Product Description
The CMT TGA 7-Bushing Template Guide Kit is a 10-piece router accessory set designed to expand the capabilities of hand routers for a wide range of template-controlled woodworking operations. Engineered by CMT and made in Italy, this comprehensive bushing kit includes seven guide bushings in graduated outside diameters, enabling precise routing paths for dovetailing, hinge installation, stair routing, lock face routing, and general template work across hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, chipboard, laminates, and plastics. Whether you are a professional cabinetmaker or a dedicated woodworker tackling complex joinery, this template guide system gives you the flexibility to match the right bushing diameter to any template task.
Key Features
- 7 guide bushings in seven distinct outside diameters (51/64", 3/4", 5/8", 1/2", 7/16", 3/8", and 5/16") - gives you the right bushing size for virtually any template routing situation, eliminating guesswork and reducing the need for multiple separate purchases
- 10-piece kit including 7 guide bushings, 2 lock nuts, and 1 adapter - everything needed to mount and secure bushings is included in a single set, so you can get straight to work without hunting for compatible hardware
- Compatible with routers featuring a 1-3/16 in. (30mm) bore baseplate - fits most popular hand routers, making this kit a versatile addition to an existing tool collection without requiring a dedicated or specialty router
- Supports template-controlled operations including dovetailing, stair routing, hinge butt routing, lock face routing, and general template tasks - a single kit covers a broad range of joinery and installation applications, reducing the need to source task-specific tools
- Works with a wide range of compatible materials including hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, chipboard, laminates, and plastics - versatile enough for furniture making, cabinetry, flooring, and millwork applications
Why This Product
- Seven bushing diameters in one kit means you can switch between different template offsets and routing paths without purchasing individual bushings separately - ideal for shops and woodworkers who handle varied template routing jobs.
- The included adapter and two lock nuts ensure secure, rattle-free bushing installation directly to your router baseplate, helping maintain accurate, repeatable cuts when following a template.
- Compatibility with the standard 1-3/16 in. (30mm) bore baseplate found on most popular hand routers means this kit integrates with tools you likely already own, making it a practical upgrade rather than a system overhaul.
- Coverage across multiple applications - from dovetailing and stair routing to hinge butt and lock face routing - makes this a single go-to solution for template work across furniture, cabinetry, and finish carpentry projects.
