Print out the template on a sheet of regular paper. You can actually scale the image to a larger sizewhile maintaining the relative dimensionsfor a stronger focus. First, cut out the template pieces, then use a glue stick to affix foil to the front of each piece. Use a knife to make cuts on the indicated slits and bend the reflector to fit the six tabs into the respective holes.

Attach Onto the Router
