PR009 AND PR010 ROUND SUBBASES &
USE OF TEMPLET GUIDE BUSHINGS
(Available as optional accessories)
Optional large round subbases are available
separately and allow various templet guide
bushings to be used with the palm routers.
Templet guide bushings are used to guide the
router to repeated make consistent openings
and inlays using various templets (also referred
to as patterns and jigs). Templets for standard
routing applications are available commercially,
such as the Bosch hinge templet kit; and
templets for specialty applications are typically
made by users for their specific needs.
The PR009 Round Subbase accepts the Bosch
RA-Series Templet Guide Adapters.*
The PR010 Round Subbase accepts threaded
templet guide adapters
*Note: The RA1100 Adapter for Threaded
Templets allows use of conventional threaded
templet guides with the PR009 Round Subbase.
PR009 Attachment of Templet Guide and
Round Subbase (Fig. 18)
1. Remove regular subbase.
2. Insert templet guide into top of round
subbase such that the anti-rotation stops in
the subbase fit into the corresponding places
in the templet guide. (When using the
RA1100 adapter, first place the rubber O-ring
between the anti-rotation stops and the
subbase.) (Fig. 19).
3. Loosely attach round subbase using panhead
screws that come with that accessory.
4. Center the templet guide around the bit. (The
optional Bosch RA1150 Centering Cone can
be used to ensure that the templet guide is
properly centered.)
5. Tighten the panhead screws to hold the
templet guide and subbase in position.
Note: If a templet guide seems loose, repeat
steps 2- 5 after adding the rubber O-ring.
PR010 Attachment Round Subbase of
Threaded Templet Guide (Fig. 20)
1. Remove regular subbase.
2. Loosely attach round subbase using panhead
screws that come with that accessory.
3. Attach the threaded templet guide by putting
the templet guide through the bottom and
attaching the ring from the top.
4. Center the templet guide around the bit. (The
optional Bosch RA1150 Centering Cone can
be used to ensure that the templet guide is
properly centered.)
5. Tighten the panhead screws to hold the
templet guide and subbase in position.
Creating Templets
Templet patterns can be made of plywood,
hardboard, metal or even plastic. 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. 21).
