I purchased the Sign Pro to help my son make a trail sign for his Eagle Scout project. It took a little practice to get the letters cut right.

I broke one letter on my second try. This is because I did not have the chase tight enough and a letter came loose. They will pop out if you are not careful.

(The chase is the frame that holds the letters.)

If you want to do a lot of signs, I recommend that you order an extra letter kit. They supply two letters each with the original kit.

You are also limited to letter size. You can only do 2 1/2" and 1 1/2" letters.

You can do bigger letters with the Panagraph MilesCraft sells. You can also do graphics with it also.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I also recommend that you make short chases of letters instead of making a long chase of letters. It's easier to handle and you are less likly to make an mistake.

Be sure to use other letters as spacers between your words. Turn them around backwards so you won't cut them by mistake and mess up your sign.

Over all, I recommend the Sign Pro. It did a good job on our sign.

I am making replacement signs for our neighborhood so have a about a hundred to make. Some of the street names are very long so I needed an extra set of templates. I had read in other reviews about the troubles with flex in the rails letting the templates drop out so we started out by screwing a small block against each rail in the middle of the rails. It worked perfectly. After a dozen or so signs we tried it without the blocks. Just as others said the rails separated and let the templates fall out. We caught it in time and did not ruin the work piece. We made 24 signs with no more trouble using the blocks. If you have a lot of signs to make with this kit here is my advice.
1. Buy two kits instead of one kit plus another template. With two people one can be setting up the template guide while the second is routing.
2. If you use the double rails you must block the center.

We expect the kit be used with about 150 signs by blocking the center.

After being very disappointed with a previous sign jig I was nervious about trying another. This jig is easy to use, clamps well to the product and comes complete with all the necessary accessories to set it up and begin work.
