Lowes did me ok on it too. They had the sign on it for the accessories package. The sign should have been removed a couple of weeks earlier but they missed it. They didn't have the package so to make up for it they knocked $40 off the price and I got it for $179. I'll definitely do business there again.
Anyway I have been thinking about getting the microfence edge guide for it. It's kind of pricey so I'd like to know if anyone is using one before I take the plunge.
I guess while I am asking anyone using the circle jig too?
Thanks |
Hi NH_Sawyer
"edge guide"
If you do alot of hand routing you will like as I do, I have one for my Porter Cable and I use it all the time, it's great when the item is to big to get on the router table,cabinets,doors frames,etc.
The one for the Bosch can do cir.but I do recommend the Jasper jig, you may want ot take a hard look at it, it's a great jig and can small holes and up to a 18" one quick and easy.
