inlay kit for Bosch 1617evs

[Christopher Kanda]

Can anyone tell me what inlay kit or adapter will work with the bosch 1617evs router.

I have the CMT kit (listed as part nos. 899.052.00 and 892.051.00) and it works very well but you need to have a router base plate that accepts a universal template guide (also called a Porter Cable style template guide) instead of the standard Bosch template guide.

thanks, i'll look for those and maybe try some inlays

The inlay router bits are a little fragile because of their small diameter. Be careful with them and they do a fine job. They are not meant to hog out a lot of materiel and won't stand up to hard knocks. Just remember they are a finesse tool. Show us some inlays!:)

I am i bit confused on the template guide. I did a search and found several things, but i'm not sure what i need. Can you give me a link to the porter cable style guide. thanks

This gives you the adapter and some other guides that my come in handy. I have the same router and I think I'll order one.
