Customer Reviews

This is quite a fixture for your Dewalt router. I use mine on the DW-621, so I use the thinner set of rods and extra set screw knobs that come with it. It has a thicker set of rods for the 3hp routers. You rough-adjust it by sliding it on the two rods that fix to the base of your router and locking the set screw knobs. You can then "fine tune" it with the center knob and lock the set screw knob on it. The large picture above will make these explanations clear to you.
The dust collection works okay; I have a small hose adapted to my shop dust collector, but it does take some getting used to, dragging a hose around with your tool. The construction of the fixture is very heavy-duty; it should last a long time with continuous use.

I received the edge guide a few days ago and used it to complete the mortising for the hanging brackets of my daughter's bed that I recently completed. I felt that the setup was a snap and it is easy to use. Prior to using the guide I made a few practice cuts so that I could get a feel for the adjustment and accuracy of the edge guide. Given how inexpensive this edge guide is, I believe it works great and have no complaints.
