Does anyone know if routing through a glued down patten will dull a bit faster? I have always transferred the pattern with carbon paper, but the alternative sure would be a time saver.
Thanks in advance ...

I can't imagine it will . Unless you're using coarse sandpaper LOL Most glues are relatively soft as well. I glue up blanks with wood-glue or DunaBond ( like Gorilla Glue) on HDU or wood, & I rout them with no adverse effects.
Joe, can't seem to get a handle on what transfer tape is, can it be ran through a inkjet printer?
Made for transferring plotter cut vinyl to the substrate, it's used often in my laser work. It has an easily removable adhesive similar to blue masking tape, comes in various widths cut from 300' logs 48" wide at a sign supply, or online at EBay or other sources. I have run it through and inkjet by applying to normal paper, then trim edges to the paper size, print, remove from the paper and then apply to the material to be routed.
