With a bit of practice, freehand router carving can produce some really impressive results and can be an excellent way to customise furniture, wooden panels, and doors.

For a more accurate and repeatable method of 2D carving with a router, letter and number templates stencils can be used. Templates are usually made from acrylic and can be bought from many good online woodworking suppliers. If preferred, you can make your own templates from MDF or plywood. Letter and number templates are an inexpensive way to create good-looking signs Homemade Cnc Wood Carving Machine System and the process is very straightforward.

The template is then clamped to the workpiece. A guide bush which matches the width of the template is then fitted to the base of the router.

The router pantograph is basically a jig made from parallelograms, identical in principle to the tool an artist would use to reduce or enlarge a drawing. Each cross-section of the router pantograph has a mechanical linkage. When the user moves the stylus over a 2D image the router mimics this moment. Depending on where the router is positioned on the pantograph, the final copy will either be smaller or larger than the original image.

Router pantographs can be used to copy almost any 2D image onto wood, but are more commonly used for making signs, as shown in the video below.
