Product Description
The CMT 799.264.00 Reduction Bushing 1/4" - 1/2" is a precision-ground steel adapter designed to bridge the gap between different bearing and collet bore sizes, giving woodworkers a reliable way to mount CMT router bits and tooling accurately. Machined to tight tolerances, this bushing eliminates wobble at the bearing seat or collet interface, ensuring consistent, repeatable tool positioning during routing operations on a router or router table. Whether you are adapting a bearing bore or fitting a collet accessory, this compact steel bushing delivers the secure, wobble-free fit that precision woodworking demands.
Key Features
- Reduction bushing for bearing applications - adapts mismatched bearing and collet bore sizes so you can use a wider range of CMT router bits and tooling without purchasing additional hardware.
- Precision-ground steel construction - tight machining tolerances eliminate play and wobble at the bearing or collet mount, resulting in cleaner cuts and longer tool life.
- 1/2" outer diameter with 6.35mm (1/4") bore - steps down from a 1/2" seat to a 1/4" bore, covering one of the most common router bit shank-to-bearing size transitions.
- 25mm total length - provides sufficient engagement depth to keep the bushing securely seated without extending unnecessarily beyond the bearing or collet housing.
- Steel material - resists deformation under the rotational forces of router operation, maintaining dimensional accuracy over repeated use cycles.
Why This Product
- Bridging a 1/4" bore to a 1/2" seat is one of the most frequent size mismatches encountered when mixing bearing sizes or swapping collet accessories - this bushing solves that problem with a single, inexpensive component.
- Precision-ground steel construction means the bushing fits snugly without rocking or shifting, protecting both the bearing and the router bit shank from accelerated wear caused by an imprecise fit.
- At 25mm total length, the bushing provides enough contact area for a secure, stable mount while remaining compact enough to work within the tight clearances of standard router and router table setups.
- Designed specifically as a CMT bearing and collet accessory, this bushing integrates directly with CMT router bits and tooling, making it a straightforward, purpose-built solution rather than a generic workaround.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size does this bushing adapt between?
This bushing has a 1/2" outer diameter and a 6.35mm (1/4") bore diameter, allowing it to reduce a 1/2" bearing or collet seat down to accept a 1/4" shaft or bore.
What is the total length of this reduction bushing?
The total length of the CMT 799.264.00 bushing is 25mm, providing adequate contact depth for a secure, stable fit within the bearing or collet housing.
What material is this bushing made from, and why does it matter?
This bushing is precision-ground steel, which resists deformation under rotational forces and maintains its dimensional accuracy over many uses - helping to protect your router bits and bearings from premature wear caused by a loose or imprecise fit.
What type of tools is this bushing compatible with?
This reduction bushing is designed for use with CMT router bits and tooling and is compatible with routers and router tables that require bearing or collet bore size adaptation.
