Is there a way to be able to easily figure out where a cut will be by using bushings? EXAMPLE, If you were using a 3/4 bushing and a 1/4 bit,would it be around 7/8 from workpiece to end of cut. Thanks

George I think it would be the outside diameter of the bushing plus the difference in the inside diameter of bushing and the diameter of the bit. So 3/4 +( 1/4 (bit) - ___ (inside Diam of bushing) = distance

One of the template guys will let's us know if this is right or if I am full of it!

Thanks everyone. The chart is great. My question has been answered.

Thanks for the chart Bj. I have been trying to make a template and keep messing up on the measurements. Maybe I can get it right now.

There is no need to measure the inside diameter of the guide. The only concern is will the cutter fit through it ok
