LBD - I do not have a laser, but I am in the process of installing a CNC (slowly - I have a lot going on 🙂). Template making is one of the plans for it.

Handy move... I never surrendered to that dark side because of the mess (router swarf) and the need to secure to timber.  With the laser it just lays there and even goes to sleep.

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
