Template Bushes for DW621?

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 can
use standard Porter Cable type template bushings of any size. I use
them and they fit and work well.

Yes,

The US website seems to indicate this but here in New Zealand the box
contained a bushing which fits the two baseplate holes. So I've got one
size only!! Maybe I can source the adapter part from DeWalt.

Thanks

Freud's FT2020 template guide set works great
