Description

The Milescraft SignCrafter™ is a simple, effective way to turn your router into a sign-making system. Using 2-1/2" (63.5mm) self-spacing character templates, you can quickly produce custom wooden-engraved signs without the need for layout lines or measuring. Just slide the letters into the adjustable rails, clamp your workpiece, and start routing.

The kit includes the Milescraft TurnLock™ universal 7" (178mm) base plate. Setup is fast and tool-free, and the clear polycarbonate plate ensures full visibility of your cut. A durable 5/8" (15.9mm) metal nose guide bushing keeps the router perfectly aligned with each template for crisp, consistent lettering.

Precision & Control

Uniform Letter Spacing
Self-spacing templates eliminate layout errors — just slide them into the rails and clamp your workpiece for perfect alignment.

Durable Guide Bushing
A 5/8" (15.9mm) metal nose bushing keeps the router centred within the template, ensuring crisp, repeatable lettering cut after cut.

Clear Visibility
The 7" (178mm) TurnLock™ polycarbonate base plate gives you a clear view of your work area as you rout.

Build Quality & Design

Sturdy Rail System
Four 18" (457mm) letter rails link with bridges and joiners to create a rigid 36" (914mm) clamping system for longer signs.

Tool-Free TurnLock™ Base
The universal base plate accepts all Milescraft bushings and allows for fast, hardware-free changes.

Compatibility & Ease of Use

Router Compatibility
Fits most popular routers with 8mm collets and the base can be modified with a drill or file for non-standard models.

Good service

The item was purchased as a gift for my husband, he's has used it and is happy with it. He's already ordered some other bits from the site !
As described, well packed and despatched quickly, good service. Thanks

Does what it says

Good product, better than other jigs currently available as u have individual letters and can extend template holder to accommodate- easy to clamp to workpiece and bench - note do use additional clamps if using in extended mode as central template letters can move slightly - also option to screw end plates to workpiece and/or bench
Good solid adaptor plate and twist lock bushing
Suggest also buying optional set of 3 long reach router bits
Good value as well

Things can only get better

I need more practice with the jig and templates to get the best out of it.
First I used a large plunge router with the Milescraft base fixed to it, but now l’ve moved on to fixing the base to a lighter palm router. I’m hoping this will stop some of the plastic letter templates distorting as the router passes around them.
Kit is complete with good instructions but does come with an 8mm long reach router bit which is an odd size, had to buy the Milescraft 6mm set of three bits

Excellent Service

"The technical support and customer service I’ve received has been truly exceptional - world class and especially nice given it’s a rarity these days."
