Looks good, fits nicely
First of all, this definitely fits the Dewalt 20V compact cordless router.It comes with the screws to attach it. It has a scale in inches and centimetres - the scales don't have any numeric values on them at all which seems suboptimal, but offsets will vary depending on the size of the router bit in use so numbers might not actually be much help here.There are no instructions included in the box but frankly you don't need instructions to slot it onto the router and secure it with two screws. The screw that holds the slider in place works and holds it snugly in place and when the slider is set to the zero mark it looks like the guide runs more or less exactly through the middle of the collet.I haven't used this in anger as yet but initial impressions give me confidence it will do what I need of it.

Building confidence into your woodworking
This router attachment has been a game changer in my woodworking projects. It fits snugly onto my compact router and makes edge routing and trimming so much easier... no more random nicks! The adjustable edge guides are a huge help when you need precision, and I appreciate the dual scale units—it makes positioning way more accurate without the guesswork.The compatibility is great too; it worked perfectly with my DEWALT router (DWP611) and several other models, that I don't own... yet. The fit is secure, so I don’t have to worry about it shifting while I’m working, which is crucial for getting clean, consistent results.Durability-wise, this thing is built to last. It’s made from solid materials that hold up well even with regular use in the workshop. If you're looking for a versatile and sturdy router attachment that won’t let you down, this is a great addition to your toolkit!

Perfect fit for my Dewalt router
I had ordered this to go with my small Dewalt corded router. It fit perfectly on the router and gave me a good adjustable guide, rather than trying to get it fixed into a table. This guide makes it very easy to use and gives me a nice straight and clean cut on my projects. Its way better than what I was doing before, with clamping a straight edge on to the work surface, which requires a minute or two more of setup and alignment. Overall, this was a pretty great deal for me, it works well, and the cost was very reasonable. I hope that this helps.

Works Great
This edge guide is a perfect fit on a Dewalt compact router and makes routing straight lines a breeze. It is well made and easy to use, costing much less than the OEM guide. Highly recommend.

Look elseware
I have a DeWalt handheld router and wanted an edge guide. This is not it. The guide does in fact "guide" the router along the edge of the work piece, but the material and craftsmanship are not good at all. The whole thing was stamped out of a sheet and not finished any further. It is functional but not a nice grade of tool.

A perfect fit.
I own a DeWalt DWP611 with both a fixed and a plunge base. I don't have a model number for the fixed base, but the plunge base is model DNP612.This edge guide fits perfectly on both bases. I absolutely recommend using a screwdriver with a magnetic tip to put the screws in because they will need to go through a couple of holes in the plexiglass plate. The screws provided fit nicely through those holes and secure the guide to the base. And there are threaded holes in the guide to store the screws in when you are not using it.The guide itself feels nice and solid. It seems to be made of a combination of 3/32 and 1/8 inch steel and looks like it will hold up nicely for the foreseeable future.Overall, I'm reasonably impressed with the quality of the tool; especially when I consider it is currently priced at less than $17.

Ideally compatible with DW600
The media could not be loaded. It is gratifying to find an alternative low cost, at least slightly better or comparably priced, solution for a particular need. This edge guide is everything an edge guide should be with a few limitation, e.g. how far from the edge you can route a dado or profile. That is limited by the length of the arm.It didn't come with instructions on how to mount this on a router but it is rather obvious after a few seconds. As you can see in my video, how this attaches to the router was discovered to be flawlessly compatible with one of the routers in the list of routers.I really appreciate that the two screws that attach the guide have an on board storage spot. When you are finished with the guide, the screws are not at risk of getting lost. I would have liked a longer arm but I think that might be difficult to prevent the router from rocking out of line. The fence is angled front and back to make sliding along smoother but, outrigged with a longer arm, it is possible to arc off course. The scale is unnumbered since this guide is compatible with multiple brands and models, but I'd have liked it to be a couple or 3 inches longer. One thing I noted was that when set at zero, or the start of the scale, the fence is not positioned in the center of the router's spindle. That would have been nice to count on when measuring offsets.This guide is not significantly cheaper than any competitor options and I cannot find any differences, so it is still a good bargain.
