Most helpful customer reviews 14 of 14 people found the following review helpful. Usefull but limited. By G. Robinson The GOOD: Works well for making edge molding. Seems to work with any Skill router with the 3 hole base plate. Very easy to setup the router in the plate. Comes with a OK fence and not real useful miter gauge. All the guards, finger board and safety shield attach to the fence. The fence has an adjustable OK dust collection port. The BAD: Its a kludge (a collection of ill considered parts forming a distressing whole). The plate its self is fine, but it can't be removed without removing the fence. The fence is fastened with a machine screw (plastic knob on the end) through 1.5" long holes in the fence and into one of 4 holes in the table using a wing nut and washer on the other end. This causes the following problems: a. Difficult to get the fence fastened. b. Difficult to adjust the fence. c.
