Review on DCT Brass Router Template Guides Bushing Set with Case - Porter-Cable Guide Bushings 5/16 to 1 inch by Joe Roberts

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The sockets were too large to fit on the Dewalt DW618 router base plates.

Jacks do not match my Dewalt DW618 router bases. Both the fixed base and the dimple of the plunge base have an inside diameter of 1.377 inches. (I suspect the true diameters are 1.375" or 1-3/8" and the sharp edges of my caliper dig into the plastic bases.) The two bushings could be forced into the skid plates by applying significant torque to the latch bracket . Ring. The major outside diameter of these bushings is 1.379 inches. The remaining sockets could not be pressed in. A random measurement on one of them showed that its major diameter was 1:386". I didn't measure the diameter of the guide bushings because the set wasn't usable for me. However, since the major outside diameters were too large and variable, it is necessary to check the outside diameters of the bushings before use.

Pros
  • Decent performance
