Scott, No worries, you did misunderstand what I was saying. We all look for the best values we can find. I will speak to Rick about the price of the guide bushings and see if there is any leeway in pricing. The fact that there is competition selling for less may cause him to lower the prices. You understand the quality and value of Oak Park merchandise since you own some. Please remember that these postings are read by many people who are not members and who do not comment on them. Often times they will never have seen "the Router Workshop" on PBS or www.thewoodworkingchannel.com
This is the reason I brought up what I call the added value of products from Oak Park. For information purposes, not to disuade you from posting about lower prices. It is no secret on the forums that I use several Rousseau mounting plates in tables I have built. Many people prefer using tables with lots of T tracks for attaching accesories. It's all good, they all work. Now the question is what are you working on for your next project and will you share photos with us? The more you participate the better the forums will be. I am glad you are with us Scott.

You Buy Cheap, You Get Cheap!

T'aint that the truth. Thats why all my projects are made with scrap wood. my machines would not know how to handle good wood. (not true)..
I have purchased cheap tools thinking I was getting a deal. It never works out. I wind up with cheap looking projects.
You are right - buy cheap, you get cheap.

Guide bushings

They are all made the same way, some are brass and some are steel stock but they can only make them one way (to fit the router) and a nut to hold them in place, it's true they may not be all the same thread size but they must work....so to save money on bushing is always the best way to go.. I have about 8 sets of the brass ones and 2 sets of the steel ones and they are about the same but they all work in the router base plates....
Brass is Brass and it always will be, it just comes down to if you want to save money .. on guide bushing..
