   Don't be so hard on yourself. The post was message # 35534.2. Here is a copy:35534.2 in reply to 35534.1
   I bought the DeWalt combo kit because of the dust collection. I am not a happy camper! The quality (collet, turret, and 'fit') is not up to what I experience with my Bosch and PC routers. The dust collection works fairly well - but, not what I hoped for.I'll sell it for 50 cents on the dollar and then I'll buy a Festool to use with their guide.FrostyI'll pay for shipping. -- Continental, US

   I often use shop made base plates on my routers. I just screw a vacuum fitting to it. It gets the majority of the waste if positioned well. You just have to get used to a hose attached to the tool.

   Beat it to fit / Paint it to match

   Hammer, what's that yellow sleeve around the bearing?

   You weren't supposed to see that, Joe. I needed to reduce the depth of cut on that rabbeting bit, about 1/32", so I put a couple of wraps of tape on the bearing. I was resizing some bending forms during a build up for arched window trim. First I set the depth of the rabbeting bit to the size I needed. I also used different size bearings but they don't change in size by small increments. I cut about half way into the 3/4" MDF I was using, then used a flush cutting bit to even up the edge. I was able to reduce the size of arched forms very accurately with this method.Beat it to fit / Paint it to match

   That's what I thought it was for Hammer, reducing the bearing size. I thought that might be a bearing sleeve made just for that.
