well i needed to make a 1/4" dado the right depth after the dado blade seemed to have it own ideas of what to do.. so i grabbed the trim router and decided to make it right but the bushing was to long to make the cutter do its job.

so i took and thought:huh::huh:. how i was gonna make this bushing thiner.. without having it go to the grinder which wouldnt do a very precise job of it and it could go bad quick, not alot to hang on to...:huh::huh: then i came up with a brilliant idea for me anyways..

i just took a piece of some 1/8" hmv plastic and made it a fit snug on the bushing and i was off to the races again alittle touch up with the chisel and i am done..Sometimes the best solutions are right in frt of us if we just look and dont make the wall to thick so we cant see threw it:thumb::thumb:
