Note: These templates are made when ordered it could be that shipping will take 1 day longer.
Use:
- Make sure your workpiece is placed steady, flat, at a good height with a comfortable working position and good view on your work area.
- Be focused.
- With routing, always wear protective clothing such as eye and ear protection and a dust mask. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove waste material and prevent that from heaping up.
- Set the RPM to the advised rate that comes with your machine or router bit.
- Keep the ball bearings of your template bits clean before and after use to make sure the bearing doesn’t get stuck during routing.
- Never route too much material at once to prevent your router from breaking away and to avoid unnecessary ware on your router bit. Guide is maximum half of your router bits height and half of its diameter.
- To create sufficient depth while keeping the guidance bearing of your template bit against the template, work with different lengths of bits, changing them when more depth is required.
- Secure templates with good double-sided sticky tape. If you secure the template with clamps, protect the wood of the body and make sure that your router can move freely.
- Always use our templates so that the text is readable (or for left handed so that none is readable).
- You can use the neck template to mark the fret positions on your fretboard. Always cut your fret slots before routing the shape of your fretboard.
- Always check before routing if your purchased hardware and pick-ups fit in the template cavities.
