Porter-Cable template guide lock nut anchors the template guide to the router sub base so the guide stays fixed while routing patterns or joinery. This lock nut is described as required for installation of template guide to router sub base, so it serves as the critical clamping point between the guide and the router. Precision machined steel for positive locking and durability keeps the guide seated firmly, which matters when pattern cuts or mortises need repeatable accuracy. The part fits Porter-Cable template guides, so it ties directly into that system without improvised fastening. The knurled surface for easy tightening lets installers grip and secure the nut by hand, which speeds setup when changing patterns between cuts.
The description required for installation of template guide to router sub base ties this lock nut directly to the sandwiched assembly of router sub base, template guide, and nut. Because it fits Porter-Cable template guides, the nut engages the guide body threads and clamps the guide flange against the sub base opening for proper centering. The precision machined steel for positive locking and durability supports that fit so the guide does not creep under vibration, which keeps layout lines aligned with the guide bushing. The knurled surface for easy tightening lets installers snug the nut while the router is on the bench, helping keep setup quick between routing operations.
This lock nut is identified as part of a Template Guide Set under the Porter Cable Corporation brand in the Routers and Accessories class, so it slots into router-based template work common in cabinet and woodworking shops. The required for installation of template guide to router sub base detail means it is used whenever a Porter-Cable template guide is mounted for pattern routing, hinge mortising, or similar guided cuts. Because it fits Porter-Cable template guides, the nut is suited to routers using that guide standard in fixtures, jigs, and template setups. In a workflow where routers move between stations, this single lock nut secures the guide at each setup so the same guide can support different jigs without custom fastening.
The precision machined steel for positive locking and durability is central to how this nut performs during work. Machined steel threads mate predictably with the Porter-Cable template guides, which maintains clamping pressure and reduces play between the guide and router sub base. That stable connection helps the guide track patterns consistently, which matters when repeating hinge pockets, flutes, or edge details across multiple parts. The knurled surface for easy tightening also influences workflow, as the added grip allows quick hand-tightening to solid torque, so installers can swap guides or reposition setups without searching for a wrench. The fact that it is Packing & sold in: Each supports one-to-one replacement of a lost or damaged lock nut in an existing Porter-Cable template guide system, keeping the rest of the guide set usable without change.
