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 screws to fasten the guide (Fig. 22). 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

The deluxe router guide includes a dust extraction hood and the VAC002 vacuum hose adapter.

TEMPLET GUIDES

This router can also be used with the optional Bosch-exclusive quick-change templet guide system, which firmly grips the guides with a spring-loaded ring. Unlike conventional threaded templet guides, there is no threaded ring that can come loose while routing.

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. 24).
