I suggest that you purchase "Centerline" as well as the 60 & 90 Degree bits. The fastest signs are made with Centerline.
Your class time will not be long enough to finish most Raster carved signs as many run over 50 minutes.

Also, go to Carvewright's website and download and read all the "Tips and Tricks" issues.

Make them all mandatory reading for the students :mrgreen:

Also, Askbud has some terrific videos.

also contact lhr as they now have some teaching aids

might be worth the call

and dont forget you can rely on the forum for most answers and as my shop teacher always said "there are no such thing as dumb questions, only questions that got asked too late"

good luck your students will love the results
