I have a Milwaukee 5625-20 3 1/2hp router. Milwaukee does not have an edge guide for this router but, the router base is machined for one. Are you able to find out, through your network , if there are any after-market producers for an edge guide to fit this model?

Thanks for the info but, the one you mentioned fits a bunch of the smaller routers and not the 3 1/2 hp model. Thank-you for answering

Sorry for the bad information, shame on me. Since it was the guide I received with the router I assumed it would work. The problem is that the router has always been in the router table and I never used the guide. I braved the cold, -7 here, went out to the workshop and found that the rod spacing and rods are for the smaller routers. You need 1/2" rods and rods center spacing of 5 1/8". Have you tried to contact Milwaukee?

Yes I have contacted them several times and they finally told me of several Porter Cable Guides that would work. However, I had already figured that out by the time they got back to me.
Once again, thank-you for you input, it is much appreciated.
