Universal Edge Guide with Dust Collection

Fits Ryboi Router. Some woodworkers would call this a parallel fence. This DeWalt model fits very well onto my Ryobi RE180PL1 router. Ryobi no longer makes a fence which directly works with this router. The two rods fit perfectly into corresponding holes in the router base, which are 84± mm apart. To secure the rods in the Ryobi router, you will need to purchase two pan-head machine screws, M5x0.80. See Home Depot SKU 199870, for example. This DeWalt parallel fence comes with two screws, size M6x1.00, with springs and plastic thumbwheels. I presume they fit in a DeWalt router. I used those springs with the M5x0.80 pan-head screws; I recommend this because the router's vibration will surely loosen the screw with use. So if you have a Ryobi RE180PL series router this DeWalt tool will likely work for you.

Purchase this on line received the next day . The thumb screw that hold rod in place was so tight that I had to use a plier to back off to remove the rod . I back off both thumb screws until it stop ,try to install the larger rod it wouldn’t fit because thumb did back off far enough. It looks like Dewalt sent a defected guide someone returned or poor quality control that should of been check .

I bought this to use with my DEWALT DWP611PK router. This edge guide looked much more skookum than the one specifically made for my model router. It sets up and works fine once you get used to the adjustments. Dust collection is so so with a large shop vac but I plan to get a hose for my dust collection system before I comment further on that. Seems like it will last and if I buy the larger sized DeWalt, this will work on that one too. (yes, I know I dont need the edge guide for the bit that is currently in the router. I made the base change to show the edge guide in the plunge base.)

This DEWALT Model 6913 Universal Edge Guide with Dust Collection is a very nice addition to my DEWALT 618 router. This edge guide will allow me right at 6.5 inches depth of routing which in my opinion is outstanding for a lot of my woodworking projects. It's very easy to install and also easy to adjust. The way this guide was designed, with the Inch and Millimeters etched on the adjustment knob makes it very easy to fine tune to get the exact resualt you demand in your project. This guide is listed as a "Universal Edge Guide". While that statement ma be a little of an exaggeration it does come with two different sized rods and it also has two sets of holes for the rods so it could in theory fit many different routers. In fact in my case it fits my other router, a RE180PL1G Ryobi Plunge Base router. For me this guide is a TWO for the price of ONE deal. To use this guide on my RE180PL1G I have on rod on the outside hole and one on the inside hole. Works PERFECT!

DeWalt hit a home run on this DW6913 Edge Guide. It's light, sturdy, adjustable where it needs to be, and rigid where it must be. The web site calls it a “Universal” edge guide, but that may be just in the DeWalt universe – it won't fit any of my Porter Cable 690 bases (plunge, Fixed, D-Handle). I used it on my DW 621 router with terrific results. Other DeWalt routers use different diameter rods spaced further apart, but the kit comes with the extra rods and allows for different spacing. With the rods properly placed I can route as far as 6.5” from the board's edge. Scales for Inches and Millimeters are etched into the base, somewhat useful for relative changes, and the fine adjustment knob provides smooth changes. Though it's not clear if the numbers on the knob relate to actual distance moved, they should only be used for relative adjustment anyway. There was one minor issue that kept this home run inside-the-park for me. The four screws securing the fence have a dual slot/Torx 20 head. I couldn't loosen them with a slotted screw driver (who uses slotted screws anymore?) but had no problem using the Torx driver. I'm not sure how many people have a full set of Torx screw drivers though, so I would have preferred DeWalt use Phillips head screws. Still, a very minor complaint on an otherwise great router accessory.

I purchased the Universal Edge Guide with Dust Collection because it was advertised to fit with all DEWALT routers.. I have a cordless DEWALT DCW600 router, fixed base, and unless I'm doing something incorrectly, it doesn't fit this router. Can someone please email back with some help

The fence works, but it is cheaply made and clunky.

This does NOT fit the Dewalt palm router contrary to what the “questions” and answers on your website states.
