Workshop: Add Guide Bushings To Your Router | Woodworking Shop Project
My Makita trim router (RT0700) doesn’t support the standard Porter Cable style guide bushings. You can buy aftermarket sub-bases that do, but for less than $10AUD, a 6mm piece of acrylic will do the trick just as well.

My brushless version of that router is probably my favourite portable tool. Mine came with a few guides, but very limited. I like the mini-fence too. Good to know there is a simple way to get more options.
As it simple, how it great. Love it
Nice video, Paul! Maybe glue 2 thin strips on the wood alongside the acrylic? That would keep it from twisting and force it to slide in a straight line only.
Great video mate, any chance you could link to the counter sink bits you mentioned, not seeing much on Aussie ebay, thanks
🤣🤣hahahahahaha🤣🤣
When you removed the protective paper from the acrylic, I saw there was more paper underneath, and in that split second thought aww $hi+
some cheeky bugger put 2 layers on, then I realised it’s bloody see through and was the paper on the other side! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Neat homemade addition, mate. 👍🏽
Instant like just for the title 😁

love the thumbnail title ref
Nicely done Paul, thanks for the info! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Nice work, I actually have made several router base plates but when I needed one that fit a bushing somehow it didn’t occur to me that I could make one for THAT, too. Nice work, very approachable project.
Thanks Paul 😊
I’ve made three so far … Always handier than the Manufacture’s.
This video is getting a like just because of the cover photo.
Which bushings do you use or recommend? The bushings that came with my rt0700 didn’t convince me…
Nice little project, thanks! 👍
Can’t you just use the 321492 ? I just can’t seem to figure out how it mounts, and there’s no video or guide that shows how it’s done.
I bought an adaptor off eBay . I have the cordless version of this tool it is fantastic .
Sweet, that’s something I have to get around to, I have the same base, such a good little router
Very smart. Thank you.
i need to do that too
subscribed off just this one video, liked the detail in explanations, keep up the good work!

Hi mate, you don’t need all the effort…there Is an adapter available : Makita 321492-3 Template Guide Adapter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007SXH78/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_IaiZDbZHTHJ8D
Top idea, a must do for me.👍
What thickness acrylic did you use please?
