PORTER-CABLEDovetail Jig, Woodworking, Mini Template Kit for Precise Alignment (4216)

Q: does it include the 4 router bits usually included with in this set

Yes, but the router bits included are for making the various dovetail and mini dovetail joints. They do not include the 1/2" and 1/4" straight bits for making the box joints, but you should have those in your shop already anyway. One other important note on case you didn't read the manual, your router needs to be able to accept both 1/2" collet and 1/4" collet bits. The bits included for the normal dovetails are 1/2" shank. If your router is a fixed 1/4 collet you might be able to buy 1/4" shank bits and use them, but cutting 1/2" joints with a 1/4" shank might make sloppy joints due to bit wobble.

Q: Can you use it with the Bosch router or do you need special accessories

The hole in theBottom of router called the plate (where the bit goes thru ) needs to be a specific size to accept the bushings that come with the PC jig. Remember your router must be able to accept 1/2 inch shank router bits, first of all, or you will only be able to make mini dovetails. Not sure on the base plate hole for the bushings size I think it is 1 3/8 inch? You can go to a big box store HD.... And measure there PC router on display and compare it to yours. Or you can get a adapter plate that is the right size for your hole pattern. Or get a small sheet of 1/4 inch plexiglass securely mount it to your router, then place a 1/8 or 1/4 inch drill bit into router and drill down into the plixaglass to locate center, then get a hole drill the correct size to accept the PC bushing.

Q: Does it contain the essential guide rings

Yes, it has the guide bushings for both the 1/4 in and 1/2 in. router bits which come with the jig. Make sure you have a router that has the same size hole in the base plate as the Porter-cable routers.

Q: What width of boards will fit in this jig, and what is the max thickness of boards that can fit in it? Will it handle 4/4 stock?

Maximum width is 12 inches. Maximum thickness is 1 1/8 inches. Yes, it will handle 4/4 stock!
