I'm a beginner woodworker and want to start making some reusable templates for use with my router. What materials do you recommend that I use to make durable reusable templates? Also I would appreciate any links to where I could find some of the more standard templates for purchase (like circles, letters, numbers, ect.)
I've considered Plywood, hardboard, MDF, and acrylic, though I'm thinking the hardboard might be a bit thin to run the bearing on.
I have access to a 3' x 4' laser to assist in cutting the acrylic or hardboard, so I'm leaning towards those right now.
I'd appreciate any tips and suggestions.
