After being very disappointed with a previous sign jig I was nervious about trying another. This jig is easy to use, clamps well to the product and comes complete with all the necessary accessories to set it up and begin work.

I made my first sign this weekend and it came out great!
First of all, before purchasing the sign making kit, I watched this video on youtube:
[...]
This weekend, I unpacked the box, barely looked at the directions, assembled the rails based on what I remembered from the video, slid the letters in, figured out my rails needed the plastic things that keep the rails from spreading, disassembled, re-assembled with those on there. Once I had that all set, I tried using the big C-clamps to hold the template to my board, but they seemed to get in the way, so I just screwed the template to a board.
Next, I put the baseplate on my router. The screws that came with it were too long, but after a brief search through my parts drawers, I found 3 screws with the right threads and length to attach the plate to my router. Attached the guide thing, the bit and I was ready to go.
I was routing a fairly long sign and was using the things in the middle to join two sets of rails together. The rails were kind of bowed downward in the middle of my sign. I put one screw in my board below the bottom rail (close to the center of the board) to nudge the rails upward and into better alignment. I should have added a screw above the top rail to prevent it from flexing upward as I was routing.
My first attempt went pretty well, till I got to the letter "B".... where I messed up. Should have just done the perimeter, nothing internal. Once I realized that, the rest went well. I think I'll get better with time. This was my first time using a router. You don't need much pressure at all. Just lightly trace around.
Bottom line is - I love it! Easy to use, easy to assemble, works great.
Making signs is a whole lot of fun! July 18, 2010

The Milescraft is the easiest method of making signs on the market. There is a short learning curve to making the first several attempts, but once you get it-you got it. I have been making signs for the friends in my ham radio club and everyone has been delighted to have one. Making signs for friends and family is gratifying. Imagine what you can do with it!
Amazon has the best price available anywhere on the net, look you will see.
