This solved several shortcomings of my fixed base router a Milwaukee. With the whirlwind port the dust collection is infinitely better, I love the edge guide, and it is far more stable than the factory base. Base fits perfectly. Simple and effective.

It is a nice idea, but the insert doesn't sit flush with the baseplate out of the box. Also, for edge work you don't get a flat edge all the way across. There is a circular divot taken out of it so depending on what you are doing it can throw you off course. I'm new to routing, but I replaced the edge guide piece with a self-made piece of wood and it workded great. Not sure it's worth the money  but I was in a bind and couldn't wait to get the Dewalt edge guide shipped to me.

I'm using this with a Dewalt 618 - fits perfectly. This solves several of my problems: First, it allows for various inserts for larger edge bits . Second, it is a much more stable platform for handheld edge routing and the addition of the extra handle is excellent. Finally, it's a edge guide, which I don't use very often, but now at least I have one. My primary router is still mounted in the router table and I leave this set up for handheld use.
My only negative is that Inter-Loc inserts require three tiny screws to secure the insert. I much prefer a twist and lock style insert.

The plate did not fit on the base of my Bosch 1600 series router as it looked in the picture. So I am not sure that it is on there correctly. It works okay.
