loaded.

I have been wanting to get into making some fun signs for a while. I have had this Bosch Colt router for years but have always been a little bit intimidated by it. This kit works great. I clamped it done and screwed the ends down as well. Never moved at all. First time I tried it I got great results in a piece of pine. Great buy for the price. If you are making a word with more than 2 of the same characters, you’ll need to purchase an extra set of numbers.

Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2021

The concept is good, but obviously profits were more important than adding a few more quality features. First, this thing needs to have tiny holes, chips, markers, ruler, etc., on both top, bottom, and both sides which will allow to easily center the finished, routed letters both vertically and horizontally on a piece of wood with drawn lines. Also, the letters are too thin, and many letters are flimsy and way too flexible to maintain their position in the rails provided. The tolerances are too loose and many letters flex up or down when all the screws are tightened down. I actually routed a five-letter name where the right-side spacers flexed and the fourth letter moved to the right about 1/8th of an inch. Also, it can be difficult to see and follow the router and create unintentional cuts outside the intended letter lines. I believe the collet should fit tighter in the letter slots as well which would keep the router bit on track. The provided bits are cheap and dulls after very little cutting time. Lastly, contrary to the instructions, the bit only makes clean cuts when cutting 3/16 in or less into the surface. I'm largely disappointed, but I intend to keep trying and perhaps get this down to a fine science, since I've used it and can't return it at this point.

Great stencil kit with a little practise

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 3, 2021

Verified Purchase

The amount of parts in the box is a little intimidating but most of it is letters and number stencils which, to me, is a good thing.
Assembly of the jig is pretty straight forward and the instructions are clear enough but I found it helpful to watch an instruction video. There are a few on Youtube, including Milescraft's own.
In my rush to use the kit for a small project that I was just finishing I used it with a trim router. The trim router that I used didn't have a plunge base which meant that I did scuff the stencil with the spinning router bit as I brought the bit down through the stencil to the wood.
This problem disappeared as soon as I attached a plunge base to the trim router. Using a plunge base means that the router guide bush is in place to protect the stencils and the router bit can pass/plunge through the router guide bush to the wood without damaging the stencils.

After my third practise board/cut I was producing decent consistent lettering.
The kit holds the stencils in a straight line for horizontal or vertical alignment.
If you want to cut wording in a curve or arch you will have to improvise.

I'm happy with the kit and if I lost it I would buy it again.
I prefer using my cordless trimmer, no cable to get in the way and dust extraction makes it easier to monitor the cut.

Good product. Easy to set up with instructions once you identify all pieces. Easy to change out letters as well. Only improvement would be availability of another set with different font style. First try on some spare timber was quite impressed by the result.

Works well.

Reviewed in Canada on December 27, 2020

This set is different than the older version. I like it better. The letters and number templates are made of firmer material although they are easily damaged by a mistake with the router. I also like the vertical numbers and the universal (horizontal and vertical) letters. I also like the new low profile clamps- this allows the router base to pass over the edge of the rail carrier. I however, do not care for the router twist lock bushings. They prevent me from seeing the template edges as the bushing follows it around. I use Porter Cable bushings with a home made clear router plate. Once experience is gained using the set- a very attractive result can be expected.
