This router guide has been a lifesaver in my woodworking projects. It's made with industrial-grade materials, making it very sturdy and durable. The easy-to-use design ensures my transitions between curves and straight lines are seamless. However, it can be quite challenging to navigate when using thicker materials. Overall, this is a great investment for any DIY enthusiast or professional in the Industrial and Scientific field..
Pros
Allows for precise and clean cuts with its adjustable guides and templates
Cons
Requires an existing router base to be compatible, limiting its use for those without one
I didn't use it to make signs but to sketch the seat for a Maloof rocking chair. I used a paper seat template to make a plywood template (slightly larger) which I attached to the seat, I used a collar that rode the template and outlined the seat. The result is better than trying to cut a seat with no contour.
