Carbatec have combined Rockler’s Letter and Number Sign kits with a brass guide bush and 3/8" Core Box Bit into one kit, giving all that is needed to do signs quickly and easily. The individual templates fit together like a jigsaw puzzle to form a stable pattern.
The brass guide bush when fitted to the base of a plunge router, fits into the template, and with the router on, it is plunged to a preset depth, and the template is followed creating the number, letter or symbol. A 12.7mm (1/2") diameter brass (RK-BUSH12 included) bush for best results.
Masking tape or painters tape holds the templates down during the routing process, a 3/8" (9.5mm) ball nose bit (814-095-11 included) giving the most appropriate size and width letters for the height.
The letters kit includes:
Total of 40 letters with duplicates of common letters and three spacers.
- A, A, B, C, D, E, E, F, G, H, I, I, J, K, L, L, M, M, N, N, O, O, P, P, Q, R, R, S, S, T, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, ‘, and three spacers.
Number & Symbols Kit includes:
- 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 9, 0, 0, !, @, #, $, ', ?, ., / and &.
Correct alignment of the guide bush on the router base is very important.
Staff recommendations:
Buy two sets of the letter sets, doing signs and being short on a few letters to complete a word or name is frustrating.
