PR110 ROUND SUBBASE AND USE OF
TEMPLET GUIDE BUSHINGS WITH PR101
FIXED BASE
(Available as optional accessories)
Optional large round subbases are available
separately and allow various templet guide
bushings to be used with the palm routers.
Templet guide bushings are used to guide the
router to repeatedly make consistent openings
and inlays using various templets (also referred to
as patterns and jigs). Templets for standard
routing applications are available commercially
and templets for specialty applications are
typically made by users for their specific needs.
The PR110 Round Subbase accepts threaded
templet guide adapters.
PR110 Attachment Round Subbase of
Threaded Templet Guide (Fig. 16)
1. Remove regular subbase.
2. Loosely attach round subbase using panhead
screws that come with that accessory.
3. Attach the threaded templet guide by putting
the templet guide through the bottom and
attaching the ring from the top.
4. Center the templet guide around the bit. (The
optional Bosch RA1151 Centering device can
be used to ensure that the templet guide is
properly centered.)
5. Tighten the panhead screws to hold the
templet guide and subbase in position.

Creating Templets

Templet patterns can be made of plywood,
hardboard, metal or even plastic. The design can
be cut with a router, jigsaw, or other suitable
cutting tool. Remember that the pattern will have
to be made to compensate for the distance
between the router bit and the templet guide (the
"offset"), as the final workpiece will differ in size
from the templet pattern by that amount, due to
the bit position (Fig. 17).
