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

It's been about two years that I've owned those contraption LOL....it definitely does a lot. The edge guide is real handy, be mindful of adjusting to black plastic "shoes" as far away from center as you can. That gives more riding surface. I own a Bosch dust extractor so it hooks right up, so that was nice. And it definitely helps but in my experience you always end up sweeping up some sawdust. I'm also running the Bosch 1617 series router, again this mates up no issues. The mirco adjust is cool although I can remember which way I'm adjusting so maybe it's not as convenient or maybe I should write on my jig with a sharpie!! It works really well for a circle router guide too. I just recently did an address sign for our house and once I found the little clear center pin every went really smooth. Take light passes, if you're in a hurry wait to work on your project later when you can pay attention. I'd definitely recommend this little gizmo, definitely doesn't store very easy, I hang mine out of harms way.

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.

This edge guide works great. I saw so many reviews about people complaining about the circle cutting feature with the “suction cup” center pin. But instead of taping or glueing that suction cup down, I just pushed the center pin through the bottom, and now I can drill a shallow 1/4” center hole and have the pin sit down into it to keep it from moving. It took me 15 seconds to do and it works great. Highly recommend doing it. And if you ever need to switch it back for a project that you can’t still into, then you can just push the pin back up and use it the way it came. But using it this way is the way to go. You can always just plug the hole after if needed. It will be on the bottom of your workpiece, so no one will ever even see the plug.

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.

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.

Fit the Colt/PR011 plunge base exactly. (Hefty piece of kit for a palm router.) Works as expected. Haven't used the dust fitting yet.

Works great

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.
