I was given a Black and decker router and a router guide (76-234). I would love to figure out how to use the guide but cannot find the manual. Does anyone know where one can find this manual in pdf format? Thanks in advance.
How to go! That's about all the information on the web except for downloading the PDF stuff to download the manual. I don't trust that stuff.just some information that I found: (in your YouTube searches; use "Black & Decker Deluxe Router Guide") as it appears the guide (Base Plate) itself fits all B&D Routers as well as other brands.
Thanks John, I appreciate your advice, especially in regards to practicing. I agree, youtube is our friend. Another I enjoyed looking at discussed the 10 essential bits that should be in everyone's kit. For the most part, I don't have a clue what any of the bits will do. I am replacing my countertops here in a couple weeks and will use the "flush trim bit" to give me a nice smooth edge... ready for filing/sanding. Overall, I'm fairly excited about learning some router skills.welcome to the forum, Michael.
there are a few videos on YouTube on how to use a router guide - they are basically the same.
watch a few videos and you can figure it out. what kind of projects do you like building ?
Edit: the manual will not tell you or give you lessons on how to "use" the guide. it will only show you how to attach it to the router. get some scrap wood and practice. eventually, you will figure it out and determine if it is an option for your projects.
I stopped using "attached guides" way, way long time ago. for me, they serve no purpose in my way of doing things. it is a personal choice to use it or not.
have fun and work safe !!
