RT29 Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 I have an old Craftsman corded circular saw with a rip fence. But my Milwaukee 2730-22 6-1/2" M18 is way more convenient being cordless. Now I'm trying to find a rip fence guide for it but Milwaukee's website rip fences all state for 7-1/2, 8-1/2, and 10-1/2. I emailed Milwaukee but who knows before they respond. It is right handed vs left like some larger models so a generic one at HDepot would have the numbers upside down. So I ask you guys do anyone know if one of Milwaukee other rip fence guides will fit the 6-1/2" models before I order one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtkendall Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 The Kreg Rip-Cut should fit it, I've never used mine on anything smaller than a 7-1/4 but it is reversible for right or left hand use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT29 Posted February 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Thanks. I Only knew Kreg for pocket jigs, but I just checked out a YouTube vid on the Kreg Rip-Cut. It should be just what I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SetBuilder Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Rip guides are pretty universal. I use one from an old Makita on my Milwaukee cordless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Kreg and Bora guides DO NOT fit the m18 6 1/2" fuel saw properly had them both got rid of them both......kept the saw however best little circular saw I've ever owned...just sayin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT29 Posted March 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Kreg Rip-Cut is awesome. Milwaukee did get back to me and the part for the 6-1/2" Circular is # 49-22-1005 just in case anyone wanted to know. But it looks as if you only get 6" on the blade side. The Kreg up to 24" and is reversible seeing that the saw is blade left-side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyJ Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 I still use the one that came with my Milwaukee nicad circ saw kit. It works on the M18 circ, the 6 1/2 Fuel circ, the 7.25 1st gen Fuel circ. What that tells you is that I got some saws without one...
