Outline and History

Good statistical understanding can be easy to learn and should be accessible to everyone. It is invaluable for informed decision making across disciplines and education levels. The software development has been led by Africa talent and is intended for a broad-multilingual audience.

R-Instat provides a front-end to R, designed to broaden the users of the software, particularly in Africa. "R is an open-source programming language and software environment for statistical computing and graphics that is supported by the R Foundation for Statistical Computing. The R language is widely used among statisticians and data miners for developing statistical software and data analysis." i--- Bosch Pst 54 Pe Manual

R’s reputation has grown incredibly in recent years. General information about R is here and it’s early history is given here. The original Instat was an easy-to-use statistics package, produced at the University of Reading, UK. It was designed to support good statistical practice and included a special menu for the analysis of historical climatic data. The ideas behind Instat have motivated the structure of the R-Instat menus and dialogues, though no line of the original code remains. Q: Can I use a U-shank blade with the Bosch PST 54 PE

R-Instat started thanks to a crowd-sourcing campaign in 2015. This 3 minute video from the original campaign outlines the need for this software. Pendulum lever (4): Located near the baseplate

Q: Can I use a U-shank blade with the Bosch PST 54 PE? A: No. The manual clearly states T-shank blades only. U-shank blades will not lock and will be ejected during use.

Q: My model says "PST 54 PE" but there is no pendulum lever. Why? A: You may have the older PST 54 (no PE). "PE" stands for Pendulum Einstellung (Pendulum Adjustment). If you lack the lever (4), you have a straight-cut only model. Do not confuse them.

Q: Is the Bosch PST 54 PE safe for cutting metal? A: Yes, up to 8mm steel plate. The manual specifies: Use a fine-tooth bi-metal blade (T118B), turn pendulum to 0, speed dial to 3-4, and apply cutting oil.

Q: Where is the serial number located for warranty/manual lookup? A: On the rating plate on the motor housing (near the power cord entry). It is a 10-digit alphanumeric code starting with "3".

Q: The manual I downloaded is in German. How do I get English? A: The official Bosch PDF is multi-lingual. Scroll past the German title page. Page 8 usually starts English, followed by French, Italian, etc.


Even with the official "i--- manual" (illustrations/schematics), users face practical issues. Here are solutions based on the PST 54 PE’s design.

  • Pendulum lever (4): Located near the baseplate.
  • Documentation

    Documentation for R-Instat’s core features, along with tutorials and guides, is available online ecampus.r-instat.org.
