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. 27). 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.

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

For complete instructions on installation and operation, please refer to the instructions which are included with this accessory.

USE IN ROUTER TABLE

Your router can also be used in a router table. The RA1161 fixed base is designed to allow easy depth adjustment in a table. The RA1162 "D" D-Handle base will not fit in most router tables.

! CAUTION

The RA1166 Plunge Base is

 

not recommended for use

 

in a router table. Damage to plunge router base may occur.

To eliminate the hassle of installing your router’s own base on the router table and later having to convert it back for non-table use, Bosch offers the optional RA1165 Undertable Router Base (Fig. 28). The RA1165 base is designed to be permanently attached your router table, leaving your other router bases ready for non-table use. The motor can be quickly moved from base to base — without any tools!
