Review on BOSCH RA1129 Template Guide Adapter Set: Streamline Your Routing Projects with Precision by Casey Narcisse

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Maybe a good idea. Poorly executed.

This is an update. I originally gave one star. I have a Bosch router and decided to make some dovetails. I figured I'd have to buy this thing or a new router base to fit the stock rails. So I bought a few of these. It has a lever that should allow for quick changes, but instead it pushes against the router's base and doesn't move. I thought about hitting it with a hammer but decided against it. Then in the second tutorial I hit it with a hammer and now it works much better. The latch now opens, but closes just over halfway before it clicks into place, but can still be used. I have a smaller Dewalt router and changing guides is a breeze. Screw in and done. Why Bosch gives you a non-standard base and then asks you to complicate things with this weird thing. The new router base is on my list.

Pros
