Rell Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Most fabricators/installers have router templates to make those kinda pieces(bought templates) Like smart templates http://www.mobilesolutions-usa.com/smartparts/smarttemplates.htm Spend some time with some 1/8in hardboard and you can make your own. It cuts easy and sands very well, you can also use 1/4in or 1/2in mdf. If it's a template you think you might use more then once you may want to consider transferring the wood templates to some kinda of plastic material for any longevity out of them. Now to get perfect gaping(if final project will be wrapped in vinyl) for the templates and inserts it takes a little technique and router skills with a combination of a few different bits and router bearings. This I can't exactly explain as I have yet to experiment with and would like to know whats combination of bits work best to get a nice gap so I can wrap pieces in vinyl. Not my pic. Whole wall of router templates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NomaOnAir Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 You can buy or make your own templates. I tend to try an make as many as I can as I do not have the money to buy MBS templates.I usually get my shapes , rough cut , then sand by hand until I feel it is good enough. Also know that a router will "round" per day any "sharp" croners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
