Firstly, my apologies if I have broken any rules here, I tried looking for an answer to my query on the this forum with no luck.
I am looking for a bushing guide or template guide for a Milwaukee M18 trim router. Hare and Forbes have nothing, and neither do Carbatec. Timbercon do have a set but cannot tell me if they are suitable for for the M18. I did find a set on the Milwaukee web site in the US but Sydney Tools who are the agent for Milwaukee cannot help me, as they know nothing about it.
Can anyone point me in the right right direction, please?
Thanks.

Have a look at this YouTube video at the 19:00 minute mark - [REVIEW] Milwaukee M18 FUEL Brushless Compact Router 2723-20 - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNbLyG5bOCE)
Did your router come with that base? If so you can fit any standard Porter Cable style guide bushing.

I assume your M18 milwaukee router came with the larger diameter base? If so, this set should work https://www.timbecon.com.au/milescraft-imperial-router-template-guide-set
The set states "Compatible only with router sub-bases with a 1-3/16″ (30.2mm) centre hole diameter"
Might just be worth measuring your base hole size and confirm it is the same.
