FAQs

In some instances, NOT ALL holes in the router’s base will match the mounting pattern. Only two diagonal holes matched to a router’s base are required (as a minimum) for proper installation and operation. You may decide to modify an existing slot or add hole(s) to better suit your router. The screws supplied may not fit your router. If you supply your own screws, DO NOT use “countersink” head styles.

For really basic sign work, it's good. It's too bad there aren't any other styles of lettering available for this kit.

  1. I have had my Signcrafter kit for a few years now. It is fine so long as you limit your signs to using the single 18″ bars. The problem starts when you go to 36″ length. No matter where I put the “tightening slides ” the templets will work their way loose. On long signs I have to use extra clamps. Also it’s not that great on wood stock less than 4″ wide. It needs support under both side rails to make a decent cut. 4″ wide and 18″ long signs is pretty much what this is for. And yes…I have watched lots of YoiuTube on this.
