Hi Ken

You have purchased a great router 3612C
Template guides are readily available from Makita outlets but do not be surprised if they should ask you why a 40mm as it took me a long time to persuade Makita to put the guide back in the box with the router 3612
The three Guides I use on a regular basis is 40 30 and 16mm

Many thanks Tom.

I love the router, excellent for hand held and table work both. I've checked their web site, shows only 2 for the model. I think I'll be making a trip to a local retail and see if I can order some bushing/guides for it. Being in the US, not sure if they'll have the 40mm but.... I can be stubborn and tell 'em get me one!!
Again, thank you.

Ken, if you get a 40 MM it will be special order. As Dewy pointed out the largest Oak Park bushing is 38.1 MM so short of the math being slightly different from Tom's it will do the job. I will check with our local parts source and see if Makita has the 40 MM available in the US. I need to visit with them anyways.

Just a slight update...
Checked their web site (Makita), there are several bushings to choose from. The 40mm isn't listed. However, the site does list other outlets that sell Makita products, so, hopefully may be able to stop in at one of those places and possibly special order it. I hope.

I think some clarification is required regarding the 40mm guide,it is NOT a necessity,use the largest one that you CAN get hold of however,having a 40mm guide will enable you to attempt all of Template Tom's projects after you purchase his DVD when it is finally released.Harry
