Features: A little too cheap for me [Posted on 2000-10-12]
Yes its an edge guide, but geese PC couldn't you have made this a little nicer than you did? This guide works, but the casting is so rough ( and flimsy ) that it makes it hard to run the router smoothly along your work's edge. It really is that bad. Compared to the BOSCH edge guide the PC is marginal at best. I modified mine with a phenolic ( polyethelene ) material cut to the same size as the guides, and used 3M double sided structural tape between the phenolic " glides " and the PC guides, and it works much better. Come on PC, I know you sell enough of the 690 series routers and accessories to justify some improvement.
About as primitive as you can get. [Posted on 2005-11-19]
Instead of a PC product, this is more like a dirt cheap sand casting from a 3rd world country. The "machining" is just as crude to boot. For instance, the guide rods are not even parallel in both the vertical and horizontal planes. And those cheap thumbscrews need pliers to keep the thing from slipping. I like the router it goes on, but this thing is a complete waste of money.

I have used this edge guide on several projects. Despite the previous comments I have found it to work great for the intended purpose!

Good tool and good value, would buy again. Only problem is that the two screws holding guide to roter can wokd close and the guide could move while using, suggest that you check the screws each time before using
