Does anyone know where I can find a guide bushing that will fit this
router? The opening in the base is 2 5/8". I am having no luck
finding one.
I bought a sign making template, that requires a bushing.
Also, is there such a thing as a collet reducer for this router -
something that would allow me to user bits smaller than 1/2".
Thanks

Freud. They sell a set of 7 beautifully turned brass ones and mine
was very cheap.

The Leigh bushing system may help you on that count

or, better yet, go to Woodworker's Supply and get both in one fell swoop

Try Google - handiest shortcut "tool" around
Just how hard have you looked?<g>

Did you get it used? Both of those came in the box with mine.
You can probably order them from a Freud repair center:
