Rick; your buddy is out to lunch. The Bosch edge guide is so easy to use that a kid could figure it out.
Yeh there are four thumbscrews on the shafts, two more hold the shaft to the cast base...no base removal required. In fact I can't even picture why a person would want to(?).
Two of the thumbscrews allow you to move the whole guide assembly in or out for rough location and the other two are for the fine adjustment, which is extremely precise.
Perhaps he shouldn't be allowed near power tools (or anything sharp for that matter...
).

I agree . He was trying to tell me that I should buy one of these new small plunge saws , as he watched all the reviews on YouTube and the craftsman was up there in the ratings .Rick; your buddy is out to lunch. The Bosch edge guide is so easy to use that a kid could figure it out.

Apparently on youtube you can dam near do anything you can with a tablesaw , so he bought one. I told him buy a skil saw at the very least , and not this small hand held piece of junk .
Recently he’s trying to cut some sections of plywood to build shelving,when it catches the plywood and goes flying in the air narrowly missing his fingers .
He took it back and bought a dewalt tablesaw lol. Unfortunately he doesn’t take constructive criticism well

Thanks, Charlie, for that! There was a recent discussion here re what guides would fit what routers, and igot as far as checking the diameter of my (various) routers and guides, but didn't pursue it any further. Good to know about the standard sizing on the Bosch.
Re Rick's buddy and his new toy; "Perhaps he shouldn't be allowed near power tools (or anything sharp for that matter... )." Did I see that coming or what?

You called it . The incident was beneficial for me , as he finally quit talking about what a great tool it was .Thanks, Charlie, for that!

I seen the cuts he made as he tried to follow a piece of wood as a guide . The cuts were none to accurate lol, but you gotta humour this guy , as he’s one of these people who likes to dish it out , but can’t take it . And I mean on a level you’ve never seen before.
Now he wants to own his first router , and I tried to sway him towards getting the Bosch 1617 evs , but YouTube’s really got him convinced to go with Rigid :lol:
Guys just so you know , I’m not making this up,and it’s practically happening daily

I can't argue that the holes in the casting aren't 'sloppy' size wise, they are, but it doesn't seem to have any effect (affect?) on performance at all.
When the setscrew tightens down the contact between the rod and the hole is at the bottom face of the hole and works the same as gripping a pipe in a 'V' notch. The rod is gripped solidly. Never had one slip, and isn't that really the point?
In any case, Ellery, you get full marks for making your own!
