It seems that anyone who wishes to purchase template guides are restricted to the imperial sets that are produced. Recently I had been approached to see if I would be prepared to write and convert my articles, which are based mainly on the use of the guides, from metric to imperial. I asked myself would it be worth while for a 78years old to make the changes? I did try a number of processes and I must confess it was not the least bit easy, even though I used the imperial measurements for over 20 years before making the change to metric. It is evident that the larger template guides are seldom used and therefore they remain in the box. Also the guides are mainly used with the straight cutters from the number of articles published in a number of magazines or books. Very little is shown where a 'face/edge' cutter is used.

Here is a simple project for consideration: Inserting an inlay 50mm/2" diameter into a solid piece of material

enclosed pic shows an elliptical insert

Just as a matter of interest has anyone given any considered as to how many combinations of Guides and cutters can be used to rout and insert an elliptcal inlay shown in the previous post.?
