As title states, I have the Dewalt DW618 router and the PC dovetail jig. I am using the miniature dovetail template that was included in the PC package.
I read in this forum and others that the guide bushings provided by Porter Cable should fit right onto my router and I'm good to go. I must be mucking something up because after installing the guide bushing and nut (hand-tightened) and bit, I turn my router on for 20 seconds. Within that 20 seconds, and not even trying to cut wood, the guide bushing becomes loose and turning around and around.
I read other threads here and the sticky notes which point to Amazon and a new base plate (I can't post the link as I'm a newbie to the forum).
Dewalt and PC web sites were not helpful. Should these 2 items work together? Do I need a sub-plate? Or am I simply not attaching the guide bushing correctly (??). Thanks.
