5.5 Amp Compact Fixed-Base Corded Router by RIDGID (752) Do Porter Cable bushings fit this router?
Glen, thank you for your interest in the RIDGID 5.5 Amp Compact Fixed-Base Corded Router. This is a trim router and the base is not designed to accommodate bushing guides. Our larger routers will though.

I'm not sure, but my guess is that the bit bushings are pretty much standard. The busing from my Bosch Colt fits.
You need to check the specs manual on both routers to see if they are compatable
