Description of DCT Brass Router Template Guides Bushing Set with Case - Porter-Cable Guide Bushings 5/16 to 1 inch

PERFECTLY MATCHED MULTIPLES: The DCT Brass Router Template Guides Bushing 8-Piece Set & 2 BONUS Lock Nuts – Porter-Cable Guide Bushings 5/16” to 1” Inch includes a wide range of porter cable style bushing sizes designed to allow full flexibility between router bit cutter and various templates; Fits router with template guide adapter. COMMON SIZES: Standard bushings fit all routers with a 1-3/16-inch or 1-1/4-inch base plate (fits as long as the opening at the base of the router is 1-3/16-inches); Fits 1/4-inch and thinner template material; Each of the 8 guides have the following outside and inside diameters (OD/ID) – 5/16-inch OD 1/4-inch ID; 3/8-inch OD 9/32-inch ID; 7/16-inch OD 11/32-inch ID; 1/2-inch OD 13/32-inch ID; 5/8-inch OD 17/32-inch ID; 3/4-inch OD 21/32-inch ID; 51/64-inch OD 5/8-inch ID; 1-inch OD 7/8-inch ID. IMPROVED CONSTRUCTION: Constructed from solid brass to resist vibrating loose and resist water and moisture; When inferior steel bushings touch a rotating router bit (i.e. tapered dovetail bit), sparks fly and the router bit will likely be ruined; These solid brass bushings will prevent damage to the bit and the bushings themselves. EASY STORAGE: Heavy-duty 8.5” x 2” x 6.5” (21.6cm x 5.1cm x 16.5cm) plastic blow-molded carrying case for easy transportation, safe storage, and simple organization; Each compartment has a sizing label for quick identification. CONTENTS: Package includes (8) guides + (2) lock nuts + (1) carrying case for your convenience.

Jig base sizes vary

Some jigs fit my Bosch RA1100 thread jig guide and some have a base that is too wide for it. Had to put it in my drill press and filed the edge to fit. Not a big job, but just a pain.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Fits

Perfect Sockets - Power & Hand Tools

This kit used a 1/2" socket with a half inch straight drill bit to cut out the letters in the picture. Oak thickness 1.75. The spout worked great. It was very easy to install and attach to the base of my Dewalt router. Thanks very much!

Pros
  • Very Impressive
Cons
  • Negative Reprint

The guides do not fit on the adapter plate!

Review for: DCT Brass Routing Jig Grommet 8pc Set & 2 BONUS Locknuts - Porter Wire Grommets. The 2 guides supplied do not fit in the adapter plate of the template guide! You get what you pay for. Let this be a lesson for you. Why waste people's time selling products that don't work?

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Expensive

Will not fit Porter Wired Router Base.

Guess what? These don't fit. Too big for the router base. I guess that's what you get when you order cheap junk. Also, the 3/8 socket was too big for the 3/8 hole I drilled with the power drill. If you want to advertise that this set fits a specific size then make the right tolerances.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Almost OK

Too bad they don't fit on my router board (Cable Porter 42186)

I like that they are brass, that's what attracted me. It looked like they could do the job just fine, but the OD of the bushing where it fits into the milling insert pattern was about 0.007 oversize, and it didn't work. Sure I could stick them in a drill and sand the outside, but I didn't bother to get the job done. I purchased Porter Cable aluminum grommets and as you can imagine they fit perfectly.

Pros
  • Alright!
Cons
  • Availability for exchange

Is working. Exactly as advertised.

Exactly as advertised. Used in my Bosch router with Porter grommet adapter. I measured all the bushings with calipers. They are all measured correctly. Bottom diameter: 1" OD 7/8 ID nominal OD 1.0 ID. .87451/64 OD 5/8 ID nominal OD .796 ID .0.6253/4 ID 21/32 ID nominal OD 0.75 ID .6585 /8 ID 17/32 ID nominal OD 0.625ID 0.5341/2 OD 13/32 ID nominalOD 0.50ID 0.4027/16 OD 11/32 ID nominalOD 0.438ID 0.3443/8 OD 9/32 ID nominal OD 0.374 ID 0.2835/16 AD 1/4 ID nominal OD 0.313 ID 0.25

Does not fit DeWalt DWP611

The kit I received does not fit the DWP611 round fixed or submersible base. I have a suitable base for these types of bushings because the ones I bought from Woodcraft work great. The flange on these bushings (which should be nominally 1.375 inches) is oversized on all bushings and most will not fit at all, although a minority will fit very tightly. "1.3865" 1.3875 "They average 1.381" or 0.006" and some are 0.012".

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Unfashionable

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…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous
