I wanted to give a plug for Grizzly tools. Over the last 5 years I've replaced all my Delta and porter cable tools with Grizzly in my cabinet shop. They have good prices, quick delivery and their tech support is second to none. Most tools nowadays are made overseas so don't let that get in the way of purchasing their tools.

Sometimes the tool of the day is a good deal. Sometimes not. New tool every day.

Drill guide bushings for takedown drilling jigs. They have all kinds of bushings. You need to call them because I don't think you can order from their website.
