    PC Router Template Guide Kit

    Just saw the Porter Cable Template Guide Kit at HD for $15. Never used them but have seen complaints about the steel guides in the kit (vs brass in most kits). But for anyone who wants a PC kit, this is about half the normal price.

    Are they steel or aluminum? I've got one but I can't remember offhand.

      I thought I saw in some of the reviews on Amazon that they are steel. Having lifted the box I would have guessed aluminum. So, I guess I really can't answer your question. Sorry.

        i have seen a number of the guides and they have all been steel or brass, I have not seen any aluminum ones. I suppose its possible, though.

        If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

          Yep, they're steel. Got one in my hand.
          They're still shiny and no rust, (an uncommon thing for steel in my shop). That got me to thinking aluminum.
