Two-Template Letters
The unique two-template system creates whole letters
without splits, leaving center islands perfectly routed.
No need to carefully follow the outer edge of the
template. Simply let the captured guide bushing do
the work. Two-template letters are A, B, D, G, O, P,
Q, R, 4, 6, 8, 9, 0, #, & and @.
1. Connect the necessary templates to make your
sign. The two-part templates are clearly labeled in
the upper left corner (for example: A-1 and A-2). In
this example we will route “LODGE”. O-1, D-1 and
G-1 will be used in the first pass.

2. Securely attach templates to desired surface.
As added security, mark location of templates
using the notches provided. This may be helpful
when removing and replacing templates for
proper alignment.
3. Rout first pass, making sure to rout all templates.
4. Replace templates O-1, D-1 and G-1 with O-2, D-2
and G-2.

5. Rout second pass, completing the
O, D and G letters.

Place masking tape below the
templates to avoid writing on the sign surface when
marking the notch location. Fig. 3.
