TEMPLET
GUIDES
The router
is equipped
with
an exclusive
quick-change
templet
guide
adapter,
which
firmly grips the guides
with a spring-loaded
ring. To insert or change
the templet
guide,
retract the templet
guide release
lever. Align
the cutaways
on the templet
guide with the
tabs
on the bottom
of the templet
guide
adapter.
Insert the templet
guide and release
the lever to grip the templet
guide
in place
(Fig. 19).
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. 20).
