Similar to a rip fence on a circular saw, a router edge guide ensures that the router's path is true. The 49-54-1035 edge guide from Milwaukee features tough, all-metal construction for strength and accuracy; a micro-fine adjustment dial that ensures precise routing to within 1/128-inch inch; extra-long mounting rods for superior cut capacity (9 inches from board edge); an extra-wide, steel guide fence with auxiliary mounting holes for enhanced control; and large, comfortable set screws for quick, secure depth adjustments. The edge guides fits Milwaukee routers 5615, 5616 and 5619, as well as many popular routers thanks to its industry standard mounting hole design. The edge guide includes guide body, mounting rods and hardware.

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... more info
