• Bosh guide is not compatible!
  Hi. Based on information found in these reviews I chose instead to buy the Bosch edge guide. NOTE: The Bosch edge guide DOES NOT fit the 1810 Skil router (and its cousins, one would assume.) I know, I know. Buyer beware. I just wanted to prevent others from making the same mistake.
  The Bosch edge guide was awesome, though. From what I've read here, it puts the Skil version to shame. Too bad...

• Skil 91801 Deluxe Router Edge Guide
  This is an inexpensive tool that will get you by if you can't afford a real good one.

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... more info

• Couldn't have been made any cheaper
  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.
