I love how easy it is to just snap it in, no fiddling with screws and tightening. It works wonderfully with my Bosch router. I use it with my General International Dovetail Jig. Good buy. The Bosch Template Guide Set, is a great buy. Nice heavy metal. Great case that holds all six pieces plus three extras.
I love their system. Index it once and have fun. Bosch is onto something here.
I bought these to go with a router I bought from Amazon and even though it is recommended to be used with the specific router I bought, I can't figure out how it can be used.
This set seems okay, but it utilizes 2-piece construction, so the guide can loosen or eventually separate from the base. The RA1100 adapter is available separately for about $7: Bosch RA1100 Threaded Router Template Guide AdapterFor reference, the following adapter sizes are included in this Bosch kit:RA1100:threaded template guide adapterRA1103:5/16" OD, 17/64" ID, 9/64" depthRA1105: 7/16" OD, 3/8" ID, 9/64" depthRA1109: 1/2" OD, 13/32" ID, 7/16" depthRA1113: 5/8" OD, 17/32" ID, 1/2" depthRA1115: 3/4" OD, 21/32" ID, 3/16" depthRA1121: 1-3/8" OD, 1-19/64" ID, 7/16" depth I think the most useful part of the kit is the RA1100 adapter, which can be used to install Porter-Cable (PC) style threaded template guides on the Bosch router sub-base. You can pick up PC threaded template guides just about anywhere.
Nice idea to have the quick change guides. Disappointed I am. They don't hold up to actual use. They are made of two pieces and become loose after only a couple uses.
