Rockler Wood Bow Tie Inlay System
Cutting wood bow tie inlays can get pretty complicated with all the angles and mortising. Luckily, our Wood Bow Tie Inlay Template System makes cutting both key and mortise fast and foolproof. The Bow Tie Starter Kit includes a unique, two-piece bushing. Install the sleeve to rout the mortise, then remove it to rout the bow tie key. Since the same template is used for both, you're guaranteed a perfect fit. The Bow Tie Starter Kit also includes a specially-sized 1/8'' router bit, our acrylic frame and two bow tie templates: one 3-5/8'' long, the other one 4-1/4'' long. The frame holds the template in place, provides a surface for your router to ride on, and also accepts all of the templates in our optional Inlay Template Kits.
Wood Bow Tie Inlay System Features:
Use with a plunge router to cut bow tie inlay keys (sometimes called butterfly keys) and matching mortises
Beautifies and stabilizes slab tops and other wide tops prone to cracks and checking
Add decorative appeal and keeps checks and cracks from opening further
Starter Kit includes two bow tie inlay templates—add optional templates as needed
Frame and templates are made from durable 6mm acrylic with screen-printed cross marks for easy alignment and centering
Guide bushing with removable collar makes it easy to achieve a perfect fit using just one template
Includes 1/8'' diameter solid carbide spiral up-cut router bit with 1/4'' shank—templates up to 3/8'' thick may be cut with this bit
Note: For use ONLY with a plunge router outfitted with a baseplate that can accept a standard center guide bushing and retaining ring.
