Templates for round slate coasters

I have locating holes in the bed of my China Blue. They were marked by the laser before being drilled and I keep them in a template directory for making new templates.

I do the locating holes on a piece of plywood. Put in M5 screws and place them in the holes. I then cut the shape of the object(s) I’m using using absolute coordinates.

Theses ‘shapes’ are kept in a template file as tool layers and ‘imported’ when needed for a project.

This is 12"x12" mirror…

I have one for coasters (no picture :frowning: ) that is a 3x3 grid and a smaller coaster with a 4x3 grid.

With a template they will ‘snap’ into the center of the tool layer. Making easy changes or variations to a job. Makes it easy to to do batches…

I’m sure you’ll figure it out… but we’re always around…

Good luck.
