Making laser cut router templates with my Glowforge



Take your woodworking to the next level by laser cutting your own router templates. With a router template, you can design and cut repeatable shapes out of any material without leaving a burnt edge. It expands the kinds of things you can make using your laser cutter. If you don’t already own a CNC machine, this process is a great alternative (it’s just a little bit more work).

But wait… I don’t own a laser cutter either! Use my referral link to save up to $500 on a Glowforge: https://glowforge.us/r/yNqbNs

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me. I’m always happy to help.
