Topic tags/keywords: router question I happened to be in the big “L” the other day looking for something else when I saw a kit for Milescraft router bushings with a router plate. I know nothing about these and was wondering if anyone had any experience with them? -- A lack of money forces you to find creative solutions to problems you wouldn't have otherwise. |

I have no personal experience, but I’d opt for the traditional metal bushing sets. The plastic construction, among other things, is a turn-off for me. The few sites that list the milescraft set include some highly variable reviews. Ridgid makes a very nice “brass” set that can be had for $30 and includes a storage case, sub-bases and centering cone. Its compatible with PC-style sub-bases and will likely be the last set of bushings you’ll ever need to buy. I like my set anyway.

mips, bushings are an alternative for beared router bits, is very simple to use them, but its difficult to explain how to use them with words, Im sure there are lots of videos at youtube that can tell you more aabout them.
