- Reviewed in Canada on July 1, 2025Verified PurchaseI am incredibly happy with this DEWALT Router Edge Guide! It's quickly become an indispensable tool in my shop.
I use it for a ton of different applications, and it performs flawlessly every time. It's been perfect for mortising door bottoms for guide tracks and also for precisely mortising pocket doors for special Emtek hardware. The accuracy and stability it provides are top-notch, making those intricate cuts so much easier and cleaner.
If you've got a DeWalt fixed base compact router and do any kind of edge work, mortising, or precise routing, you really need this guide. It's an absolute must-have!

Reviewed in Canada on October 11, 2023Verified PurchaseL’outil est très précis et facile à installer. Par contre la peinture noire des patins guide a tacher les moulures blanches que je modifiais.
- Reviewed in Canada on February 14, 2025Verified PurchaseVery good guide to cut dados or juice grooves on cutting boards.
I like the ease of install on my palm router and that it has a storage place for the screws.
Not sure about the measurement scale on it, since you would measure from the edge of the bit to the guide fence, but I guess they needed to put something on the flat, bare surface.
Very happy with this

- Reviewed in Canada on November 12, 2021Verified PurchaseI have a router and have been clamping multiple rulers and straight edges to make dados. I also have the plunger and attachments but honestly THIS is all I needed to make a straight parallel groove for the back piece of my DIY cabinets.
I am sure there are more precise tools for professionals but if you're starting out, THIS IS IT.
- Reviewed in Canada on November 17, 2023Verified PurchaseAs advertised
- Reviewed in Canada on August 10, 2019Verified PurchaseWhen it arrived I was not sure it it was actually made by DEWALT. It says "For use with DEWALT DWP611 and PORTER-CABLE 450 adn 451" the packaging is all black & white and the tool itself doesn't say DEWALT on it.
Besides my uncertainty of who makes it it is a little bit of a wobble even when it is tightened down good. The little wobble becomes bigger when it is extended all the way (with the edge guide as far from the router as it goes).
Despite my complaints it seems to be sturdy enough to guide the router for my purposes and it helps make better cuts on the edge as well as keeps a strait line in the middle of the work. It is also good for bits without a guide.
- Reviewed in Canada on June 26, 2021Verified PurchaseIt is okay. but too bulky and sharp., not very accuracy

5.0 out of 5 stars Great addition to my router
Verified PurchaseGreat piece of kit fits my fixed base as well as my plunge base. Does have just a tiny bit of slop where the two pieces come together but I’ve not noticed it being an issue.

Verified Purchasemuito pratico e bem funcional, e o mais importante ele serve na base fixa e na base de coluna, gostei da aquisição.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reasonable price and works well!
Verified PurchaseThis is used with the 20 volt DeWalt router fixed base!
It uses two screws to attach it to the base.
When done using the guide you remove the screws from the guide/router base and then screw the two screws back into their original holes on the guide!
Very simple and easy to keep track of the screws!
Easy to adjust distance and keeps its setting while you rout! Highly recommended!
