I used the plunge router guide to cut out door hinges. As I moved it across the edge of the door it would drop and cut deeper. There was no way to support it over the 3 1/2 inch cut.

The router attachment is another tool that I didn’t know I needed until I received it. A great tool to add to my everyday use of tools to help me produce the best items I can for my customers. Quick and easy to set up. I am sure Dremel didn’t intend for the tool to be used this way, but I am a Maker, and there is no telling what you will see when you walk into a Maker’s shop, and being versatile makes this item even better. I am a Leatherworker, a Woodworker, and I restore vintage sewing machines. All professions that a Dremel tool is a must, but this router attachment worked perfectly for the job of the day – smoothing edges of leather card wallets and wooden belt buckles. I chucked the drill and attachment into my bench vise, used a speed of 4 on the drill, and wow what great results. Minutes to do what has taken me hours to do by hand. A tool I never knew I needed, but now it will be in use in my daily production.

I was pretty excited to get my plunge router attachment in the mail and get to work. In the past I’ve had to borrow a router to finish the projects I was working on. Out of the box, the plunge router attachment is ready to use for free hand routing, but needs just a little assembly to use the two included guides that can be attached to the base. An edge guide and circular guide is included and the booklet that comes in the box does a good job of explaining how to use each of them. Before I attached my rotary tool, the attachment felt very lightweight and I was afraid that it being mostly made of plastic, it was going to be a little too light duty. However, once my rotary tool was attached, it felt solid and really comfortable to hold.Attaching my Dremel 3000 to the base was a breeze with just unscrewing the nut off the end of it, lining it up in the base, and then using the included wrench to tighten it into place. The plunge router attachment does not include any of the router bits that Dremel makes, but they are easily found anywhere you can find Dremel accessories. I used 3 different sized straight bits as well as 2 different edge bits to do my testing and finish my project. Changing bits can done two ways, by either removing your Dremel or while it’s attached to the base. Personally, I found it difficult to change bits quickly while it was attached to the base. After several hours of use, here’s what I found.Things I liked: Easy to use right out of the box with clear instructions on how to use it.Inexpensive way to add a plunge router to your toolbox.The clear base makes it easy to see your lines and cuts.Compact, easy to store away for future use.Compatible with most Dremel rotary tools.Versatile, can be used free hand, with guides, or for doing edge work.Things that keep it from being a home run:The up and down spring mechanism sticks, even after lubricating it making it harder than it should be to move the tool up and down.The depth stop and limiter are cheap plastic and the nuts will move due to vibration of the tool. (the bottom nut kept unscrewing all the way to the bottom on me)The locking handle is on the opposite side of the depth stop and limiter which allows for some play from side to side making it hard to switch back to a previous set depth.Only 2 edge guide knobs, guide rods, and hex head nuts are included so switching back and forth from the edge guide to the circle guide is more hassle than it should be.Final Thoughts:Dremel made a fun little attachment that adds even more uses to their already versatile rotary tools. It does what it’s suppose to, but should be made clear that it’s made for smaller projects and detail work. With a few tweaks, I think this attachment would be even more valuable than it already is. I look forward to using it more in the future!

There is no better tool when I need to do precision routing on a small scale. I have used it on guitars, wood craft and stained glass frames.

