Initially it was a struggle to keep the template in one place until I realized the router just wasn’t following along really smoothly. So I waxed the templates which really helped but it also created a bit of a problem getting the tape to stick to the template. We solved that by taking the tape all the way around the template (instead of on 2 sides). Then what I noticed was the that the router was hanging up on the tape and would peel back the edges so I waxed the router base. Seems to help but the wax does wear off fairly quickly. </span></div><div class="yiv1819229415MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;">We are routing 3/16” deep and I have found it is better to make 2 passes then to try and take it all at once. </span></div><div class="yiv1819229415MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;"> </span></div><div class="yiv1819229415MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;">2Dave</span></div><div class="yiv1819229415MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;"> </span></div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in;"><div class="yiv1819229415MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;"> Woodworkers [mailto:woodworkers-bounces@lists.sawdusters.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Herb Treuil<br clear="none"><b>Sent:</b> Friday, December 02, 2016 4:34 AM<br clear="none"><b>To:</b> woodworkers@lists.sawdusters.org<br clear="none"><b>Subject:</b> [Woodworkers] Secrets to Stenciling with a Router</span></div></div><div class="yiv1819229415MsoNormal"> </div><div><div><div class="yiv1819229415MsoNormal"><span style="">I have seen several router template kits which advise to link the letters together and tape them onto the board with blue masking tape.
