Fitting a Guidebush and Adaptor to Your Router Because the router industry isn’t standardized, you may need to use an adaptor to fit your Leigh Guidebush to your router. The Leigh 711TP, 716TP, 717TP, 720TP, the patented Leigh e-Bushes (e7, e8 and e10) and the VGS 700V are all universal style two-piece template Guidebushes with threaded nuts. Many routers accept these Guidebushes directly or come with an adaptor. If your router does not accept the universal style Guidebush, Leigh has a comprehensive range of adaptors to fit a Leigh Guidebush to your router. Please check your router make and model on the Template Guidebush System Selection Chart for the correct adaptor. Why does Leigh use Guidebushes instead of bearings? Conventional Guidebushes are much more versatile than shank mounted bearings. Bearings severely limit the range of board thicknesses, joint sizes and pin and tail spacing on joinery jigs. Further, shank mounted bearings cannot provide the precise fit adjustments possible with Leigh’s patented elliptical Guidebushes. Can I use my router with Leigh jigs and attachments? Most likely. We recommend a fixed base router, from 1-1/2 to 2-1/4 HP (9-13 amps), for all dovetail and finger joint routing on the D1258(R), D3, D4, D4R, D1600 and all Super Jigs. A plunge router is recommended for Isoloc templates and is a must for the M2. Note: Some template Guidebushes have very short barrels and are not recommended for the D4R, Super Jigs and the D1600. The barrel length on Leigh template Guidebushes is .265" (just over 1/4"). Shorter barrels or barrels that are recessed in the router base may cause the router bit to come in contact with the finger bar.
