With the information gleaned from this thread (thanks to all who contributed to it), I’m about to buy a Positioning Aid (205316) for my RTS 400 REQ.
I realise from that thread that I will need to trim the plastic and that it will tend to wear out the sandpaper in the middle. I’m OK with that.
It seems that the only real downside to using it with the RTS 400 REQ is that it doesn’t have a hard pad — to create well-defined small chamfers, for example.
So I got to wondering (finally, the question!): What’s to stop me drilling some holes in the right places in a thin piece of plywood, adding velcro and using it as a pad? Maybe with the addition of a thin piece of PU foam between it and the tool?
Anyone tried it?
