Wow, a good quality product and design. I am very pleased with it and that it comes with everything you need but a router and a piece of wood!

for sure not new based on a few marks from what looks to be obvious use but overall a good product. I looked at other reviews carefully before finally deciding on this stencil kit and one review showed letter damage from trying to use it which made me a little nervous. After setting it up, which was simple, it became clear that the damage to the letter was operator error, however I will warn be careful on setting your depth. I starting to eat into the center lock by not placing the bit down far enough. Overall, this is a wonderful product that makes making signs not only easy but fun too!!

The kit works great! The assembly was kind of a pain. The screws that came with it weren't the right size and the screws for my router weren't long enough so I had to buy new ones. The only other problem I'm having is make A, O, and R and other liters with holes in them.

Works great. But, spacing needs to be carefully adjusted when centering on a long board or with more letters/words than can fit in the jig or with multiple lines on your sign. Be careful to keep the bit in the wood until the motor stops or you can damage a letter. Wish there were multiple S, E, I, M letters. Seems that there's never enough and requires more planning.

My experience seems to be a little different than most of the others who like this jig. For one, the bits seem too short. I haven't seen a lot of comments about that. If I follow normal procedure and bottom out the bit in my DeWalt plunge router and then pull it out a 16th, the bits are much too short. I can buy longer bits. In fact, I have some on hand. For another, the Milescraft included directions say to set up the router so that it cuts a 3/32 groove. The videos just say to adjust for the depth you want. At 3/32, the one letter I cut was perfect and did not need sanding or removal of fluff at the edges.. At deeper depths, it certainly does. But at 3/32, you won't be making a very visible sign. I'll cut deeper and clean up the edges as needed.

Nevertheless, despite those things, the kit does allow me to create signs, albeit, signs that need a little work after cutting. I haven't used the extension bars yet, but I know that those have to be braced.

The second sign I created came out perfect, except for the top of the A. I have two of them in my name, and one of them chipped out the top of the A where it comes to a point. I may have been better off routing out the whole top of the A. As it is, I'll cut both of them down a bit to just below where the tearout is on the one A.

Overall, with a little practice, I should be able to turn out satisfactory signs. Compared to every other system I reviewed, this is the best and/or the cheapest.

For those who seem to nick the letters when removing the router, the trick is to not remove the router while it is running, or at least, not remove the router until you raise the plunge mechanism. Take your time.
