Router Edge Guide for Fixed Base Compact Router (DNP618), Straight Edge Guide for Quickly Attached to Router Fixed Base

Despite some reviewers comments, this fits the Dewalt DCW600B Compact Router perfectly and it's virtually identical to the OEM version for less money. It's constructed from robust sheet metal just like the OEM version.Few things to note:1) This can be used with or without the clear acrylic fixed base.2) It can be mounted with the fixed base in either orientation as it rides a few mm above the base3) When I originally installed it as removed from the package, the fence hit the base first but a little pull upward bent the fence enough to nicely clear the base. Note: I didn't have to use any significant force.4) Just like the OEM version, the fence can be mounted in two orientation. In the pictures I show both cases. In the short stroke position, fence can be used for 0" to 5" from the cutting bit. In the other orientation, it goes from 8" to 13". Note that in the first case, the smooth part of the fence can be used as is or with a secondary fence for better registration. For the second case, the curve ends of the fence faces inwards and I suspect a secondary fence is a must for smooth operation. NOTE: Using secondary fences will reduce the numbers above. So, use relatively thin stock, like 0.5" or 0.75" with counterbored screws to minimize range loss.5) This is probably true for the OEM version as well but there isn't a simple way of using this fence for anything between 5" and 8". The only way to do say 6" or 7" is to use a thick fence. Worst case would be to use it for an application requiring 5.1" distance, which will require nearly 3" thick secondary fence.

The media could not be loaded. It would be nice if the guide was wider but it does the job just fine. I provided a video to show how it looks assembled to a dewalt router with plunge base.

This router guide is pretty good - one just has to get used to using it. That is, becoming consistent holding your trim router while cutting, otherwise, you'll veer off your line . I use a DeWalt 610 router and it fits the alum. base accurately and tight. Good price and glad I have it. It comes w/ 2 screws that match the base and has an adjustable arm for depth of cuts. That all works well and it sure beats setting a straight edge to make cuts. Reasonably priced and well made.

Was looking for a router guide to install on our 20v dewalt router. This guide is perfect! Used for two different project and was delighted by the quality of the guide, ease of use, weight, and overall how it elevated abilities with the cordless router that were only available on our corded router before this purchase. Recommended guide!!

Used for the first time today. Fits my Dewalt 600 palm router perfectly. Very solid and easy to use.

Cheap construction but works ok for certain applications. Not very solid so limited use.

Easy to set up
