Router Edge Guide for Fixed Base Compact Router (DNP618), Straight Edge Guide for Quickly Attached to Router Fixed Base

I screwed a piece of wood to this fence to stop the tool from making a curved cut near the end of the material. It does function great with that small modification.

If you have a Dewalt 20v max compact router (e.g., DCW600B), then you really should have this router guide. This is indispensable for about half of my router activities. Do yourself a favor and order this so you have it when you need it, because you will need it, or you will be grumbling about how you need it but don't have it. It is probably a knock-off, but it is a solid value for the price. I have had no issues with the quality of its manufacture.

This router guide is pretty good - one just has to get used to using it. That is, becoming consistent holding your trim router while cutting, otherwise, you'll veer off your line . I use a DeWalt 610 router and it fits the alum. base accurately and tight. Good price and glad I have it. It comes w/ 2 screws that match the base and has an adjustable arm for depth of cuts. That all works well and it sure beats setting a straight edge to make cuts. Reasonably priced and well made.

Easily attached to the Dewalt Cordless Router and works as it should.

Despite some reviewers comments, this fits the Dewalt DCW600B Compact Router perfectly and it's virtually identical to the OEM version for less money. It's constructed from robust sheet metal just like the OEM version. Few things to note: 1) This can be used with or without the clear acrylic fixed base. 2) It can be mounted with the fixed base in either orientation as it rides a few mm above the base 3) When I originally installed it as removed from the package, the fence hit the base first but a little pull upward bent the fence enough to nicely clear the base. Note: I didn't have to use any significant force. 4) Just like the OEM version, the fence can be mounted in two orientation. In the pictures I show both cases. In the short stroke position, fence can be used for 0" to 5" from the cutting bit. In the other orientation, it goes from 8" to 13". Note that in the first case, the smooth part of the fence can be used as is or with a secondary fence for better registration. For the second case, the curve ends of the fence faces inwards and I suspect a secondary fence is a must for smooth operation. NOTE: Using secondary fences will reduce the numbers above. So, use relatively thin stock, like 0.5" or 0.75" with counterbored screws to minimize range loss. 5) This is probably true for the OEM version as well but there isn't a simple way of using this fence for anything between 5" and 8". The only way to do say 6" or 7" is to use a thick fence. Worst case would be to use it for an application requiring 5.1" distance, which will require nearly 3" thick secondary fence.

When I opened the box I thought it looked pretty weak .. but it works good. And that’s all I needed.

It fits my new Dewalt DCW600 nicely... However the paint finish is rough and there's 2 big gouges in the paint. Also, one of the mounting screws is missing. See photos.

Since I don't have a table saw to cut dadoes for my drawer box bottoms, I needed a convenient way to cut the dadoes with my palm router. The router edge guide DNP618 fit that need. It's very easy to install, use, and with the 7/32 straight bit, The dadoes came out perfect. I highly recommend this product.

Works just like it should

Very easy to set up and use Exactly what I needed to properly complete a job