I bought this item a while ago, but was waiting to get some projects to try it out on before I wrote a review on it. And I have to say this will be one of the more useful attachments that I’ve purchased.I’ve only done a couple of things with it so far but have absolutely no regrets.I wanna start by saying that at first I was a little confused about the whole setup, and had to read over the manual a couple of time to make sure I was setting it up correctly. But after you have everything together, you’ll wonder what all the confusion was about because it’s all rather simple.Of the various projects I’ve tried using it for, the craziest one has to be a use that I’m sure it never was intended for (and I might add a note of special caution if you decide to). And that was cutting some 3/4 inch birch wood into the shape of a small tree like cross-section. I attached one of the Dremel cutting bits to accomplish this. And let me say that you definitely have to take your time and follow the rotation of the bit while you attempt this. But I managed to do it. Now I could have (and probable should have) used a jigsaw for the task. But I wanted to test out some other uses of the router attachment. Thinner wood or lighter material should be a breeze however. It ought to be great for gypsum board in that regard.A couple of other things that I used it for were routing out some hand hold indents along the side of a piece. And some freehand scroll work. That’s all stuff the tool was designed for and as you’d expect, it worked rather well at that. One thing I would like to mention though in the way of routing with these little bits is to take it slow. You’ll have to work with shallow depth adjustments and take your time as well otherwise you’ll smoke up the bits.The one thing I didn’t get the chance to do before writing this review and really wish I had, was to try cutting out some laminates. I was hoping to see how it would do on some smaller cutout areas. But that’ll have to wait for another day.So as far as the attachment goes and it’s construction: Like I said, I think it’s going to be one of the more useful attachments that I’ve got. It’s solidly built of some rather durable plastic for the most part. Although the rails, springs, guide bars and adjustment bolt are all metal. There is a depth gauge (metal too) built into it that I really didn’t end up seeing the need for. I’m just not that kind a guy I guess. Also the device is setup so that your rotary tool is fitted to the top portion and rides up and down on two rails. Along with that there are two adjustment nuts threaded onto a bolt on the attachment that are intended to set the limits of how deep the bit goes, but also apparently how high it can be raised as well. I didn’t find the lower nut (the one that I suppose limits the raising of the tool I guess) necessary. Then again, if for some reason you’d want to lock the tool to a certain depth it would be I suppose. But one thing that I though was a nice touch about that setup was that there is a button that you can depress to release the adjustment bolt rather than having to unthread it (you’ll understand if you buy one). But for the small amounts of depth I found myself needing to adjust for I ended up just turning the bolt on the threads for fine adjustments. Oh and by the way, one of the two knobs that you hold the router attachment with loosens and tightens or locks it into place which is important because you want to make sure your depth stays consistent in most cases.The attachment comes with a straight edge guide (which I think I had to reverse at one point for some routing I did because of the reach). And they also include a circle guide that can be nailed down centrally to do circles with. They even included a nail (something I thought was amusing). Then there’s two template inserts that it comes with that can be used if you’re working with templates. I wasn’t, so I didn’t get to try them out. But nice to have them all the same.And just like the little details that Dremel does with all it’s stuff like including the circle nail, they’ve included a wrench to attach and remove your rotary tool. But in addition they added a slot to the top of the attachment where you can store the wrench. There’s also another slot just across from that to hold your rotary tool’s wrench as well (they one you tighten the bits down with). They don’t include that wrench, but I expect if you already own a rotary tool then you’ve got a couple laying around as I do.Anyway this is getting rather long. The one last little detail I’d like to mention (and I’m pretty sure this wasn’t in the manual anywhere), was that there are some small hole like features on the bottom plate of the attachment. I’m going to include a couple of pictures of these. My guess is that they could be used for holding spare bits (just like the wrench slots are there for convenience). However I don’t think it would be too wise an idea to take them up on that option if that’s what they’re for because although they seem to hold them rather tightly, I think there’d be a danger of them falling loose and into your spinning bit with the vibration.So… Overall I really like the accessory. But then again, I don’t remember not liking any of Dremel’s stuff. If I were to say anything negative about it, it would be that it’s meant for projects that are more or less on the small side? But then again, I usually end up sweating the small stuff. And Dremel tools. They’re always there to see me through it 😉

This little gadget is rather nice to have with your rotary tool. Beside the fact that it’s used as lightweight router attachment, it comes in handy as well for other uses. I often find myself trying to hold my Dremel steady as I make a cut freehand. This attachment allows me to place the tool up against the surface of a lot of the cuts I make and helps with the freehand precision. And beside some typical routing jobs that you might preform with it, I found it really nice to use recently when I had to carve out some hardware placements in a door. No more chiseling out the hinges and latch slots for me 🙂

I have been wanting to for years to make my own picture frames,most of which are 11″ and under. My regular router was a beast and not even close to easy to use for myself to make the frame pieces. This unit allows me to work in comfort from the top of my workbench and also the footprint is a perfect size for a cramped basement work bench

I have been wanting a router for a while now to work on projects but lacked room for a large unit. Glad I found out about the Dremel Plunge Router – its the perfect size for small projects. I opened the package, read the easy to follow basic set up instructions, and made my first cuts in minutes. The unit is light weight, but solid. I had no issues maneuvering the unit in freehand cuts. I loved that it came with an edge guide which will be helpful in rounding edges on the wood plaques I want to make for gifts this year. The router bits and Dremel tool come separately – so you will need to order them at the same time as this unit.Over all – I am happy with the unit. Another fine product from Dremel!

This tool works well as intended. It does not fit my needs as well as I thought it might. Would I recommend it? Maybe,, dependent on the purchaser’s intended use.

I got this about a month ago. Use it for craft work milling out wood for picture frames and such. I found it easy to use, light weight and built well. Been using it about twice a week now so it’s getting a work out.
