You would use either the top mounted Bearings (flush trim bit) or the guide bushing, not both. When you use the flush trim bit, you would attach the template to your piece and set the bearing where the cutter is slightly above the work piece and into the template. When using the flush trim bit you make your template exactly the size and shape you want your piece to be.
When using the bushings, your piece will be larger than your template, you must remenber that their is a distance from the template to the cutter edge. you must determine the distance from the bit to the template and make your template accordingly. Keep in mind that you must always use the same size bushing and bit, if you change either you will change the size of your piece.
the flush trim bit is much easier to use for duplicating parts.
As far as the size of the bit, definately the larger the diameter of the bit the faster the bit will be moving, but a 1/2" bit is sufficient. I would also reccomend if possible use a 1/2" shank bit "if you can" and buy a quality bit.

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…

Several months ago, I purchased the Kreg K4MS so that I could build the Lego Table as outlined on the companion "buildsomething" web site which exclusively uses pocket hole construction. I have considerable experience with conventional…
