Cheap light wood to use for a routing template?
« on: April 28, 2011, 12:33:32 pm »
I'm going to pick up my mdf and the wood for the template tonight. Any suggestions on what kind of cheap wood to use for the routing template?

I use thin MDF or scraps of plywood that I might have left from other projects.  Buying new thin MDF is probably the cheapest and easiest to cut.

Also note that a light wood may get indented by the ball bearing on the router bit over time.  This happens to MDF too but just slightly - not enough to where it makes a difference.
