A very good explanation and demonstration!! I didn't understand before watching this video and now I do thanks to you!
This is very good tutorial about this issue. Very clear and instructive. Thank you so much.
Centering the bit seems to be the mission critical key to success. Excellent tutorial. 👍
Absolutely first class. Thanks
Finally someone with a sensible explanation. Thanks.
Craig and Ben, many thanks for taking the time to do such a fine video. The explanation of how it all works and what to watch out for has given me a very good grounding to get me started in a new woodworking area.
Excellent demo. I never understood the relationship between the two guides, or the guide collar on kits. You made it very clear, and this is the first video I have seen where that is explained. Thanks!
Thanks you. Was lucky to find this video, again, to help a person in a router forum to answer his question.
Great video. Thanks mate.
Thanks for your time making this video. I never fully understand how these things work out until watching this. The centering cone must be key to ensure a perfect fit all around. I just bought a bushing guide kit today and it fits my Dewalt palm router plunged base perfectly. Will give it a try soon. Thanks again!
Excellent tutorial! thanks much!
Thank you for the video, exactly what I was looking for.
You need subtitles when the machine is running!
Love it Craig, so helpful
Thank you. Super educational 🇬🇧

Can you do a voiceover whilst using power tools. You cannot be heard over the noise.

Exactly!!!
Superb demo - thank you
Great tutorial, thank you
Thank you for this detailed demo, I was struggling with the router recently, i couldn't get a straight cut and I kept drifting. Hopefully I get to apply these soon.
Like the way you explain 🎉🎉 All videos should be like that So I suscribed
Great video. Thanks for that. I learned more from this than nearly all other content on this subject, bravo guys :) Could you mute the power tool sound though? That kills my ears and speakers lol
Brilliant I want that inlay kit how do I go about getting a set many thanks 😂👍👏
Nice video. Thanks.
With Templates and guide bushs I guess you can inlay anything
Nice one Craig, keep safe.👍
Thank you for explaining the relationship between the cutter and the 2 guides. That makes it very clear. Saves using a inlay kit with 1/8" cutter.... I am able to use 1/4" cutter with 1/2" and 1" guide bushings?
Great tip to use 5,10, 20 or 6,12, 24 cheers Paul
I learned a lot my friend Thanks a lot and wish you all the best 🥀🥀🥀
Really nice video. Thanks very much. I'm preparing to do this sort of job tomorrow and this was a great refresher. Particularly like the way you showed a fit (with the bow tie piece) that didn't quite work out perfectly the first time and needed a bit of gentle sanding. Good to see how to get the fit when first results appear disheartening.

Glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful!
In the edit, to drop the volume to 20% when initiating a power tool... is loving your audience, and my neighbours! Otherwise, a really good tutorial, thanks!
Duck? That's a sideways snowman all day
Will someone please tell Craig he is barely audible over the extractor and inaudible when the router is running - so we are missing many of his comments about salient points during the machining process. Otherwise an interesting inside into the ‘inlay’ process.
Excellent !
Excellent, I never understood the precise role of guides with a router!
Nice job and good lesson. Just don't speak while the machines are running. No one can hear you, that's what voice over is for. 😎
Greet video,. I assume the formula also works for imperial bits , correct.?
For heaven’s sake turn down the volume when you’re running the router
Tried it and still ended up with irritating gaps! The I measured the bits. Turns out a 6mm labelled bit is actually 6.52mm, 24mm router bush is 22.24mm. Tried a 4mm bit and it was oversize. Very frustrating. I’ve ordered replacements . Fingers crossed!
Rather than a 5mm bit with a 10mm and 20mm bushings, could you instead use a 5mm pattern bit with a 10mm bushing?
Graag in het Nederlands
So I guess in the imperial system. It would be 1/4 bit 1st guide 1/2 and 2nd guide 1 inch
Where do I get those bushings for the Dewalt?

He there, the bushings can be found here www.axminstertools.com/ujk-technology-stainless-steel-guide-bush-7-74mm-101860

I have that same router where did you find those bushings?

@@axminster thank you I've been looking all over for these
How do you calculate how big to make the template to end with an inlay of a certain size? Also, if your template is a plug instead of a hole, is the process different? These are confusing issues that I cannot find answers to and that are not addressed in any router inlay videos I have seen.

I’ll try to explain a simple example here. You want a plug/cutout to be a specific size. What size template do you make? Let’s assume your plug/cutout is a 75mm circle. We’re going to use the 6-12-24 sizing presented in this video. I’ll calculate both - cutout and plug - so you can see how they end up at the same result. First, you need to calculate your offsets. Cutout Offset = ( Guide Bushing - Cutter Width ) / 2 Plug Offset = ( Guide Bushing + Cutter Width ) / 2 For the cutout, we’ll use the 24mm guide bush: (24 - 6)/2 = 9 For the plug, we’ll use the 12mm guide bush: (12+6)/2 = 9 Our offset is 9mm for both. Next, let’s find our template size. Our known value is 75mm (the diameter of our plug/cutout): (Diameter + (Offset *2)) = Template 75 + (9*2) = 93 75 + 18 = 93 You need a 93mm template to produce a 75mm cutout/plug using a 6mm cutter, 12mm guide bush, and 24mm guide bush. Let’s double check our math. Creating a cutout from a 93mm template: Guide Bushing: 24mm Bit: 6mm Offset: 9mm Cutout Diameter = Template Diameter - (Offset *2 ) 75 = 93 - 18 Creating a plug from a 93mm Template: Guide Bushing: 12mm Bit: 6mm Offset: 9mm Plug Diameter = Template Diameter - (Offset *2) 75 = 93 - 18 Just remember that the cutout uses the larger guide bush and the plug uses the smaller guide bush. If you want to use a different combination of cutter and guide bush, just remember to calculate your offsets for the new combinations. Hope this helps.

It IS very interrsting thanks a lot i have 1 question i would liké to do thé same with a star i made how Can i do thé template from m'y wood Star thanks for answer and sorry if m'y english IS not so good ( i am French)

Craig recommends buying a router inlay template for the star design and a router inlay Kit that includes a 1/8” downcut solid carbide spiral bit (1/4" Shank) which we do not stock. Hope this helps :)
Od bushing sizes right?

Hello, I can confirm the sizes quoted on the guide bushes are the outer diameters. Sam Specialist Sales Advisor
Try not using that horrendous vacuum just for video demos….it is worse than the router motor! Well explained.
Here's an idea dont talk when the dust extraction or router is on as cant understand a word you said
Craig, There's no point in talking whilst the machinery is running. You might be heard in the environment of the workshop but no-one can understand a thing through your audio gear.
