Not 1/4 " thick

I tried these with a set of Freud FT1500 liners and the templates were too thin for the large bushing. Its thickness N is 0.2095 in. thick enough!

Pros

Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Economy Buy

They are suitable for those like me who have never made insoles or bow ties. I managed to cut out a butterfly and prepared the blank quite well. Acceptable for the first time.

Pros
  • Power Tool Parts and Accessories
Cons
  • Long Lead Time

Works well but needs extra floor space to hold on countertop.

They match the inserts I made on the live edge table. I have two issues with how we treat them: 1) There needs to be more plastic on the outside of the butterfly to hold it. I ended up using hot glue to stick it to my work surfaces. I assembled the table from Ref Oak and made walnut inserts. If I followed the pattern, everything was fine. 2) They are a little scratched after repeated use. I guess I'll have to clean them up a bit at some point if the router can get stuck on a scratch or at least

Pros
  • Power Tools and Hand Tools
Cons
  • High Price
