Q: What is an inlay bushing used for?
It positions the router bit to cut the recess for an inlay, while the matching template guide positions the bit to cut the plug, so both pieces come from the same template.

Choose an option to view item availability.
An inlay bushing, teamed up with the corresponding template guide, allows you to make an inlay plug and mating recess from the same template. The inlay bushing positions the bit to cut the inlay recess (or negative), and the template guide positions the bit to cut the plug (positive). The difference between the outside diameter of the inlay bushing and the template guide creates a common amount of offset to ensure a snug fit.
Our inlay bushings are made of solid brass and are sized specifically for use with the Veritas Template Guides. The 1/4" inlay bushing has a 1/2" O.D. and is for use with a 1/8" bit. It requires the 1/4" template guide. The 3/8" inlay bushing has a 7/8" O.D. and is for use with a 1/4" bit. It requires the 3/8" template guide.
Attached using a 1 3/16" threaded ring nut, sold separately.

Yes, you need the matching Veritas template guide and a 1 3/16" threaded ring nut, both available separately, to mount the bushing and complete the inlay setup.
Veritas inlay bushings come in two sizes: a 1/4" bushing for use with a 1/8" bit, and a 3/8" bushing for use with a 1/4" bit.
The difference in outside diameter between the bushing and its matching guide creates the offset that keeps the inlay plug snug in its recess; mismatched sizes leave the fit too loose or too tight.
