Review on πŸ¦‹ Enhance Woodworking Projects with HERMIT TOOLS Pack of 3 Butterfly Inlay Template, Router, and Decorative Templates by Brian Samuel

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good quality templates; Instructions are inaccurate. With the template

Butterfly inserts can be used to reinforce residential panels, to correct imperfections or for purely decorative purposes. This kit contains three templates for seven insert sizes. The templates are made from 1/4" thick Plexiglas and should be strong. To use them you will need a router and a suitable cutter. The basic idea is that you use a template to cut a hole for insertion. You can use the smaller template guide to cut out the actual inlay. Bits 9500 Solid Brass Inlay Kit" for example. This set from Hermit Tools comes with a small instruction manual. The instructions are wrong so follow the instructions that came with the Whiteside parts (or similar).

Pros
  • you can quickly and easily create perfect butterfly cutouts and matching inserts.
Cons
  • Weight
