video How to make a wood sign with a Craftsman Router
Step by step video instructions on making a custom wood sign. Other Great tips at http://www.routerforums.com/general-routing/10560-craftsman-router-crafter.html
I do belive there 1/4 inch shank bits, The smaller bit is a 1/4 inch shank with a 1/8" tip and the bigger one is a 1/4" shank with a 1/4" tip, these bits are good for removing wood for designs and lettering, I have tried the V grove bits with different angles for lettering and I really don't like them as much as the bit I used in this video for lettering
I never really used a router table, it kinda scared me. If you are burning wood that means your going to slow. I never used a speed controller before, I'm not sure if I know what that is. The bits I was using you should be able to get them any where. I will see what sizes they are and post that. Routing signs is a new hobby for me so I guess just practice as much as you can. Good Luck
Just curious what advice do you have for a router noob? I have a Craftsman router, but even clamped to a router table the thing tends to yank things away from me, bust out corners, or just burn the wood.
Do I maybe need one of those speed controller boxes or something?
Also, where do you get those cool tiny little bits? I haven't seen anything under 1/4 inch diameter in the stores around here. :/
