=========
I might be able to do that. I would still rather have the original, but if I fail in my quest to find one, I think I will tackle this.

Thanks,

Hi Keith,

We are having a hard time keeping stock on the edge guides due to the recent promotions for the routers. They are still in production but I don't yet have word on when they are due to arrive. You may be able to keep tabs on the status by calling our Parts and Repair department at (800) 334-4107 (option 3).

Thanks for the info Charles. I will try to be patient. Does your parts department sell them direct or do you have to go through a dealer?

They only offer replacement parts (but it never hurts to ask).

I read these posts down and was bewildered by the edge guide, I just couldn't comprehend what it was until the last post, because over here, we call it a fence, but will agree that they become quite superflous in the main because of the bearing guided cutters.

Greetings Keith and welcome to the forum. Katy Texas!! I lived for a while off Park wind and then the last place was West Green CT. Oh yes also Eagle Trail, which was where we move in 1984. My youngest is still living in West Houston, not far from the Beltway 8. In fact 5 weeks from today, we will be on our way to Houston for his wedding in Galveston. We moved to Tulsa in 2001 and then to Dallas Ga in late 2002. We figure on staying here for the duration, summers are 2-3 months, winter the same. The rest of the time it is just plain nice.

Well again we are glad you have joined us here.

Thanks for the welcome. Sounds like you have moved around a bit. I had also, until I put down roots here in Katy. I have been in the same house now for 19+ years.
