Hi does anyone have the Bosch OFA 32 Kit and use it on a Festool or Makita Rail.  It looks like a nice setup.
 
Based on the pic below I would say no

This is the photo to focus on

Notice the dual slots on the plastic guide strip ?

Bosch will ride on Mafell type of Festool type rails.

No, but I do have the Makita rail guides for use with the compact router (corded or cordless) and it works on the Festool rails just fine.

Does anyone know how you set the lateral location of the hole pattern?
You simply place the rail in the proper position. You can use the same Festool attachments which are sold for the Festool LR32 plate (the numbers will not match, but you can subtract/add per measurements. Or anything else that allows to to reference the rail placement. Check Peter Millard Youtube who has a couple videos on how to save bucks on the Festool adjustable pieces by gluing a couple pieces of scrap.

My personal favorite are the parallel guides from TSO and referencing from the far edge instead. Though that is limited to stock with parallel front and back.
 
I use it on Festool/Makita rails.

In the moment I have PC 6931 base on it.

No holes lined up so I sandwiched a like 5/16” ply in between to secure to each other.

Have not done more than a few test cuts but it works for me.
 
Here's an interesting picture.  I imagine the holes for the Bosch would be around the same position on a Festool/Makita track.

Who make the one in first jig?

The Bosch in the second one is the one I have which is the version that does not have the pin installed.

That pin would sit to the right of the black knob and as far as I can tell not line up with the holes on a festool rail.

It was a picture I found, but no more information.  If you look at it close he has modified the OEM Makita Router Rail Guide by adding a pin and obviously drilling the guide rail to match.  The only thing is that it is in alignment with the anti-slip tape under the rail.
