Troubleshooting
Router won't follow template edge cleanly.
Verify that you are using the correct 13mm guide bush and an 8mm cutter. Ensure the template is securely fixed and not shifting. Check if a Unibase is required for your specific router model.
Numbers are not the correct size (not 57mm).
Confirm that you are using the correct cutter size (8mm) and that the guide bush is properly seated. The template itself dictates the 57mm size, so ensure it's not damaged.
Template is difficult to align.
Ensure the clear plastic is clean and you have good lighting. Use the engraved sight lines on the template for better positioning, especially for numbers like '0' or '8'.
