Hi Mike,
Sorry, I meant no disrespect and I certainly wasn’t trying to take money out of Oak Parks pocket.
I do think that Bob and Rick Rosendahl are genius when it comes to using the router and I have bought some of their project plans and books…but when they show me that using a simple 2x4 clamped to my router table as a fence will give the same results as a $300 custom aluminum extruded fence…and I know that I can buy a 2x4 at the store for $2, it’s a little hard for me to justify spending $100 for one from Oak Park…but I definitely would spend $10 for one autographed by Bob and Rick
Also, I had no idea that Oak Park came up with the idea and developed brass template guide bushings, and I still don’t see how a 1-1/2” OD x 1-3/8” ID guide bushing from Oak Park is going to be stronger than one from Lee Valley, but I’ll take your word for it
