After aligning the master and the workpiece, a router bit and matching stylus suited for the application should be selected and the elevation set. If working from a drawing determine whether the _etters are to be raised or recessed, and the amount of recess or desired height of the letters. If a raised Ietter is desired, raise the stylus above the drawing the same height as the desired height of the letters. A small scale or ruler is helpful in determining the depth of cut.
Route all areas around the letters leaving the letter intact, Smaller diameter bits and stylus may be required for the detailing of more intricate lettering, If recessed letters are desirable, simply trace the letters with the stylus after the depth of cut has been selected. When duplicating a sign from an existing sign the elevation of the stylus and bit should be the same. RAISED J LETTERS If the sign requires some relief cutting or slight undercuts, this can be accomplished by loosening the tilt plate wing nuts, pivoting the yoke assembly to the desired angle, and the resecuring the two wing nuts.
