Does anyone know where I can find a guide bushing that will fit this
router? The opening in the base is 2 5/8". I am having no luck
finding one.
I bought a sign making template, that requires a bushing.

Also, is there such a thing as a collet reducer for this router -
something that would allow me to user bits smaller than 1/2".

Thanks

The Leigh bushing system may help you on that count

or, better yet, go to Woodworker's Supply and get both in one fell swoop

Try Google - handiest shortcut "tool" around

Just how hard have you looked?g

Did you get it used? Both of those came in the box with mine.

You can probably order them from a Freud repair center:

Freud. They sell a set of 7 beautifully turned brass ones and mine
was very cheap.
