BOSCH 8-Piece Router Template Guide Set RA1128

This Bosch template guide set has everything you need to mount it to a Colt router with the Bosch plunge base. I looked over the product reviews and the description, but could not figure out if this set would fit on my Colt router with the Bosch plunge base accessory. The answer is, yes it will fit and this set contains all the parts you need.. The adaptor "ring" needed to put the template guides on the plunge base is included with the set. You also get another base ring called a threaded guide which allows Porter Cable template guides to be used on the Bosch plunge base. The adaptor is a large ring with two screws attached. These screws fit on the Colt plunge router base (the holes are already there) and hold the ring on that you fit the template guides into. The guides fit onto the ring by twisting into slots on the adaptor ring. There is a large black square button of sorts on the router side of the adaptor that you pull back, and that opens the way for the guides to mount into the adaptor. After you release the black button the sliding adaptor section snaps back and the guides are firmly held. I checked the 5/8 guide against a slotted template I made for routing mortises. The Bosch guide fits exactly as my Porter Cable 5/8 guide does. Template guides expand the possible uses of a router. For example, I use them for cutting slots and mortises. To make a jig that fits the guide, pick a bit for the slot size then use the properly sized guide to mount into the adaptor base. Let's say you want to cut a 1/4 mortise. While you can choose a guide that closely fits the bit, I would pick a 5/8 guide because I could use bits larger than 1/4 and cut many sizes of slots with one jig. To make the jig base, pick a piece of wood about 14 inches long, a couple of inches wider than the router base, and that is at least as thick as the router guide is long - unless you are willing to grind down the guide's extension - and cut it in half the long direction, that is, the direction the slot must run. Then cut a 5/8 plus 1/64 piece off the base in the long direction. Cut that 5/8 part in half. Then calculate the length of the slot you need. That slot will be the length of the mortise plus the offset from the template guide to the router bit. For example, a 5/8 guide with a 1/4 bit has a 3/4 offset (3/8 x 2). Glue your base back together with the two 5/8 pieces arranged in the center so they leave a 1 3/4 slot in the jig. You now have a base with a 5/8 wide hole that's 1 3/4 long. Put center lines at the ends and the middle of the jig slot. Now mark the center of the mortise on your stock. Place the stock under your newly constructed base and put a fence on the base that will hold your stock parallel with the hole at the correct distance to center your mortise. A vice helps. Clamp the stock down to the jig centered on your layout lines. Then, put your plunge router into the slot with the guide on and cut the mortise in 1/4 inch passes. The template jig and the router guides will hold the router on line and stop it without intense effort from you. And every mortise will be the same. With a good bit and the guides you can cut a mortise much faster. Slots as well. You can also cut around templates for designs, and you can build the templates yourself. AD2

I play the classical guitar, and I was sick of my store-bought, China-made, footstools breaking, so I decided to make my own out of red oak. I already had the Bosch Router and just needed the template adapter (and it's nice to have the guide set too) to use with my newly-purchased dovetail jig that I bought just to make the footstool. Long story short...the Bosch Router Template Guide Set (I really needed the adapter for the template guides that came with the dovetail jig) worked perfectly. I was new to dovetails, but I have already made not only my own footstool but one for my uncle who also plays classic guitar. Every Bosch tool I have purchased has been really great! :-)

So easy to change out and remove for cleaning! It was my first time ever using a router and these made it an easy experience.

The product is made very well, although you should be warned that if the guide pin gets too hot it will snap off. i only had a change to use for one small project and the guide pin snapped mid project. I expected more from Bosch, but I also need to accept some user error as well. I will buy this product again, and be more mindful of it's heat issue.

Works great with my Bosch 2.25 HP router. I really like the option to use my own brass template guides. It’s so easy to swap out different sizes with the system they’ve developed.

I had no experience doing wood inlay with a router but I was able to pull it off with this product. I found it to be accurate and worked as advertised.

Works great

Unfortunately, the manual for the Bosch Colt PR20EVS router doesn't specify compatibility between these template guides and other accessories, so if you're like me you might assume that the dust adapter accessories for the plunge base PR011 were designed to be compatible with this template guide set. However, the template guide adapter in this set is flush with the top of the base, the release handle is large, and the diameter takes up all the space that it can, completely blocking access for the PR012 dust port. So, it isn't possible to use these both at the same time unless you're willing to grab your own screws and leave a huge gap between the dust port and the base. Since I wanted to be able to cut some inlays in a project that I've already moved inside my house, I really wanted to be able to use a template guide AND dust collection at the same time. Sadly I'll be returning this and 3d printing a low profile template guide adapter for regular screw-on guides instead. If you don't care about dust collection, then this is actually a pretty nice set. I just wish the manual for the router which has all of the assembly and use instructions for these various accessories mentioned that they aren't compatible with each other.

Tutto ok!

純正部品はバッチリ👌ですね。配送も予定通りでした。また、機会があれば是非お願いします。

Excelente...

For those thinking about buying them, if you own a Bosch ACE1400 they do fit the inbuilt template mount. Really useful, I have been dreading router the control cavity of the read of my latest guitar. I have a Wooden template to use with a bearing guide, but the cavity itself is now simple, just replace the bit with a straight cut and select a guide bush from the set and use the same template. This leaves a ledge for the cavity cover and a lovely neat route for the controls. Very impressed!

Bagues de copiage parfaites (c'est du Bosch, bleu en plus !), mais en système impérial... (et je ne crois pas l'avoir remarqué sur la notice avant de commander cet article). Pour ceux que ça intéresse : TOUT à fait compatible avec la défonceuse Bosch POF 1400 ACE (testé).
