  • There are times when I just want to make something for fun and I don't want to spend a lot of time worrying about all the details to make it right. Of course, I do want to make sure it's something I don't mind my name being associated with too! One type of project that's fun and can make a great gift for a loved one is a custom wooden sign.
    Whether it's an address plaque so the pizza delivery person knows NOT to miss my door once again or so help me I'll...or a humorous expression for reminding guest they're welcomed to visit but don't plan on staying long. Custom wooden signs are great projects. To make them even better and easier to knock out in your shop, Milescraft created the SignPro Kit. In the box is everything you need to make a wide variety of wooden signs, from horizontal to vertical...letters to numbers...large or small.
    All you need is some wood and maybe a dictionary so the neighbors don't shake their heads in disbelief, again. For the typical signs I've created with the SignPro, it's taken only minutes to have everything laid out and ready to route. Quick, simple and time well spent in the shop!

    Excellent demonstration (better than the manufacturers), with a lot of details a first time user would need, . Thanks (Just got mine this evening, and didn't understand some of the instructions, or instructions were lacking...)

    In that situation the only suggestion I have is either a sharp chisel or a gouge. I'd recommend trying a different router bit profile, but that just opens the possibility for a different issue.

    I would put blue tape over the spacer letter. I know myself tool well and I would end up with an upside down T in the middle of my sign... doh!

  • @Mattsbasementworkshop

    I had similar issues when using this system too. The only fix I came up with, and I shouldn't have to do this was to add a clamp in the middle to hold the frame snug against the letters. They include a little "clamp" that slides over the frames to help keep it from flexing, but mine seemed a little too loose and didn't do a good job. So adding the additional clamp helped. But when it comes to routing those letters you mentioned...that's another story.

    Unfortunately none that I'm aware of. I've asked before, but there's nothing that I could find. Thanks for watching!

    @Lou Flores I have this same unit but from Craftsman. The end parts are slightly different but its the same unit. What I did for signs that were going to be painted I just ripped some scraps of 1/2 ply and used my pin nailer to hold it way more solid. When you don't want to see the nail holes I set up a scrap piece of ply larger than the finished sign and used longer pieces screwed to the scrap ply to hold the template in place. The bars that hold the letters are WAY TOO THIN and should be made from a stiffer material for this to be a much better jig.

    I wish I was getting paid to push the product, I received the jig as partial payment for doing the voice-over work on their product videos. Believe it or not at the time I had received a few emails asking about setting up the jig and how it works.
    Sure I could've gone into greater detail about parallel lines, etc. But that's not what I was being asked to demonstrate by the audience...at the time of the recording. It's a good point though!

    I want to make a sign but it's going to be a long one for my place of work. Likely 6-8 feet long. Since I am looking for a system (I've used routers for years) I am assuming that I will just move the set up down the board. I'll likely be doing a top and bottom lettering of the sign similar to your welcome friends.

    What about the points that where left in the W where the bit leaves a bit inside the letters? How do I get rid of those?

  • @dclinks
    @dclinks 11 років тому +1

    im confused...you set it up, however you didnt show how to put the letters on two lines...how did you space it, and insure proper spacing etc? I know you have to push the product, but people looking to use the product can get this info in the user guide.

    I have one, and not very good it flexes to much not really worth the money, also very limited to what you can do with it.

    I have one of these and I am NOT impressed with it. The frame is flimsy, especially when using the extension bars. The letter make it too easy to make mistakes with certain letters, such as R, N, etc. Seems like it should be easy to use, but when the frame flexes and the sign is ruined, I want to scream!

      @@29ginad Is it possible that you use yo much force, or maybe your router bits are not sharp enough or the speed of you router isn't high enough? Here at my workplace it works very well.

      here it works just fine. I think you guys use the wrong router or bits. It really works smootly and the frame it steadt when I used the clamps. Can I help?
