What is the difference between the 1:8 and 1:6? It say one is for softwood and one for hardwood, is there and actual difference?

Usually softwoods like pine use the 1:6. It makes the angle of the tails and pins a little steeper to hold better. Hardwoods use the 1:8 since they don’t compress as much as pine so the angle can be less steep. In my experience it doesn’t make an enormous difference, but “normal” is 1:6 for soft and 1:8 for hard.

Is this for the right handed only? I am left handed.

I'm right handed and had to use my left for some of the cuts. This is because when you cut dovetails you have to cut at a couple different angles.

where are the guides made?

Korea. The guide is o.k. but I bought a better one from Katz Moses. Made in the USA

No 90 degree?its a trash

If you buy the one that’s sold as 90 then you get 90. Buy the one that’s marked as 1:6 and you get 1:6. That’s how these work.

Just what you need

Just the job to keep your saw blade on the right path for dove tailing. Apart from a few scratches down the side works just fine. The scratches could just be the saw not bang on positioning at the start ? So possibly operator error at start of cut.
