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?

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.

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.

Rip guides are pretty universal. I use one from an old Makita on my Milwaukee cordless

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.

We make ones like this all the time, super handy.

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…
