Use a plunge router and base plate that excepts guide bushings and any one can make great signs. Your router base plate must be able to use guide bushings.I had to buy Milescraft universal base plate to use sign kit so spend the extra $20 and get the base plate for the bushings. System is easy to use. I have made 30 signs using Milescraft sign jig and bearing set.Fixed base router makes job difficult and you will make mistakes and ruin the plastic letters.

I make gifts for family and friends. I wanted to make names for some people I know. It was easy to setup and use right out of the box. I hope I can find different letter styles.

You can make a basic sign with this. It takes a little time to set up. It is a little flimsy. Letter storage is a hassle (not manufacturers fault, just a necessary evil). Is better than nothing (I am not good at free-handing letters!)

This jig is sturdy enough for most do it yourselfers. The directions are simple because it is extremely simple to assemble. Take your time and use commen sense routing the letters or numbers.

Out of box and just a little reading and using jig was easy. I put names on some stools for grandkids. Some letters when put next next to each other seem to have to much space between them compared to the rest (L and V were the two I had). Also the letter 'R' and 'N' I did not like in practice. I used the template but stopped short and did some free hand work as well. A good tool and with all jigs practice several times on scrap before the real thing. I would recommend it, just be sure to practice before using it on the real thing.

The overall design of this sign making kit is not bad, but, if in fact the Chinese are building them to the specification provided by Milescraft, the specs should be changed. The guide bushings (0.625") are too small for the templates (0.657")by at least 0.025". The router would still move freely and the results would be more consistant with the desired outcomes. I used three complete wraps of vinyl electrical tape on the guide bushing to make a half way decent sign. I believe if the folks at Milescraft had more interest in providing a good product, built in the USA, and less concern about short term profits, they would make more in the long run and provide the consumers with a much better product. I will not buy another Milecraft product.
