Product Information

The primary consideration for a cordless wood router would be doing it have enough power to perform the wood carvings you will need to be done. I can tell you from the experience I use a Dewalt DCW600 cordless router for all my wood sign edges. It performs very well and with the cord not being on the router so it does not get in the way. Templates are also an essential part of a router sign making kit. These templates are typically made of plastic or metal and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They are used to guide the router bit to create precise and consistent cuts.

The first thing you need to look at is to decide what you are making? This is the important step to decide the size of the sign, as well as the size of the letter.

Full-Size Wood Router – These are the big boys of the router toolset. They are at the 3 HP to 3 1/4 range and are specifically designed to endure a production level use. They are the ones you see in a high carving level business with CNC’s. They are heavier to use and bulkier.

However, if you want a little bit of a flavor of what you can do with the wood router I would suggest a router bit kit. This would include several basic types of wood router bits and give you a capability for edging, mortises, and joints. What I’m saying is it is a purpose and/or personal choice. I have a router that I can swap to a 1/2 inch shank if needed. It is a big router. Although I don’t use it very much. Most of my router bits are 1/4 inch. Pros What is the most important? If the size of the letter is most important for you, then, it is important to determine the signboard dimension by the number of words. And if you think that the signboard dimension is important in your case, then the letter needs to be adjusted in the required size. To make your sign-making even more convenient, Milescraft has included a 3/8-inch core box bit with the Router Sign-Pro. This bit is perfect for creating smooth, curved edges on your signs, adding a professional touch to your finished product.
