CRB7 Router Side Fence Accessory – The 8th Key Function
The CRB7 Router Side Fence Kit works seamlessly with the CRB7 Combination Router Base, providing the 8th key function. Traditional edge guides can be bulky and difficult to use, but the CRB7 offers a simpler, more effective solution. With its extended depth range, you can easily route grooves and dadoes up to 7.5 inches from the edge of the board. Additionally, you can mount the edge guide in three different positions on the CRB base plate, providing more flexibility for various tasks.
Improved Control for In-Board Grooving
One of the main benefits of the CRB7 is improved control when grooving in-board. Standard parallel edge guides are often cumbersome and limited in range, which leads many woodworkers to use clamp guides instead. However, the CRB7 saves time by offering a more efficient solution, especially when batch-routing multiple boards with the same groove or dado dimensions. This makes it a valuable tool for both professional woodworkers and hobbyists.
Micro Adjustability for Precise Edge Molding
The CRB7 Edge Guide also excels at edge molding. Unlike tracer bearing cutters, which debris can affect and limit to stepped profile adjustments, the CRB7 provides precise micro-adjustments. Its large contact area between the fence and the board edge provides excellent stability. Plus, it features two fixing points for mounting a false facepiece. This allows the cutter to back cut into the facepiece, ensuring more control over the molding process. By exposing just the right amount of the cutter’s profile, you can achieve smoother, more precise edge work.
Broad Router Compatibility
Another advantage of the CRB7 is its wide compatibility with over 650 different router models. This makes it a versatile and reliable tool for nearly any woodworking project. To ensure your router is compatible, be sure to check the compatibility chart available on the CRB7 product page.
Side Fence Included
Our CRB7 Bundle and Mega Bundle packages include the CRB7 Router Side Fence.
Constructed From Solid ABS
The CRB7’s Edge Guide Side Fence can be fitted and set up in seconds for deep range grooving and dado-ing to molding edge profiles.
3 Different Fitting Locations
Depending on the task required, the Edge Guide can be fixed in 3 different positions to the CRB’s baseplate via 2 brass threaded inserts mounted in the Edge Guide bar.
Fixing Points for a False or Ablative Facepiece
A further 2 threaded inserts are located in the face of the Edge Guide, allowing an ablative (sacrificial) facepiece to be fitted. This facepiece prevents damage to the Edge Guide from the back of the router cutter when edge molding.

Routing Parallel Edge Grooves and Channels with the CRB7 Edge Guide
Traditional router edge guides are often bulky, difficult to set up, and offer limited range when creating dadoes or trenches near the edge of a board. In contrast, the CRB7 Edge Guide is designed for simplicity and speed. It’s quick to fit and offers a much greater range, allowing for deeper cuts from the edge—up to 7.5 inches (190mm). This added depth gives you more flexibility when routing parallel edge grooves. The CRB7 also benefits from the precision of its micro adjuster, which controls the exact distance between the cutter and the board’s edge for optimal accuracy.
Edge Molding with the CRB7 Edge Guide
Whether replicating an architectural molding or adding the final touch to furniture, edge molding is a critical part of many woodworking projects. The CRB7 Edge Guide offers one of the simplest and most efficient setups for repeatable edge molding. The CRB7 Micro Adjuster ensures precise control over how much of the cutter is exposed to the board edge, resulting in smooth, consistent cuts. By fitting false facepieces, the cutter is fully supported on both sides, reducing the risk of burn marks and deviations. This creates a seamless, clean edge finish every time.
The Edge Guide Side Fence Kit is compatible with all versions of the CRB7 Combination Router Base (mk1, mk2 & mk3)
To improve the process of deep range dado-ing, still further fit the CRB7’s 2″ offset bridge handle. This locates the operators guiding hand almost directly over the board edge; smoothing out the routing pass and removing the chance of racking/juddering between the Edge guide and router.
