John, Most Ryobi routers have a split arbor with a collet nut. You need to insert 3/4" of the bit's shank into the arbor for safety. This should give you 1" of depth from the end of the collet. When you subtract the 1/2" for the bushings sleeve length and allow 1/4" for cutting depth and 1/8" for the bushing thickness you should have 1/8" clearance. Is this how you are setting up?
