Template Bushes for DW621?

Question

Hi,I'm a novice woodworker, I recently bought a DeWalt DW621 router. It'sseems to me to be a fine tool and I have been experimenting to see howmuch I can do with it. I've been reading Gary Rogowski's "RouterJoinery" which seems excellent.My question is this:  the router comes with one template bush which canbe attached with two screws. How is it possible to attach other sizesof bushes? I have seen sets of them for sale.I'm sure I can achieve everything I want to using bearing bits but I'mintrigued....thanksPete

You can either buy bushings that fit your router or you can buy a universal add-on baseplate with bushing set.

How easy it is to get bushings for a specific router depends on exactly what router you have.

A search of some of the tool sites like woodcraft or rockler should tell you whats available.

My DW621 (purcahsed July 1998) came with an adapter (part #326671-00)that is held in place under the baseplate by two screws.  Then you canuse standard Porter Cable type template bushings of any size.  I usethem and they fit and work well.
