That doesn't sound nearly as dumb to me now as the first time it went
by. Who says I can't make my own bushing-guide?! Other suggestions
on materials (to hammer into a piece of wood)? I don't think EMT
flexes much...lol I could stick in a few wedges to hold it in place.

You're thinking in a good direction Bill. I have not given this idea any
thought - and I probably won't... but your thinking is in the right
direction. Whether it is worth the effort compared to what a set of guide
bushings would cost you at Harbor Freight is another question. But then
again, some times, some things are just fun to do whether they are
economically feasible or not. Whatever you do - if you make your own - just
spend the time to ensure the stability of your "guide". A router is not a
tool that you want to suddenly take off in your hands because your guide
bushing let go.
