DCT Brass Router Template Guides Bushing 10-Piece Set & Black Carrying Case - Porter-Cable Guide Bushings 5/16 to 1in

May 1, 2024After reading various complaints about these imported bushing sets, I decided to try the set branded Deadwood Crafted Tools…there’s a nice Old West ambience, after all, which wouldn’t obtain were they named Cprmoibk or some other classy Amazon moniker that rolls so easily off the tongue. These might have been the bushings Marshal Dillon preferred when routing patterns for Miss Kitty. (Festus cranked the dynamo for Matt, of course.) This set is labeled Taiwan, which might mean something in light of their quality.They all fit extremely well in my Bosch adapter, and are totally consistent: none loose, none too tight to install. The knurled lock rings spin onto the threads like a Benchcrafted leg vise. (Must post a YT video of it spinning! Must be part of the “in” crowd!)Bushing outer diameters are all 0.001 inch smaller than spec, except the 1/2”, which is a whopping 0.002” small. Inside diameters, which don’t matter, are 0.004” off. Big deal.I’m extremely pleased. My hat is off to the nineteenth-century CNC machinists of Old Deadwood.

very good product

As described

This product is very well made, the machining is high quality. However, the bushing itself is 1/4" and is too tall for my 14 degree dovetail cutter. I cannot get to the proper depth of the cutter without interference. My old bushing is 3/16" and works fine.

A really good set

Precision is the name of the game with this set. They are used to guide your router in and around templates to make an absolutely professional, clean looking final product. Why did I not know about these sooner? A must have.

Fits my dewalt router like the add claimed it would and they seem to be made of quality material. Haven’t used them yet but I’m sure they’ll be fine.

I have a hobby wood shop and these bushings are easy to install and the treads are smooth and fit perfect.
