This review is from: Porter-Cable 42700 Edge Guide (for Models 7518, 7519, 7529, 7536, 7537, 7538, 7539 Routers) (Tools & Home Improvement)

I purchased this to use with a Porter-Cable 7539 Router, it fits perfectly, and should fit any of the listed routers perfectly as well. I had used a friend's craftsman router with the stock edge guide for it, it worked ok, but after using this one there's no comparison. This edge guide is incredibly light weight and considering how long is it is doesn't unbalance the router at all. (Admittedly I'm using a really heavy router). It's also very accurate and is easily adjustable. Even the micro adjuster works really well.

I purchased the 42700 Edge Guide for use with my PC 7535 Speedmatic. The precision I get from this tool is worth every penny.
For dados, rabbits, and flutes it works great and has expanded my routers roll in my shop. The edgeguide like all of my Porter-Cable tools has held up well to many hours of work.
