router edge guide

PC makes at least two of them. A small and large. If you tell me the diameter and spacing of the holes in your dewalt I can compare it to my PC.

hole to hole ( inside walls ) : 3.5 inches
hole diameter : ~ .44 inches

No, the PC a lot different. Sorry.

thanks anyways. i guess ill have to get the dewalt one.

You may want to check out the Router Edge Guide page on Pat Warner’s site. As a matter a fact, I would highly suggest checking out all of his site. Some really excellent router information there.

I also own the DW618 router and just today received the DeWalt edge guide (DW6913). The rods fit and everything seemed aligned. There is one significant problem, the winged bolts that are there to attach the rods to either the fixed or plunge base do not fit. The screw holes on both bases are smaller than the wing top bolts. (Both the holes and the wing top bolts appear to be metric. I have written DeWalt to see what they recommend. If I do not hear soon I will either tap the holes to make the holes bigger on the bases and then use standard size store bought bolts..

If you dont mind the price, there’s this

Their edge guide and circle jig are incredibly good tools. Some of my smarter tool buys despite the cost.

I have the Milescraft edge guide and bases (couple other of their items too). I like the guide much better than the ones that came with my routers. Much more range than the stock rods. Not too pricey either. Caught them on sale at the Blue borg.

I also have the Milescraft and works fine for me. Rocklers had it on sale for reasonable price. Just depends on the amount of money you want to part with.

I have one of Pat Warner’s edge guides for my PC 890 (as well as several of his sub-bases). It’s stiff and is smooth running over edges. I would highly recommend one. Plus he’s a great guy with personal service and the idea of supporting a small business makes it even better. Also, it’s really cool looking!

I just happened to get an email this morning from Microfence regarding a Scratch & Dent sale on the edge guides and thought I’d pass it on..
