It’s important that you cut right up against the edge of the material. This will make sure that your dados, grooves, ploughs, rabbets, and profiles are perfect.
When you use a fine-adjustment control, you can change the distance from the material edge in 1/10mm steps for ultra-precise routing.
Dust extraction hoods let you get rid of a lot of dust quickly, which saves you time when you clean up.
Attaches quickly and easily with the help of thumbscrews and two steel rods that come with the router.
It’s made of cast aluminum and has fiber-reinforced plastic thumbscrews that make it easy to adjust and last for a long time.
There is a Manufacturer.
As long as you have a router with a Parallel Edge Guide, you can run the blade parallel to the edge of the material. This allows you to cut dados, flutes, grooves, ploughs, rabbets and profiles that are very precise. Fine-adjustment control allows you to set the distance from the material edge in 1/10mm increments for ultra-precise routing, so you can cut very close to the material. Dust extraction hoods allow for very efficient dust extraction, which saves time when cleaning up. The Edge Guide is made of cast aluminum and has fiber-reinforced plastic thumbscrews that make it easy to adjust and last for a long time, making it a good choice for long-term use. Attaches quickly and easily with thumbscrews and two steel rods that come with the router. Made in Germany, by the way.
When I build furniture, I use an up cut spiral bit in my router with an edge guide to cut mortises in the wood. My PC router and PC edge guide have helped me for years. It’s given me good results, but I’ve been having a hard time getting a precise setup and making small changes. My first choice was a Festool 1400 router and this edge guide. I did a lot of research before I made the switch. The difference between the Festool and the PC is like night and day, so it’s very clear. The Festool edge guide is very easy to attach to the router, set to the marks, and make very small adjustments. It is also very easy to make very small changes. I’ve used it to cut about 4 dozen mortises of different sizes, as well as to cut the space in my workbench where I’ll be able to put a vise in. People who move to Festool have to spend a lot of money, but the results are well worth it. Another thing I like is that it picks up the dust. After I made two dozen mortises, I had maybe a tablespoon of dust that the vacuum didn’t pick up, but it was all gone. Clean-up takes a lot of time.
