Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
Positives: -- Includes 8 bushings and two locknuts (for use on two routers concurrently) -- most template sets include [only] 7 bushings. -- Bushings and locknuts are all brass, so they are impervious to water/moisture -- should last a lifetime. -- If a rotating router bit (e.g., tapered dovetail bit), touches a bushing made of steel, sparks will fly, and the router bit will likely be ruined. With a brass bushing, the bit will likely survive intact. E.g., once, near the end of a day of routing doors for hinges, my template's locking ring came loose, allowing the guide to touch the spinning bit and the locking ring to rub against the router-bit lock nut. Since the guide and ring were brass, no noticeable damage to the bit or router occurred. -- Molded plastic case offers excellent protection against damage. There's no extra storage area, but none should be needed. -- Each bushing is machined from one piece of brass -- fine tool markings from a metal lathe are visible. -- This set costs less than Porter Cable's or Milwaukee's steel bushings. -- Because these bushings protrude beyond the router base by only 1/4" or so, they work fine on Leigh dovetail jigs. They should also work on any router jig for the same reason. Negatives: -- The bushings would look better if they were polished; in fact, I polished one just to see (click See Customer Images, above). On the other hand, if polished, they will probably tarnish.
