Straight guide
The straight guide is effectively used for straight cuts
when chamfering or grooving.
Straight guide (Type A)
Optional accessory

thumb screw (B). Insert the guide holder into the holes
in the tool base and tighten the thumb screw (A). To
adjust the distance between the router bit and the
straight guide, loosen the thumb screw (B) and turn the
fine adjusting screw. At the desired distance, tighten the
thumb screw (B) to secure the straight guide in place.

When cutting, move the tool with the straight guide flush
with the side of the workpiece.
Wider straight guide of desired dimensions may be
made by using the convenient holes in the guide to bolt
on extra pieces of wood.
When using a large diameter router bit, attach pieces
of wood to the straight guide which have a thickness of
more than 15 mm (5/8") to prevent the router bit from
striking the straight guide.

A=55 mm (2-3/16")
B=55 mm (2-3/16")
C=15 mm (5/8") or thicker
Templet guide
Optional accessory
The templet guide provides a sleeve through which the router
bit passes, allowing use of the router with templet patterns.

NOTE: The workpiece will be cut a slightly different
size from the templet. Allow for the distance (X)
between the router bit and the outside of the templet
guide. The distance (X) can be calculated by using
the following equation:
Distance (X) = (outside diameter of the templet
guide - router bit diameter) / 2
Trimmer guide
Trimming, curved cuts in veneers for furniture and the
like can be done easily with the trimmer guide. The
guide roller rides the curve and assures a fine cut.
Trimmer guide (Type A)
Optional accessory

thumb screw (B). Insert the guide holder into the holes
in the tool base and tighten the thumb screw (A). To
adjust the distance between the router bit and the

fine adjusting screw. When adjusting the guide roller up
or down, loosen the thumb screw (C). After adjusting,
tighten all the thumb screws securely.
