jtkendall Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Does anyone know of an edge guide that works with the Milwaukee 5616 router? It appears Milwaukee had an edge guide for their routers at one point, but it appears to be discontinued. I've seen some shop made options but I'd rather have a manufacturer created solution if available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khariV Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 The MPower CRB7 is supposed to fit with a few minor modifications. It has lots of different attachments available in addition to the edge guide. I've got one on my Bosch and it works really well.

BMack37 Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 You could always get the Milescraft circle cutter, it comes with an edge guide and adds additional functionality of circle cutting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtkendall Posted February 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 I looked around and I think what I’m going to try is some D-profile rotary shafts from McMaster and attempt to build my own. This way i don’t have to modify my plunge base and I can make it for about $20. I wanted to avoid making an edge guide because I had only ever seen plywood versions which work but take more effort to setup because of wing nuts or were limited to a certain distance.
