The Dremel 335-01 Plunge Router Attachment Worked just fine, I would not hesitate to buy from your company in the future.Alex Smith
Does whats its suppose to w/ no issues, the fence is very hand for inline routing. Used it several times now w/ no problems. It has depth stops and a locking know that make it very easy to adjust plunge depth.
That doesn't apply and is not correct unless the person had a mis match with the dremel. Yes it takes more time than a huge router, but this works for me. Be sure yours is on the list.I love this thing. This is a great product for small applications. Pickups, neck pocket, control cavity, etc. I can see what I am doing and can go slowly. It specifies which dremels fit this rig. If you are doing small jobs try it.
I am using it to route guitar cavities. It fits my dremel perfectly and you can see and have access to change the bit. This is also the best price I found including ebay. I read another review that said you needed to remove the dremel to change the bit.
Dremel brand bits are very high quality, but they're also pricey. When you use it this way, this plunge router base is a real winner. Of course, this is an issue with all Dremel tools and accessories, not just this plunge base, but it is something to think about. The Dremel plunge router base is a great accessory, but you have to recognize its limitations and live within them.Rotary tools work at high speeds, but they produce low torque. The trick is to let the bit shave away the wood. This means routing in a series of passes, not all at once. Brand X bits are cheaper, but they tend to wear out more quickly. So, as is the case with all tools, you have to understand and live within its limitations.
This means they just won't chew through lots of hard materials very well-- or at all. You can do decorative work with a Dremel freehand, but this base is the only way to achieve consistent depth in straight lines. I'm very happy I bought this accessory, and I'd gladly do so again. With a little practice-- and some good luck-- it's even possible to "write" cursively with it on wood.A real issue is the price of the bits.
It took me awhile to get the hang of working it. I makes it convenient when working with small projects.
