Hi Evil

You'er Welcome,,,the spacers are 1/8" MDF. the support block are 1/4" MDF and some have 1/2" blocks on the ends to lock the rails and a way to clamp the rails down without deforming the the rails with the clamps...

The 1/8" MDF is just for the insdie of the rails to keep the letters in place, that's one of the errors with the jig, the letters do like to drop out easy.

Just a note about the stock black hold down clamp that comes with the jig ,they sucks, just put it back in the box and use your own shop made one.
The error with them is you can't get them off or out of the way when you need to without taking the jig apart when you have a line of words or a long word that go pass the Alum. clamp in the center of the ralis...

I only received one (1) bit, I believe it is the 3/8" cove but NOT the other two. I purchased a starter bit set along with the router, but they are up the mountains, (my wife was HELPING clean up for a party last week and put them away for me) lol but I will be going up tonight. I will play with this over the weekend HOPEFULLY and left you know of my findings. THANK YOU VERY MUCH One and ALL
