Pros & Cons
Pros
Fits every base for the dewalt dw616 and dw618 fixed base, d-handle vase, and plunge base. The fence has 2 sets of rod holes the larger outside set and a smaller inner set.
The positional adjustment is positive and the microadjustment is precise. The fine tuning adjustment is a necessity for getting precise alignment. It can be a little finicky to adjust, that's my only complaint.

Price
It was a package deal with an unbeatable price.
It's too bad manufacturers won't standardize on a size and spacing, but i guess they have their reasons ($$$$)

This was on lighting deals so i hopped on it.
Shipping
Arrived on time and in good condition.
So delivered package not opened and quickly returned.
Thanks to the seller and amazon for your assistance returning this item unopened.
Packaging/appearance
The box it comes in sucks, wish they made the box reusable as this attachment is rarely used so would be good for storing it.
Competitiveness
This is way better than the guide that came with my colt router.
As an observation, the required guide rod spacing on my milwaukee routers and porter cable routers are different from that used... Read More
This is one of the better edge guides out there for the price so it is my disappointmentthat the item was originally labeled universal.
It seems to be accurate enough but there’s something about the feel of the plastic adjustment knob that makes it feel like less... Read More

I bought this unit on a whim because another reviewer said it fit a particular dewalt router supposing that it should fit them all
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Unfortunately it does not as this guide looks to be a better constructed unit with more versatility than the dewalt one
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The rod spacing on the bosch guide is 100mm and 85mm on the dewalt compact plunge base and the rod size is too big for the base as well
