With that big of a bit or guide I would rather use a fence or set up a pin router on my table. What in the world are you cutting?

With the 40mm guide (1 37/64ths) I sometimes use a 1.6mm cutter for the project I am working on at the time. I also use a 33mm cutter when I am designing chair legs for a table or chair. It has the advantage of routing with a greater range of cutter diameters. All in the plunge mode.

Sounds like a good idea

I see the words "pin router", and it sounds like you have one, since my question is off topic for here could you please go to:
http://www.routerforums.com/table-mounted-routing/113-any-one-using-pin-simular-pin-router-attachment.html
and tell us about it?????

OK now we can get back to the subject at hand.

A few days ago there was a table on using guide bushings with router bits and what distance you need from the pattern. I tried to copy it and couldn't. I do not know why and now I can not find it again on router form. Will someone tell me where it is?
Thank you Walter

I have never found a good reason for having a table to do the calculations I simply find out what I need and insert the required guide and cutter. I work it out at the source. I suppose a table would be of interest to those starting out with template guides.

Learn how to use the guides and you will increase your router's potential by 50%

Sorry I did answer this posting before now please forgive me.

I was preparing some legs for a number of chairs and the reason why I used a 40mm Guide was I was routing with a 33mm cutter that required the necessary clearance. The cutter could not be used with any smaller guide that I had at the time (and still do not have) see pics of legs

I often use the router bush that came with the router which is 30mm.
I also use a 16mm (5/8") and a 11mm (7/16") that came with my dovetail jig.
I usually use the bushes when routing to jigs I have made from MDF.

What type of project would you use the guides for? Have you used the 40mm Guide?
