DEWALT Universal Router Edge Guide with Dust Collection, Fine Adjustment, Vacuum Adaptor (DW6913)

I had been looking for a Router Edge Guide with Dust Collection for my Ryobi RE180PL1G plunge router for a long time. It turns out that Ryobi stopped manufacturing Router Edge Guides for their routers. After an evening of consulting with artificial intelligence, we concluded that I should try the DeWalt Router Edge Guide. And I can say that the AI ​​was right! The DeWalt Router Edge Guide fit my router perfectly. I used the internal mounting points for the 8mm steel rods. The only thing that didn't fit was the wing nut fasteners for securing the rods to the router body. The wing nuts that came with the DeWalt Router Edge Guide were slightly larger in diameter than the threads in the router body. But I found some orange ones with the correct thread, which you can see in the photos. Now my router is working at full capacity! I recommend it to Ryobi RE180PL1G owners.

Great product! Made straight cuts for several projects and made life a little easier!

This fits the Workpro Router plunge base (Amazon ID B0BTRTPZK9) by using the narrow two notches of included rods and the rods adjust very smoothly. The Micro adjust to nudge it a little way to one side or another is an amazing trait I wish more router fences had. Sadly the stamped metal fences just can't function the way a quality item like this does. This has none of the dragging or wobbling and sticking during adjustment and it is a great headache remover! Since others do not mention it, here are the specs for the narrow mounting on the rod, with the wide holes about 1/2 wider. Rod Diameter 0.312" (5/16") or 7.92mm, Distance between the two rods is 3.3" 83.82 mm Only the plunge base of the Workpro router has the rod guide channels and locking screws so if your router has a way to mount a rod based guide.

Confusing why DeWalt doesn't include instructions.It works with a number of different routers. Instructions would have made life a bit easier. Took a bit, but I figured what was what, and how to use it. As stated, this jig fits multiple routers. It fits my VR 20v compact routers plunge base fine. My router uses the smaller guide rods. Note: This jig will not fit the standard base that the VR router comes with. There is another model jig for that. Also, I'm still not sure why there is a threaded end to the smaller rods. Must be for another application. Still shaking my head why DeWalt did not include instructions. There aren't even any online. Anyway, Once I got the jig squared away it was easy to set up and use. It works well and was a good purchase.

I was conflicted about buying this fence until I finally found a review that mentioned my specific router. The answered questions are all over the map with some being quite wrong. So I'm writing this to hopefully clear up confusion for others. This is a review of the DeWALT DW6913 Parallel Fence The item arrived on time and packaged well. The reason I bought this adjustable fence is to cut mortises on a home made jig. The router registers against a guide block using an attached fence mounted on the plunge base. Prior to, all fence adjustments were eyeball and unpredictable. One must remember that this unit is specificly built for dewalt routers. Other routers will fit and possibly this review will help others understand if this will fit their router. The instructions are very basic and only refer to installing the fence to the base. They do mention the rod sizes as 8mm and 10mm. The threads on the 8mm rods are for mounting the unit to a dewalt dw610 base. The rods do not screw together. The 10mm rods are just rods without other features. The 8mm rods measure 280mm plus the threads. The 10mm rods measure 380mm. The length of the rods could allow for some added capacity of fence depth. In the box is the fence completely assembled, the two sets of rods, a dust reducer for small vac hoses and two extra wingnuts and springs. I did some measuring to understand the adjustment. It appears the threads are M6 with a convenient tpi of 1mm. So each turn of the dial moves the fence 1mm and each mark represents 0.1mm (just shy of 0.004"). The total travel of the fence is limited to the locking slot in the aluminum bracket. This bracket mounts to the stamped sheet metal fence support at one position only. The total movement measures 15mm. There are some markings on the stamping both in mm and inches. The rods mount in two different locations and so give two different spreads between centers. The positions are on either side of their respective locking wingnuts. It appears the spreads were designed in sae because they measure 3.25" and 4.0". The dust collector can be removed. It appears it can only function if one were routing on edge. I guess it would give more control but would take much longer adjusting than just using a bit with a bearing. The fence pads can be moved apart to accommodate edge routing. The first pic show my jig setup. The second pic shows two 1/4" end mill touch offs. The lower mark was purposely off center. I ruler measured it and found it to be a bit over 5/32" off center so I moved the fence just over 4 turns (the way I calc'd it was 4.17 turns). I was pleasantly surprised to see it moved about 4.2mm and I hit the center line as close as I need it to be for making my mortises. One measurement, one adjustment is fantastic! I then move the dial one turn in the opposite direction without regard to backlash. The third pic shows this new touch off and the one that's on center. It's really hard to tell but I don't think backlash would be an issue at all. Having said that, it's always best to adjust in the same direction. All-in-all, I think this fence will do just what I want it to. It fits my Makita RT0701C and, knowing how much the fence moves per dial rev, and more importantly, that it actually moves that much, making adjustments on will be much easier and more accurate. If the rods and spreads are compatible with your base, I recommend this fence for you.

Easy set up. Fits many other router models. Good price.

What you need for precise work with a standard router. Capable of working with different routers. Limited instructions. An alternative to a router table for selected works.

all good

Works perfectly with my compact router. A vast improvement on my old system

Guia muito bem acabada,útil,precisa e segura.!

After reading several other comments, I was curious about what I would receive (many complains about no instructions and a difficult to use product). As I suspected, this item is so obvious to use it doesn't need instructions... but even then, there were instructions in the package. Well designed, solid tool that will make a lot of projects safer and more precise!

Es una guía adecuada para perfilar, hacer caja para las puertas, corte y rebaje. Excelente aditamento para mi router
