🔧 Enhanced DEWALT Router Edge Guide for Compact Fixed Base Router (DNP618) Review

REMOVE THE 2 SMALL SCREWS ON THE TOP FIRST. INSERT THE END BETWEEN THE CLEAR BASE AND THE ALUMINUM BASE. TIGHTEN TWO BOLTS TO HOLD IN POSITION!

ATTENTION! Although this is a good and reliable guide, the part that touches the wood has a very sharp burr edge. After grinding about 80 feet of cherries, I noticed a slight scratch down the length of my pieces. It took quite a bit of sanding to remove. Like many Dewalt products lately, the design is excellent but the quality control leaves something to be desired. It's sad to see a good company get sloppy in this regard. Overall I think this is a good edge guide but make sure you file the…

This product doesn't look like it was made for a compact DeWalt router. It looks like a piece of steel that will rust in no time in a tropical country. At such a high price I would have expected a forged aluminum component. I'm going to keep track of the dimensions of this piece of shit and make an aluminum version of this because I literally can't sleep knowing I bought this junk. I was going to order a basic slide-in guide as well, but now I'm pissed off and afraid the basic slide-in guide…

This is a decent Edge Guide. I would give it a higher rating if it was still worth what I paid for it a few years ago, but now that I see the price has more than doubled I don't think it's the current price is worth. If it can be bought for $15 or less, then it's useful, but not at the current price. It's fairly accurate, but it's just a stamped sheet of metal with a thumbscrew, so it's not very stable, and not very accurate due to the possibility of bending. If you only use it occasionally…

Even if the router has a guide, you can still miss it! The router can catch on the wood and cut too deep towards the fence. To fix this I put a small clamp on the other side of the router so it couldn't go over the edge of the wood. Once you start cutting the channel you can turn off the router and then attach a clamp to the other side of the router base to hold it where you want it. railing on. Without a guide it was almost impossible to be accurate and I didn't want to put extra holes in my…

Although advertised as an official Dewalt product, the packaging says otherwise. However, is it good quality and compatible with Dewalt DCW600b 20v Max XR Wireless Compact Router? This side rail attaches to the router using the two screws that come with the side rail and attaches to the side rail. The screws are stored on the edge guide when not in use to avoid losing them. Definitely a handy feature. The perfect addition to the Dewalt 20v range. As a Prime member, just like you, I rely on…

I like how durable it is. Tip to place this on a solid base (it won't attach to the dive base which makes sense) remove the sub base plate then use the two screws with this rail to attach it to the base of the router (loosely screwed on). the rail frame), then reinstall the base. It is mounted under the base plate. Since there were no instructions on how to do this (perhaps in the instructions that came with the original router kit), this puzzled me for a few minutes. Once you do that…

I reordered this item because it is the only DeWalt router edge guide that fits my router. I was able to use it for two years but when I used it again a few weeks ago the adjustable nut stopped working. It just twirled. I've tried everything including using a vise to squeeze the plastic case a little tighter hoping the adjustment would work again. Unfortunately it isn't. Making parts out of plastic (even if it's an expensive phenolic plastic, also known as molecular plastic), when that's…

I was looking for some pine with v-grooves and v-grooves on both sides. Not being able to find them locally I decided to take single sided v-groove boards and route my own v-groove on the back, so I bought this edge guide to help with that. The rail is very easy to mount on both wired and wireless routers with two mounting screws (included) and there is no need to remove the router's base plate. The edge guide adjusted to the desired width is held securely. I didn't notice any leaning or…
