Where can I find metric router bushings?

I only need 14mm size, but I am OK buying a full set if necessary.  I would prefer a USA vendor.

When I do a google search for metric bushings, it links to Amazon, but none of the listed entries are really metric.

I did find a Milescraft kit for $27.00 plus shipping, with zinc plated steel bushings and I might go with that if I can’t find anything else.

I have a CMT drilling template that I can use with 14mm centering drill, or with a plunge router with a 14mm bushing.

TSO offer both brass & stainless versions.

Other than the Festool specific ones, and assuming you mean Porter-Cable style, there aren't that many options.
Trend has them, though their presence in the US is not so great. You might be able to get them through Amazon UK? If you are willing to get that far to get them.
These bushings have always confused me though? The sizes don't seem to make a lot of sense?
Certain diameters always come in specific lengths, like they were designed for a particular purpose/jig, but it is no longer called out as such?
Seems like most of the sets you see are like that?  I always turn mine down on the lathe, to get them to just under 1/4" in length, since that is what I use for templates.

I only have a few metric ones. They are all OF1010 specific, since I use the more universal ones on the OF1400.
I would like to get ahold of some myself, especially since Woodpeckers has made getting metric diameter router bits easier.

Get 14 mm OD bronze bushing (those are easy to find), drill/ream it to 1/2" ID and slip/glue over 1/2" router bushing of your choice.

Yes, modifying is always an option. Probably not the way to go for a whole set, but for one specific size, sure.
Some of them have quite a bit of wall thickness and could be turned to a metric undersize of the original.
Going upward presents more of a challenge, if you are trying to keep the cutter diameter close to the OD, but possible otherwise.

+1 for the bronze/brass ones! I had the steel set first and hated it, just felt and sounded tinny in use. The brass are a joy though.

I’ve bought from Amazon.de (Germany) in the past using my regular Amazon account.  Prime does not work however.  But the shipping charges were modest.  Clearly not as convenient as a domestic vendor. 

TSO has stainless steel versions, but at over $100.00 for the set, it does not suit my budget. 

I have used Amazon in Spain, Germany, and Australia.  Actually, I ordered from Germany and it shipped from Spain.  The German site is easier to use as it has a translation setting.  I could not find a similar setting for the site in Spain.

Thanks for the replies.
