Shop Fox D3117 Brass Guide Bushing Set

This appears to be a very good set of guide bushings at a very good price. They fit both my Porter Cable bases and my Jessem router lift. It is a nice little case that fits well in my router table cabinet as well. Would buy again if needed and would recommend them to a friend.

This is a very nice set of router bushings. I have a Dewalt Router, they fit on the router base just fine and they work exactly as expected. The brass bushings look and feel well made, and the included case is nice as well. Overall exactly what I was looking for and I have no complaints.

This set works well. I have used it a fair amount with two brands of routers that accept the standard Porter-Cable router guides. Perfect fit.Pros:- Brass. (Better than steel. Chipped a bit once on a loose steel PC guide!)- Good selection of sizes.- Two lock nuts.- Nice case.- Fits thin template material (1/4" and thinner).- Threads clean and sharp.Cons:- Surfaces obviously machined, but only a fair finish. Could use some polishing.- Bushing outside diameter oversize. May jam in commercial templates.The oversize bushings could be a problem with some commercial templates. Here are the measurements from the set I received: 5/16 +0.002, 3/8 +0, 7/16 +0, 1/2 +0.002, 5/8 +0.008, 3/4 +0.005, 51/64 +0.002, 1 +0.002. Most of the time, with shop-made templates, a few thousandths oversize is no problem. But with something critical, like a dovetail template, 8 thousandths could cause some problems. And that 5/8 bit is the most frequently used. On mine, about 5 minutes work with a ribbon of emery cloth brought it down to size.If you damage a bushing, Woodcraft sells individual replacement bushings that are an exact match for this set. At a higher price, Whiteside sells beautiful USA-made precision bushings with a centering guide for those critical applications.

This is a nice set at an affordable price. The fit and finish are not diamond quality but the fit is tight and the finish OK. The knurling on the rings is very sharp so it is easy to get a good grip with your fingers.

the diameter of the bases where they fit into the router base seems to be a little small on these. I tested on my bosch 1617 and porter cable 690 and had the same result. I had to add some metal tape to the rims to make these stay properly centered.

Very nice set of Guide Bushings with a convenient case to keep them all in place. They have worked very well in my Skil router when used with the correct Skil RAS140 Guide Adapter. Worth the money.

I bought these to use with my Porter Cable 5116 dovetail jig. In the case of my jig, it uses a 5/8 bushing for half-blind dovetails. More to the point, the 5/8 Porter Cable bushing is an absolute industry standard. This Shop Fox kit is essentially a box full of Porter Cable style bushings.The irony here, is that the Shop Fox bushing is unusable in the very type of jig they were designed for. The outside diameter of the bushing is too wide by a very small amount, i.e. it jams in between the fingers on the jig rather than sliding in and out easily with a very small amount of clearance. I want to like these bushings, but I have to stick with the steel PC bushing.These bushings appear to be nicely machined, unfortunately they are out of tolerance and completely unusable.

The router base plate guide bushings are nice and the price is good. Only problem I had was with the plastic case. One of the two latches would not close because of a fault that must have happened in the mold. I have trimmed it back as far as possible with no luck.

Works as expected and saved money!

Bought for my Bosch palm router. Works perfectly with the plate for my router and for what I needed. Great price compared to other similar products.
