Works ok, but is not a precision insturment. I have seen better for the money.

I have just received my router edge guide. It fits fantastic. It works as advertised. Fine adjustment is just that. You use the fine adjustment to slowly fine tune your measurements. The instructions are vague but you don’t really need a manual to figure it out. There is a third knob on the bottom that allows for the fine adjustment that moves the aluminum t guide in a shuttle. You loosen the two side knobs to get it to close to your measurement and then tighten them down. Then you loosen the bottom knob (not really pictured in the photo) and you turn the fine adjustment knob. This will allow you to dial it in to your exact measurement. It is that simple. It does what it says. I strongly disagree with the negative reviews and I am just getting started in wood working.

I’m a novice with a router so interpret what I say appropriately. The difference in quality of construction between this accessory and my Milwaukee router is pretty striking with the edge guide certainly losing on the comparison. It does work to guide the router, but the adjustment is not very precise. I end up using the micro-adjustment to fine tune the position to my marks and find the measurements on the dial unusable. On the other hand, it does guide the router and it’s simple to attach.

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 hard 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 small extra for. I can’t honestly give it 4 stars, but 3 stars is an average rating.

It does what it is supposed to do. I found the micro adjustment was hard 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 buy it if the price is excellent. I was concerned another brands guide would not fit my Milwaukee.
