Can the Pic Police get you for too many pictures?
I took some time yesterday afternoon to set up my new EZ Smart Router Guide. I've set it up with my PC 690 router, however I'm considering checking it out on my DW 621 as well.
The set up was very easy. The router base plate is just aligned between the stock base plate and the bottom of the casing. On the PC 690, the original mounting screws fit just fine with the EZ base plate in place.
The base is then attached to the guide sled with two knobs, which also control the height setting.
While the Smart Base for the CS rides on top of the guide rails, the guide sled for the router kit rides on a dovetailed slot (since the router rides along side of the rail as opposed to on top of the rail like the CS.)
Distance from the guide rail is controlled by the large knob and slotted guide connected to the sled. The sled can also be locked into position on the rail using the smaller, lower knob on the sled, allowing cuts to be made perpedicular to the guide rail.
Should you ever find need to hop off the rail, the kit does include an edge guide as well.
Now I just need to finish tiling the front room, so that I can get the window seat cabinet off the work table and installed and really start putting this system to work.
