DW618 bushings

[scrollski]

Hello All,

I just received the DW618 combo for Christmas from my daughter. :eusa_danc
(great kid) My question is what kind of bushings can I use on this router and where can I purchase them?:help: I surfed several different sites and found several different types.:dontknow:I am not sure what type to get.
thanks,
Jim

I think the DW618 has the same base hole as the PC 690LR, 1.25 inches. Woodcraft has a set of brass bushings for $20. Mine seem to fit both DW and PC bases.

Good Luck,
Ray

I have the same combo, Jim. Great router, BTW!!!!

The DW618 uses standard Port Cable bushings. I believe I bought my set at Woodcraft awhile ago. (Brass bushing set.)

And they are on sale right now at WC, here.........

The Woodcraft ones Ray and Wayne suggest are the best, IMHO. Some other brands have protrusions with varying lengths, which will be a PITA with some templates.

Thanks for the quick response guys. I just ordered them. Free shippping so it came to $21 and change.
