I use both Dewalt and Bosch standard routers, and the Kempston 99000 10 piece bushing set works fine with them. And according to a question posed on Amazon about the set, they should work fine on the compact router too. Here's the link: Response Involving the 611 Router.
On the topic of dados, you'll really only need a straight router bit for that procedure. So no bushing should be necessary.
Hope that helps, and good luck.
Hi tim ,the brass bushings seem too last longer.
By the way tim Christmas is coming ,how about a set of bushings or router bits on the Christmas list .My lot always get me tools that I am after, go steady.
Tim,
Congrats on obtaining a router.
You’ll love it. It’s a very useful tool for wood working.
Peruse your router manual, as to what bushings and sizes are suitable for your machine.
Some router bases features a hole, that features a rabbet to facilitate a router bushing.
The rabbet allows the bushing shoulder to rest into the recess and a locking nut in placed on the threads to secure the bushing in place. Insure the nut is tight.
Several router bushings and kits are available on today’s market, available from various wood working tool suppliers.
I’d suggest obtaining a bushing kit that contains several bushings, to accommodate various router bit diameters. Personally, I prefer the router bushings, offered by Rockler. The bushing kit contains several sizes. If you get into sign making, get the recommended bushing to facilitate the router bit being used.
Long extrusions on the bushings, can be machined down to accommodate the template thickness.
Brass is a softer material to other metals, and is preferred by many---less likely to damage the router bits cutting edges.
Practice making cuts on scrap material before proceeding to the finished product.
Compared to what material(s) ?

Tim,
The plunge base has provisions for attaching a router bushing.
Dewalt offers a round base, for the fixed base router, that also has the provision for a router bushing.
This brass bushing set, offered by Rockler, will fit the Dewalt 611 bases.
Presently $30---normally $42.
Get it while supplies last.
This dust collector adaptor is a very useful accessory.
It fits your plunge base.
It'll capture better than 80% of the dust.

Tim,
I'd suggest obtaining this ''centering cone", DNP617.
It's necessary to insure the router bit is centered in the base and bushings.

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
