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).

Also available as an optional accessory is an

with the Bosch quick-release system.
ROUTER DUST COLLECTION
There are three optional dust extraction hood
accessories. Each dust extraction hood is
sized to accept 35ram vacuum hoses. Each
accessory pack includes the VAC002
adapter that will connect the hood to 1-1/4"
and 1-1/2" vacuum hoses. An adapter to
connect the hood to 2-1/2" hoses is also
available separately.
ROUTER DUST COLLECTION FOR
PLUNGE BASE
This dust extraction hood is designed for use
the plunge base (RAl166) when routing is
done in the middle of the workpiece, such as
when creating slots or routing patterns for
inlays. If you have a shop vacuum system,
you can attach the dust extraction hood for
improved visibility, accuracy and utility,
particularly in freehand routing.
To attach, position as shown and secure
adapter to base with the thumbscrews
provided (Fig. 21).
