I haven't used the Rockler template -
I'm cheap -- prefer making my own similar to the one demonstrated in BJ's earlier post.
BUT - I found the following under the "More Info" tab on their web site ad for the template.
We suggest using our 1/2’’ Pattern Cutting Bit #33536 (sold separately, but other 1/2’’ pattern bits also work.
I would be willing to bet a doughnut -- if you do this -- you will get a good fit.
If you do this and STILL get a bad fit -- then Rockler is at fault -- and I owe you a doughnut.
If you are (understandably) concerned about messing up your table -- you can always test the template on a scrap of plywood first.

Just read your last post - that you followed directions and still got a bad fit.
I owe you a doughnut.
As for determining the correct bit to get the correct radius --
Thats a matter of geometry and I think someone else has already addressed that.
BTW ---
Thanks for helping confirm my decision to make my own template rather than buy one.
