Add Bushings to Your Router Kit

摘要

Routers are among the most versatile tools in the shop once you learn to control them, and one of the most versatile ways to gain this control is with guide bushings. These surround a router bit and provide a bearing surface that works with all kinds of shopmade templates and commercial jigs, making it easy to cut mortises, tenons, pockets for inlay, dovetails, dadoes, and sliding dovetails. More complex templates can include multiple joints, so you can rout all of the mortises in a chair or bed leg at one time.
