PR009 AND PR010 ROUND SUBBASES &
USE OF TEMPLET GUIDE BUSHINGS
(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 repeated make consistent openings and inlays using various templets (also referred to as patterns and jigs). Templets for standard routing applications are available commercially, such as the Bosch hinge templet kit; and templets for specialty applications are typically made by users for their specific needs.
The PR009 Round Subbase accepts the Bosch
The PR010 Round Subbase accepts threaded templet guide adapters
*Note: The RA1100 Adapter for Threaded Templets allows use of conventional threaded templet guides with the PR009 Round Subbase.

1.Remove regular subbase.
2.Insert templet guide into top of round subbase such that the
3.Loosely attach round subbase using panhead screws that come with that accessory.
4.Center the templet guide around the bit. (The optional Bosch RA1150 Centering Cone 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.
Note: If a templet guide seems loose, repeat steps 2- 5 after adding the rubber

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. 21).
