Buyer Beware! It Works, But...

Buyer Beware! It Works, But...
Good grief! I got apparatus to work, but what a hassle. Long-story-short, it did not fit the base of my DeWalt DW616. Let me explain.A set of four rods were shipped with this device. Two are 10.25 inches long and 12mm thick (diameter). The other two are 10 inches long and 8mm thick. The larger rods did not fit through the guide holes of either base I have. I have a plunge base and fixed base. I switch the motor out between the two depending on what I am doing. The holes in my bases are 11.7mm. The smaller rods of course did go through, but now you have a loose, sloppy, and unsure fit. Ended up using the rods I had previously. However, that was not the biggest problem.The rod spacing provided by the product base does not match up with the openings on the router base. The rod guide openings on the router base are 10cm apart. On the product base you must chose between 8.3cm using the smaller guide rods, or 11.5 cm using the thicker rods. Neither one worked as designed for me.To achieve the 10cm spacing required by my router bases I had to use one thicker rod (my own - 10mm) through one of the larger 12mm outside holes in the guide base, and one smaller 8mm inside holes with a smaller 8mm rod. This misaligns the router base to the device by throwing the entire router base off center. Take a look at the photos to see what I mean.The instructions are adequate; read them and study the pictures. You need good McGyvering skills to get this to work. Anyway, after getting the guide rail adapter securely fastened onto my router I was able to cut two perfectly straight grooves into my workbench top using the Makita plunge-saw guide sled. Note: don't forget to include the thickness of the guide sled (3/16") when calculating the depth of your slots. Otherwise your cuts will be too shallow. Also make sure you leave clearance between the cutting edge of the router bit and the rubber edge on your track saw sled. Otherwise you will cut off rubber edging on the sled.Would a recommend this product? Maybe. It did not fit my router at all as designed, but I made it work with alterations. I thought it was fussy and imperfectly executed, but in the end I was able to achieve the results I wanted. Honestly, it was very cool being able to use the track saw sled to guarantee perfectly straight dados of the perfect depth. I guess - buyer beware. Hope this helped.
