Milwaukee 49-54-0740 Routing Template Guide

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE 49-54-0740 is a lock-face routing template guide assembly designed for use with compatible routers in woodworking and carpentry applications. Built from precision-machined, rust-resistant steel, this template guide delivers consistent, repeatable accuracy across repeated passes. The assembly uses an industry-standard lock-nut design that seats into a 1-3/16 inch center hole sub-base. The guide features a 9/32 inch inner diameter, 3/8 inch outer diameter, and a 5/16 inch barrel length. It ships as a complete assembly including one lock-face routing template guide and one 44-40-0170 lock nut, ready for immediate installation.

This template guide is suited for residential and commercial carpentry work where precise router guidance is required. Typical applications include door hinge mortising, decorative inlay routing, and pattern-following work on wood surfaces. The lock-nut design simplifies swapping guides during multi-step routing operations, making it a practical addition to any router accessory kit for carpenters, cabinet makers, and finish tradespeople.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified carpenters or woodworking tradespeople. Disconnect the router from its power source before installing or removing any template guide assembly. Thread the lock nut onto the guide from the underside of the sub-base and tighten securely by hand before final snugging — avoid over-tightening, which can distort the guide collar. Verify the guide is fully seated and centered before beginning any routing pass.
