A Shape Table Leg Router Templates (Clear Acrylic)

Premium Acrylic Woodworking Templates for DIY Table Leg Projects

Are you a DIY enthusiast or a professional woodworker? Elevate your craft with our precision laser-cut Acrylic Woodworking Templates. Designed for creating sturdy and elegant wooden table legs, these templates are your ticket to bespoke furniture projects, including dining tables, coffee tables, and benches.

Our set of table leg templates are made from 1/4" thick acrylic. Perfectly suited as a router glide or tracing guide, these transparent templates ensure precision, allowing you to incorporate the most intricate details into your work. The thickness and durability make them reusable, a valuable addition to any woodworking toolkit, big or small.

Each Acrylic Woodworking Template is composed of interlocking pieces, employing our unique dovetail locking system for secure and easy assembly during routing. The clear acrylic enables perfect placement and alignment, ensuring each cut is accurate and each detail is precise.

To maximize your experience, we suggest using our Universal Mounting Plates for leg attachment and our specially designed Template Tape for affixing our clear templates to the wood.

The templates are available in three sizes to match the table project of your choice:

Dining Table Template:

• 19" Wide at the Top
• 30" Wide at the Bottom
• 28" Tall
• Template Sku: 08-019

Coffee Table Template:

• 18" Wide at the Bottom
• 15" Tall
• Template Sku: 08-020

Bench Template:

Instructions for Use:

1. Select the Appropriate Template: Choose the template size that corresponds to your woodworking project, whether it be a dining table, coffee table, or bench.

2. Attach the Template: Use our recommended Template Tape to securely affix the clear acrylic template to your wood piece. Ensure the template is firmly attached to prevent any movement during the routing process.

3. Initial Routing: Using a handheld router, trace around the acrylic template, creating the primary outline of the table leg. This tracing step serves as a guide for the subsequent cutting and trimming steps.

4. Cut Excess Material: After routing, use a band saw or jig saw to remove the bulk of the excess material. We like to leave about 1/16" to an 1/8" material. This step makes the following trimming process easier and more efficient.

5. Trim to Perfect Shape: Next, use a router table or a handheld router equipped with a flush trim bit. Use this setup to remove the remaining excess material, thereby refining the shape of the table leg to perfectly match the template.

6. Add Finishing Touches: After the table leg is in its final shape, sand the piece to smooth any rough edges. Add an edge detail to further enhance the look of your table leg. This could be a 1/4" round over or a 1/8" bevel, depending on your preference.

7. Attach the Table Leg: With the table leg complete, use our Universal Mounting Plates to securely attach the leg to your table or bench.

8. Repeat for Remaining Legs: Follow the same steps for each table leg. Ensure consistent application of the process to achieve uniformity in all table legs.

Remember, the beauty of creating your own furniture lies in the opportunity to add your personal touch. So, feel free to experiment with different finishes and edge details. Our Acrylic Woodworking Templates are designed to make the process easier, more precise, and more enjoyable for you.
