NOTE. With the dust cover in place it is not possible to use a router bit with a cutting diameter greater than 27.4mm (1”).
Using the template guide
The template guide can be used in various ways:
•Producing duplicates of a particular design of an original shape.
•In conjunction with a template, producing decorative features.
•Repetitive cutting shapes.
If you wish to make your own templates it is best to use a hardwood such as plywood. Use a piece that is just thicker than the depth of the template guide. Allow for the thickness of the guide in your template to ensure that the work piece is cut to the correct size.
