An easy way to do this is to get a compass with a pencil point and set it to 3/16". Then just trace the outline with the metal point against the mirror. Now you can cut out the shape, sand the edge smooth and you're ready to rout. I'd advise you to practice on a piece of scrap first, however, because this "formula" can be thrown off if your bit is not perfectly centered or if you get a little carried away and sand too much off the template. Good Luck. Dennis Don,

I have a question. I have a small oval mirror I would like to inset in some oak. What would I have to deduct or add to use the router inlay kit to size the pattern for the mirror? Thanks, keep those Podcasts coming. Great Podcast. I have a question. I have a small oval mirror I would like to inset in some oak.
