reible, yebut, i cant do metal working
aniceone2hold, US/Oz problem makes sense. I have compounded that error. I am using a german router in england for an american jig
To cut out the middle man I now have a different question. Is there an american company who make an adaptor for festool routers to accept the porter cable guide bushes. I specifically dont want to go down the trend unibase route for my festool (and they dont do a long enough 16mm guidebush to suit the porter cable 517)

By the way your post says you cant get 40mm guide bushes for love nor money. IF you do want a 40mm guide bush do the following.
http://www.trend-usa.com/guidebushes4.html UNIBASE (it fits dozens of routers)
stay with me on this
the US trend site does not list a 40mm guide bush, but they are avaliable, see the british trend website (product code GB40 cost approx $10 US) see
http://www.trendmachinery.co.uk/library/Catalogue_Pages/PAGE135.PDF (about $10 US)
I know the 40mm guide bush fits trend unibase because I have tried it.
