Mike I am in the process of learning how to use bushings. Because I have a Craftsman router there isn't much info about how to hook it up. So I ordered the Milescraft kit and I am going to use that to start but my question is you mention an adapter that would allow me to use PC stuff. I want to use the brass bushings because the Milescraft stuff doesn't look very sturdy and I would like to start with the PC stuff because other stuff is available. Will the Milescraft kit let me do that? Point me in any direction I am new and need help.

Chuck, the Milescraft set is popular and I think most come with the adapter which accepts PC style guide bushings. I prefer the Woodcraft brass bushing set because all the collars are 1/4" height so you can make all your templates from 1/4" material. Other set are a mix of 1/4 & 1/2".

Hi Chuck - Actually the brass set (they make a plastic set too) is pretty substantial. The plastic ones will soften if you get too large a bit in one and don't leave enough room to clear out the swarf, DAMHIKT

Anyway, check the pics.
