The threads just need to match the retaining nut. If you're turning the threads, you could turn the nut, too. Definitely 1 3/16. The collar is 1 3/8, btw.

I would like to know what the thread size is on the Porter Cable type guide bushings. It seems the OD may be nominally 1 3/16" but I've searched high and low, looked at a couple of the tutorials, googled it, etc., but nowhere have I found anything that says what the threads actually are, eg., 1 3/16" x 20 tpi.
These things are not spendy, but I'd have to order them as no local hardware store that I've gone to has them. I CAN make them and I have brass stock of appropriate size, that is, if I knew what the thread size is. I could make something up and just go with it, but it would be nice to make them compatible if possible.
Thanks,

Not quite. I have those in both imperial and metric.one of these will tell you all you need to know...

Certainly true, but it would take a minimum of three days to receive them. Once I have the information I need (which I now have), I can make a set in an hour or so.The sets aren't that expensive and they will deliver to your door....snip...
Yes, 20 tpi looks like it. That is all that I needed to know. Thanks....snip...

Nice to have that ability and skill set.Not quite. I have those in both imperial and metric.

What I don't have, but need, is a guide bushing on which to use them on... Takes two to tango, no?

Yes, thanks, it is. It has served me very well over the years.Nice to have that ability and skill set.
You can drill a couple of holes through the flange to use a spanner while holding the knurled nut with a pair of Channellock pliars.Interesting. I've never had a problem with the nut loosening. The problem I do have is getting the [email protected]#n nut off. Collet clearance can be an issue with some routers but not with my DW618 that use these days for that kind of routing.
