TEMPLET GUIDES
The router is equipped with an exclusive
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. 18).

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. 19). 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.
