 Bushing set vs. inlay kit ?
I've not ever used a guide bushing or inlay kit with my router and have a couple of questions. First I have a 2-1/4 hp Dewalt fixed/plunge router. Im not sure if I should get the inlay kit from Whiteside for making templates or if I should get a guide bushing set instead. I know the inlay kit comes with the removable collar which i assume is to save time changing bushings. If I understand this correctly, by having a guide bushing set, cant i accomplish the same thing except I would have to change bushings, however Im not limited to the 1/8" bit that comes with the inlay kit.
Im sure there are applications where each has its own advantage, Im just trying to decide which is best for me. I wouldnt be using it for inlay work often. My first project with this would be to make an accurate hole in my router table top for an insert. This would be more along the lines of what Id use it for. Any thoughts, advice, or suggestions would be appreciated. |
