BOSCH RA1054 Deluxe Router Edge Guide with Dust Extraction Hood & Vacuum Hose Adapter

Very simple, very precise
If you have the need to operate your router along the edge of a work piece making a dead straight groove, dado or even edge profile, this unit is for you. It is made from quality components in a quality manner.You can adjust the edge guide in the most minute amount possible.I purchased this to use in conjunction with my Bosch 1617, and have used it in the manners above, as well as to make circular cuts. Yes, it will even assist you in making circle cuts and profiles.This also contains fittings to use with dust collection operations to keep your work site clean as well.It installs on the router quickly and easily. Simply loosen set screws on base, insert rods into slots in base, and retighten screws/wingnuts. After that it is a matter of adjusting fence to position bit edge where desired. I would suggest starting on a scrap piece so any even microscopic adjustments, which are easily made with unit, can be made prior to routing final work piece. In the case of edge profiles, you could just as easily ‘sneak up’ on them instead.All in all this is a very well made tool that serves its intended use very well and I recommend it.

Great for portable router cuts
The Amazon price was very reasonable. Bosch nearly always makes quality tools, and this is no exception. It adjusts easily and almost flawlessly, and is made with quality parts. Directions? Mostly, I felt on my own, but because I’ve used similar items before it wasn’t bad. I do wish it came with its own storage case, because it is a little bulky just by its nature and in my shop hard to find a place to store it.

Core Functionality Works Well, Dust Collection and Circle Cutting are Likely Unnecessary Gimmicks
The Bosch edge guide attached perfectly to my 34 year old Bosch 1611EVS plunge router. The supplied lock knobs threaded into the holes in the base of the 1611EVS router with no issues, and clamped the guide securely in place for a couple of recent routing tasks that used the edge guide to establish a maximum cut width. The optionally attached dust collection port is sized to perfectly fit a Festool dust extractor hose. The attachment and removal of the dust collection port, while straightforward, is unnecessarily time consuming as two captured nuts must be removed and relocated, and the fence must be partially disassembled and reassembled. That dust collector port will likely have limited usefulness in exchange for the bulkiness that it adds to the edge guide, as the dust collector port will only collect chips when using a router to create a groove in the edge of a board, or possibly when using an edge profiling bit with or without a guide bearing. As an observation, the required guide rod spacing on my Milwaukee routers and Porter Cable routers are different from that used on the Bosch routers. In short, the core functionality of the edge guide works as expected, and the edge guide offers perfect compatibility with Bosch routers dating back to at least 1990.

It’s nicely built, but it doesn’t fit the Dewalt DNP612.
The guide itself seems to be nicely made, but sadly, it doesn’t fit the router bases that I have, especially the Dewalt DNP612 base.

Parfait convient tout à fait avec ma défonceuse Bosch GOF 1600 CE

Funktioniert Perfekt kann als parallelanschlag und kreischender verwendet werden. Die zentrierscheibe sollte zum kreisschneiden sehr gut fixiert werden!
