Review on πŸ“ DEWALT N275341 Depth Guide: Precision and Versatility in Tool Depth Control by Gavin Ghram

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It should come with the tool.

This is a very useful addition to Dewalt's oscillating tools. I bought it to use with a Dewalt 20V Atomic Oscillating Tool (it's awesome). I give it 3 stars instead of 4 or 5 for several reasons. The first reason is that to use it you must separately purchase a handle that holds the guide arm, guide arm and the block that secures the assembly to the tool. It ends up costing about $30. They are said to be available as a kit and priced a bit lower in my opinion. Another reason for the lower score is that, as many other reviewers have pointed out, the entire build really should go into the tool. As for using the montage, it's very useful for controlling the depth of your cuts. An example of this is the ability to make cut outs in drywall without worrying about cutting any wiring/pipework etc that may be hiding behind the wall. The only problem I had with this setup is that the vibrations are definitely making the two screws vibrate, which is a bit annoying. I might try putting a drop of blue Loctite on the screws to see if that helps. All in all I would buy it again but it could be improved a bit and should be included in an oscillating instrument or at least offered as a package including all 3 parts.
