Comprei não tendo grandes expectativas quanto a qualidade do produto, mais me surpreendeu positivamente, quem precisar pode comprar sem medo, o material é de ótima qualidade

After reading several other comments, I was curious about what I would receive (many complains about no instructions and a difficult to use product). As I suspected, this item is so obvious to use it doesn't need instructions... but even then, there were instructions in the package. Well designed, solid tool that will make a lot of projects safer and more precise!

I was conflicted about buying this fence until I finally found a review that mentioned my specific router. The answered questions are all over the map with some being quite wrong. So I'm writing this to hopefully clear up confusion for others. This is a review of the DeWALT DW6913 Parallel Fence The item arrived on time and packaged well. The reason I bought this adjustable fence is to cut mortises on a home made jig. The router registers against a guide block using an attached fence mounted on the plunge base. Prior to, all fence adjustments were eyeball and unpredictable. One must remember that this unit is specificly built for dewalt routers. Other routers will fit and possibly this review will help others understand if this will fit their router. The instructions are very basic and only refer to installing the fence to the base. They do mention the rod sizes as 8mm and 10mm. The threads on the 8mm rods are for mounting the unit to a dewalt dw610 base. The rods do not screw together. The 10mm rods are just rods without other features. The 8mm rods measure 280mm plus the threads. The 10mm rods measure 380mm. The length of the rods could allow for some added capacity of fence depth. In the box is the fence completely assembled, the two sets of rods, a dust reducer for small vac hoses and two extra wingnuts and springs. I did some measuring to understand the adjustment. It appears the threads are M6 with a convenient tpi of 1mm. So each turn of the dial moves the fence 1mm and each mark represents 0.1mm (just shy of 0.004"). The total travel of the fence is limited to the locking slot in the aluminum bracket. This bracket mounts to the stamped sheet metal fence support at one position only. The total movement measures 15mm. There are some markings on the stamping both in mm and inches. The rods mount in two different locations and so give two different spreads between centers. The positions are on either side of their respective locking wingnuts. It appears the spreads were designed in sae because they measure 3.25" and 4.0". The dust collector can be removed. It appears it can only function if one were routing on edge. I guess it would give more control but would take much longer adjusting than just using a bit with a bearing. The fence pads can be moved apart to accommodate edge routing. The first pic show my jig setup. The second pic shows two 1/4" end mill touch offs. The lower mark was purposely off center. I ruler measured it and found it to be a bit over 5/32" off center so I moved the fence just over 4 turns (the way I calc'd it was 4.17 turns). I was pleasantly surprised to see it moved about 4.2mm and I hit the center line as close as I need it to be for making my mortises. One measurement, one adjustment is fantastic! I then move the dial one turn in the opposite direction without regard to backlash. The third pic shows this new touch off and the one that's on center. It's really hard to tell but I don't think backlash would be an issue at all. Having said that, it's always best to adjust in the same direction. All-in-all, I think this fence will do just what I want it to. It fits my Makita RT0701C and, knowing how much the fence moves per dial rev, and more importantly, that it actually moves that much, making adjustments on will be much easier and more accurate. If the rods and spreads are compatible with your base, I recommend this fence for you.
