The Skil deluxe router edge guide is the perfect accessory to your Skil router. Skil routers are ideal for edging, engraving, customizing, or any other creative woodworking flourish -- and if you need to make straight or circle cuts, this edge guide will make the process super simple. With its hard plastic construction and easily adjustable design, this inexpensive guide is just the thing for almost any project. It even fits Skil jigsaws, too, for extra versatility.

This is an inexpensive tool that will get you by if you can't afford a real good one. The first thing to do is replace the cheap wing nuts with actual threaded wing nuts, and use lock washers under them. The ones included are not good enough to hold the rods tight. The vibration etc. of the router will make them slip. Once that is done, it's not a bad little tool for the price. I wouldn't pay more than $20.00 total for it.

First off I'm not a "beginner" when it comes to using a router. This edge guide is for my 1825 Skil router which is my 3rd router- I think. The edge guide is entirely made of plastic that uses two wing nuts with carriage style bolts to lock the parallel bars that mate into the router base. On my first edge guide for this router, the head of the bolts cracked thru the plastic. The same happened on the second guide when my wife attempted to use it- can't blame it on shear brute force. I'm currently waiting for a custom made one with the features I want from a local machine shop. I was also told that a Bosch edge guide will fit this model of Skil router.
Please, heed my warning and don't spend your money on this product!

I ordered this just to reach the $200 level to get the $25 discount. Upon arrival, I didn't even take it out of the package before returning. It's plastic, for starters; not even solid plastic, just a hollow shape with some cross-support webbing. The guide rods are cheaply plated and are going to rust real soon, making it hard to slide the guide for depth. The holddowns are secured with wingnut, stamped metal wingnuts, at that. I can't vouch for the usability or accuracy, having not used it at all.
I intended to replace an old Craftsman with this. Even rusty, the Craftsman is far superior, forged aluminum, threaded rods and knurled nut holddowns. I bought the Skil 1825 router about a week ago and am so far pleased, considering the price. The span on the old Craftsman wouldn't fit the span of the Skil router. I will redrill the old Craftsman base and change the spread, if possible. Otherwise, go for the Bosch edge guide at $30+. It looks like my old one.

Esta guía es muy buena para los routers skill y altamente recomendable como accesorio adicional, es muy versatil ya que permite cortes en circunferencia y rectos.
