Nice Set [Posted on 2002-10-12]
Recieved my guide kit in good order. All the pieces and parts were included in the case. I have only used it once on a hope chest I constructed. Everything seems to fit and work ok. Havent had a lot of experience with this type of routing so I don't have a lot to compare to. The machining of the parts seems fine and what little I have done went very well. So far I am very satisfied with Freud products.
UPDATE..Jan. 05...Ruined the 1/4 inch guide, when the stop collar vibrated loose, allowing the guide to move. Also messed up the bit. I have used this guide set a couple of times and haven't had this problem before. I found a new guide and stop collar at my local woodworker store, not very expensive. I have always hand tightend my stop collar but will use a pair of pliers from now on. Shouldn't have to but can't risk this happening again. Very scary and could have been very hazardous.

There's Gold in them hills! [Posted on 2002-12-04]
This set is great. Costs the same as Porter Cable, is as good as Porter Cable, if not better and you get the GOLD for free!

Poor Quality for Freud [Posted on 2002-12-07]
I bought my set a few years ago contempalting doing Dovetail joints. I just pulled it out to use with my PorterCable 1501 router. It would not fit my base plate. Fortunately I found my old porter-cable router that has a base fixed in one place excepted the guides. I tried the 3/8" guide and found it to be off-center or out of round. It would not fit in the router base. Probably had it to long to get it exchanged. I've bought a lot of other Freud products and have been pleased, but this one surprized me.

FT2020 Templete Guide Kit [Posted on 2007-02-07]
I received the templet guide kit today. The kit was in good order and I was able to put the guide kit to work immediately by using the 1/2" guide with a 1/4" up spiral bit on my Freud 2000e router and a shop built shelf support jig. All performed as expected to punch shelf support holes in my cabinet sides. I did take the experience of another reviewer and torqued down the adapter ring with a pair of pliers to insure a secure fit. Probably a good idea to check all fasteners on the adapter plate periodically.
I was initially put off by some of the negative reviews for the template guide kit but decided to order. I am completely satisfied with this product.

High Quality [Posted on 2007-02-07]
This is a well made set and the machining is perfect for my Freud router.
