Good grief
I bought this Milwaukee edge guide from Amazon and it came in factory-sealed packaging. There is so much slop in the design that I doubt that a 1/128-inch adjustment is repeatable. Better yet, the fine adjustment knob on my guide had damaged threads and would not turn at all. The person who assembled it forced it into place. The knob is steel and the sliding part that it goes into is aluminum. The threads in the aluminum part were chewed up as a result. Both guide rods were also severely corroded at the ends and one rod was starting to corrode along its length.
Milwaukee seems to have really terrible quality control (if at all) in their router division. I'm crossing my fingers that the replacement unit will be in much better shape than this one.

For Once A Year Use Only
Far below Milwaukee quality standards, there is nothing "heavy-duty" about this edge guide. Made in China, crudely designed, you will need to buff the threads and oil them before the mechanism will even begin to adjust smoothly. This is what you may expect from Black & Decker or Skil, but to attach this third-world accessory to the superb Milwaukee router is ridiculous. A joke at nearly $30, at least it's all metal. The only reason to buy: it will definitely fit your Milwaukee router.

Works, but not precision
Works ok, but is not a precision insturment. I have seen better for the money.

Must have
This guide is fantastic. Micro fine adjusments made easy and precise.

If you are looking at this but question if it delivers, here's how it got to work for me. Once the router is over the cut mark lock the rails finger tight. Using your left hand hold the fence against the stock, with your right hand loosen the single fence nut (underneath) then using the same hand micro adjust the dial to move the router toward or away from you. Once the bit is in position lock the fence nut and the micro fine adjustment is complete.

Looks Good...
Milwaukee products are usually rugged and reliable. This edge guide could take a lesson from other manufacturers in ease of use and accuracy. I find the micro-adjustment feature to be very difficult to turn even with the bottom nut completely loose. The rails that the edge guide travels along are not connected to anything and may play a role in the micro-adjustment difficulty when they are not perfectly parallel.

This guide works and is not all of that pricey, but it could stand some improvements for which many folks are willing to pay a little extra for. I can't honestly give it 4 stars, but 3 stars is an average rating.
