TEMPLET GUIDES

The router is equipped with an exclusive quick-
change templet guide adapter, which firmly
grips the guides with a spring-loaded ring. To
insert or change the templet guide, retract the
templet guide release lever. Align the cutaways
on the templet guide with the tabs on the bottom
of the templet guide adapter. Insert the templet
guide and release the lever to grip the templet
guide in place (Fig. 19).
Templet guides are used with a number of
special accessories, such as hinge templets,
which are listed in your BOSCH catalog. In
addition, special templets are easily prepared
for cutting repeated patterns, special designs,
inlays, and other applications. A templet pattern
may be made of plywood, hardboard, metal or
even plastic, and 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. 20).

DELUxE ROUTER GUIDE

(Not included, available as accessory)
The Bosch deluxe router guide is an optional
accessory that will guide the router parallel to a
straight edge or allow you to create circles and
arcs.
The deluxe router guide is supplied with two
rods and six thumb screws to fasten the guide
(Fig. 21). In addition, it features a fine
adjustment knob and indicator for accurately
positioning the edge guide relative to the bit.

With the guide installed and adjusted, the router
should be fed normally, keeping the guide in
contact with the edge of the workpiece at all
times. The deluxe router guide may also be
positioned directly under the router base for
operations where a cut is needed close to or at
the edge of the work.
For complete instructions on installation and
operation, please refer to the instructions which
are included with this accessory.
