This is a set of 2 router templates for a bowtie inlay or bowtie joint :
- 1 template to route the negative part of the inlay (bowtie_template_ech1_negatif)
- 1 template to route the bowtie itself : you still have to cut 2 tabs of the bowtie and sand them flush (bowtie_template_ech1_positif)
Size of the bowtie :
- 120 mm length
- around 48 mm width
- 30 mm at the smallest width
- 4 mm radius in the corner
If you use both templates, make sure to use an 8 mm router bit with a 14 mm guide bushing or copy ring to have the matching radius.
You can find the one I used here : https://www.printables.com/fr/model/975141-festool-router-guide-bushing-adapter
The height of the templates is 6 mm, so it can be used with an 5 mm guide bushing.
I fixed the templates to the wood with double sided tape, but there are also 4 holes in the corners. If necessary, you can drill them to size and countersink them.
By tweaking the outer ring of the guide bushing with masking tape, I was able to ajust the tolerances and mill the joint in cherry wood.
Update 30.12.2024
I added two templates with approximately half the size of the first ones.
