Wonderful! At first I didn’t like the setup. But after using on several projects. It works just fine! And for the money you get two size letters sets.

The sign making kit does what it advertizes to do, at a reasonable cost. It is not made for frequent use though. The plastic letter templates wear out easily, ultimately resulting in blurred letters for the most used letters. One of the clamps (to clamp the rails on the sign) gave up after around 10 uses - it just snapped off and I had to replace it with better quality clamps. If you can cope with these challenges go for it. Else go for better quality.

At first, one of the pieces was broken, but they replaced it. It took me a while to actually get around to using it, but it worked as described.

If a guy like me who’s full time job is working with computers for a living can do this, then chances are you can too ;)… I’ve only recently started discovering that I like working with wood. Started putting together a little workshop in my garage and decided to play with a router and lettering just these past few days, for real. Got these templates last week and this is my first sign. Practiced a few letters on a piece of scrap to get the hang of it and before long, I was able to do this like a pro. Word of advice if you use the rail jointers is that the rails will not keep straight and letters will fall out (big mess with that router), so use small clamps to keep rails straight. I got better results simply working on smaller sections at a time instead of one long line at once (not sure if that made sense).

The amount of parts in the box is a little intimidating but most of it is letters and number stencils which, to me, is a good thing.Assembly of the jig is pretty straight forward and the instructions are clear enough but I found it helpful to watch an instruction video. There are a few on Youtube, including Milescraft's own.In my rush to use the kit for a small project that I was just finishing I used it with a trim router. The trim router that I used didn't have a plunge base which meant that I did scuff the stencil with the spinning router bit as I brought the bit down through the stencil to the wood.This problem disappeared as soon as I attached a plunge base to the trim router. Using a plunge base means that the router guide bush is in place to protect the stencils and the router bit can pass/plunge through the router guide bush to the wood without damaging the stencils.After my third practise board/cut I was producing decent consistent lettering.The kit holds the stencils in a straight line for horizontal or vertical alignment.If you want to cut wording in a curve or arch you will have to improvise.I'm happy with the kit and if I lost it I would buy it again.I prefer using my cordless trimmer, no cable to get in the way and dust extraction makes it easier to monitor the cut.

A little fiddly to setup but produced a very good crisp result on the first attempt. Bought the imperial set from the usa as it was much cheaper. No idea what difference a metric version would be as no measuring involved. USA version was 30% cheaper and delivered to south west england countryside in less than a week in 2021 during covid pandemic. Very impressed

It took a little to get started, but is normal. It is so easy to use and the signs came out perfect. Also the letters are kept in good condition when use the bushing around the bit. I receive double on all the letters.

This set is different than the older version. I like it better. The letters and number templates are made of firmer material although they are easily damaged by a mistake with the router. I also like the vertical numbers and the universal (horizontal and vertical) letters. I also like the new low profile clamps- this allows the router base to pass over the edge of the rail carrier. I however, do not care for the router twist lock bushings. They prevent me from seeing the template edges as the bushing follows it around. I use Porter Cable bushings with a home made clear router plate. Once experience is gained using the set- a very attractive result can be expected.
