There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Moving this side to side this was not staying aligned at first, so I attached a straight piece to the black edge guide to give it more surface area and make it more solid. The bulk/weight of the unit can be counter productive in smooth movements in this regard given the small surface area of the edge guide, but since it comes with holes already I think you're not supposed to use it as is to begin with. Though after attaching a straight piece to the black edge guide I discovered that the edge guide while stiff laterally can be easily bent vertically. This is unfortunate, since the rest of the unit is rather solid. Though the bending issue is avoidable by simply not resting the router on top of the edge guide.
There are several cons with this guide, as well. It is bigger and heavier than most guides, and more expensive, as well. Using it requires more operations to put it together and set up. It does not easily store on or in a workbench. With those limitations in mind, I still rate it as very good and recommend it to any serious woodworker.
Overall this tool is great for certain applications, especially any work you need to do in place, where a router table is not an option. It's a good design overall, and rate as a 4-star tool by me if not for the play in the attachment interface. I'd suggest potential buyers think about what they intend to use this attachment for. Personally I wish I'd saved my money for a bench-top table mount, but I can imagine others who would find this tool invaluable, especially if you do most of your routing on a jobsite instead of in a workshop.
Top reviews from other countries
I note someone commented on the tool adding to the weight of the router assembly and making it awkward to use. It certainly adds to the router's bulk but not particularly more than any other edge guide. As far as edge guides go this one is absolutely top rate.
The seller sent it promptly, it was well packed, and was delivered quickly. I highly recommend this tool if you're in the market for an edge guide.
