Router Edge Guide for Fixed Base Compact Router (DNP618) Medium

Works well.

Works great. Holds very well. Always put the screws back in the guide. Someone borrowed mine and left the screws in the router and they vibrated loose. Almost lost them. Also the two guide feet have holes in them for adding a piece of wood. This is great as it gives you a way to increase the length of the guide. This is very helpful when routing out past the end of your material to help keep the router from "dipping" into the woo and cutting too deep. Great little addition to a great router. From what I understand it fits the Porter Cable router as well.

I was looking for some V-groove tongue-and-groove pine with a V-groove on both sides. Since I couldn't find any locally, figured I'd get the single-sided V-groove boards and route my own V-groove on the backside, so purchased this edge guide to help with that. The guide installs very easily on either the corded or cordless trim router with two machine screws (included), and no need to remove the router's base plate. The edge guide, once set to the needed width, is held securely in place...I didn't notice any slop or wobble when sliding along the length of the 100" long boards. One thing I would recommend...attach a piece of scrap wood to the face of the guides...this would help prevent the guide from turning once the leading edge of the guide passes the end of the workpiece (small gap between the leading and trailing faces of the guide). I'd recommend using a piece of MDF since the faces are fairly slick and would slide easily along the workpiece.

Fits my cordless DCW600B DEWALT router. I needed a guide for some fluted columns. Seems to function as it should.

This is used with the 20 volt DeWalt router fixed base! It uses two screws to attach it to the base. When done using the guide you remove the screws from the guide/router base and then screw the two screws back into their original holes on the guide! Very simple and easy to keep track of the screws! Easy to adjust distance and keeps its setting while you rout! Highly recommended!

Well designed and made tool that works well and is definitely worth the price. Since it's basically a required attachment, it's nice to see a reasonable price as they could get away with charging more. One con, the black on black ruler markings are hard to read, but it's not much of a con since I doubt many people use them; pretty much always better and more accurate to use a marking gauge or other tools to do the layout and then set the fence to those markings. If you have to repeat a setup, again much better to cut a block that registers the right distance between cutter and fence. One tip: buy some 3/4" UHMW tape and put it on the fence faces, being sure to wrap it around each end so the tape edge never grabs the work. For those who haven't used it, UHMW plastic is like solid teflon and will make the fence slide on the work much more easily. However that will also skew the integral fence ruler measurements by the thickness of the tape (~1/32"), so if you do use that ruler you need to take that into account.

Makes your DeWalt Palm Router into a straight line dado/groove cutting machine. It attaches with 2 screws to your DeWalt Palm Router and you are ready to go. I routed the top of my cross cutting sled for T-Tracks in about 5 minutes. Would have been quicker but I took multiple shallow passes. Yes, sawdust is a nightmare but so is not being able to rout straight clean dados. This is a basic accessory but it works so simply you will kick yourself for not buying it sooner.

I don’t usually write reviews, but after using this tool, I felt compelled to talk about it. This guide is very easy to attach to the standard base that comes with the Dewalt compact router. Once attached, it gives you the ability to route in straight lines on your material. Adjustments for depths are fast and you don’t lose much time. I have the router guide for a larger Bosch plunge router, but it was always hard to maneuver. This router guide makes it easy to keep it in place and make straight lines. Overall, you can’t go wrong with this tool.

Great piece of kit fits my fixed base as well as my plunge base. Does have just a tiny bit of slop where the two pieces come together but I’ve not noticed it being an issue.

all good

I purchased this edge guide for use with my DeWalt 20v XR compact routers fixed base for doing small dados when repairing kitchen drawers, to my surprise it also fits the plunge base for this router as well, bonus. It's very well made out of fairly thick stamped steel and fits both bases very securely with no movement whatsoever. It's very easy to attach as there is no need to remove the routers clear sub-base, it simply slides into the cut-out just above the sub-base. The adjustment is very simple and locks down very tightly without having to put too much pressure on the locking bolt. The markings are in inches and millimeters which are useful for widening dados to accommodate thicker material. All in all, it's a good standard edge guide for the DeWalt compact router. I am not sure if it is a genuine DeWalt product as there is no stamp anywhere on the product stating DeWalt. The only thing I would recommend is putting a piece of hardwood on the face of the feet to improve the stability on the edge of the workpiece. I will purchase again if needed.
