Convert your corded rotary tool into a light-duty, bench-mounted precision wood shaper with the Dremel 231 Shaper/Router Table. With a smooth table surface, it performs slotting, edge trimming, grooving and sanding of conventional or irregular shapes. Also features easy to grip plastic knobs that include a screwdriver slot for easier tool assembly and depth adjustment.

Everything is nice about this table. This table fits 300 dremel with no problem I wish they made the holder little stronger for the dremel. I made custom fit and now I can run bigger pieces of wood. This router table is really nice. I made nice big table from this little table. Other then this I like it and this is nice little table that you can make it nice and big. If you looking to route big pieces this is not the right table for you, but you can make something like I did.

At least it would have been somewhat useful to me. I wish I didn't have to make such a vicious statement, but this thing really is poorly-constructed junk. The tool mount flexes too much to guarantee any accuracy in your work. I just don't see how a plastic molded part can get this wrong, and for that I returned it.I don't expect too much from a rotary tool system like this, the quality is cheap and you get what you pay for - but this is ridiculous. What's worse, on the one I had the tool didn't even mount centered in the hole - preventing me from ever using any wide router or sanding bits without damaging the plastic of the table itself.If there were an adjustment - a pair of slots of some sort - to which I could center the tool properly, I would have kept the table and given two or three stars.

The table on this molded plastic device is warped and does not do what you imagine it will with any kind of acuracy. I feel its useless in its present form, but I am going to try to put on some kind on metal top on the working surface, because, as a hobbiest I do have many possible uses for such a tool. I tried it with polystyrene strip stock and it ruined it.

Too much play in the mount to really keep a nice edge, not recommeneded for anything much heavier than balsa.

She walked me thru the new method and, magical presto, it worked. Unfortunately this happened on a Saturday morning and I had to wait for Dremel's customer service department to open Monday morning. I immediately went to work using the round over bit. I ordered the Dremel 231 shaper/router and received it almost overnight. I rushed to my shop and, following the instructions in the accompanying manual immediately realized it doesn't go together as described. That's bad. Thank you Mary. It does create a lot of sawdust, but the end product is fast and perfect.

That's good. Monday morning I called and got a nice lady named Mary on the phone. The sawdust does drop onto (and into) the tool mechanism so I am careful to use compressed air to remove it regularly. She explained to me Dremel had changed the method of attaching the tool to the table and had not updated the instructions, and they had received hundreds of call just like mine.
