 Product Description: Used to guide the router via the edge of the workpiece. Customer Reviews: Rating:  Date: 2008-06-23 recommended This tool is very effective in accurately following an edge with a router freehand. I recommend is highly. Rating:  Date: 2008-05-24 Edge guide for P-C router I've used this edge quide for several projects. It's solid and adjusts smoothly. With the edge guide I had for my previous router was hard to adjust especially in small increments. This P-C edge guide adjusts smoothly with a center knob. Two knobs on the side secure the fence once it is adjusted. Rating:  Date: 2008-04-26 Nice Works great with my porter cable 690. Use for fluting, or whatever you need a edge guide for. Recommend to anyone. Rating:  Date: 2008-04-21 Asset to my Shop! Well made! Fit my Ridgid R2930 like a glove. Love the adjusting mechanism, simple but accurate. Bought and used it to create stop flutes on two fluted columns (Total of 30 flutes). Has to build a jig to attach on the opposite side of the guide to keep everything straight and tidy. I will be buying a second one to use for that purpose. Rating:  Date: 2008-03-20 Major flaw somewhere This is one of the best guides I have owned. Perhaps its unfair giving this low a rating; but, I would never use it without the router it fits on. I do a lot of normal and advanced router work. When I saw this jig and envisioned easy adjustments I ordered it right away.
I never use it.
I have several Porter-Cable routers that this guide will fit. The problem is that it mounts with the handles in the wrong orientation to the way you work. It is the routers problem.
With the guide mounted on the router the handle orientation is wrong (at least to my way of working). I have other routers and guides which present the handles in the way I usually hold them while working. I think Proter-Cable made a major design flaw which they never addressed. Beware. |
