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 ($$$$)


A small price to pay to accomplish this task in an easily repeatable fashion.


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

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    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
