Milwaukee Router Guide [Posted on 2007-01-16]
It does what it is supposed to do. I found the micro adjustment was difficult to use and was disappointed that it didn't include some hints or instructions. The adjustment knob would benefit from some lock nut on the threads and a slide adjustment of some type but instead it has a locking bolt (not pictured) that you have to loosen every time you want to turn the micro adjustment knob. I would still purchase it if the price is good. I was concerned another brands guide would not fit my Milwaukee.

Looks Good... [Posted on 2007-05-12]
Milwaukee products are usually rugged and reliable. This edge guide could take a lesson from other manufacturers in ease of use and accuracy. I find the micro-adjustment feature to be very difficult to turn even with the bottom nut completely loose. The rails that the edge guide travels along are not connected to anything and may play a role in the micro-adjustment difficulty when they are not perfectly parallel.

This guide works and is not all of that pricey, but it could stand some improvements for which many folks are willing to pay a little extra for. I can't honestly give it 4 stars, but 3 stars is an average rating.

Must have [Posted on 2008-02-23]
This guide is fantastic. Micro fine adjusments made easy and precise.

If you are looking at this but question if it delivers, here's how it got to work for me. Once the router is over the cut mark lock the rails finger tight. Using your left hand hold the fence against the stock, with your right hand loosen the single fence nut (underneath) then using the same hand micro adjust the dial to move the router toward or away from you. Once the bit is in position lock the fence nut and the micro fine adjustment is complete.

Works, but not precision [Posted on 2008-07-02]
Works ok, but is not a precision insturment. I have seen better for the money.

For Once A Year Use Only [Posted on 2008-07-10]
Far below Milwaukee quality standards, there is nothing "heavy-duty" about this edge guide. Made in China, crudely designed, you will need to buff the threads and oil them before the mechanism will even begin to adjust smoothly. This is what you may expect from Black & Decker or Skil, but to attach this third-world accessory to the superb Milwaukee router is ridiculous. A joke at nearly $30, at least it's all metal. The only reason to buy: it will definitely fit your Milwaukee router.
