This item can only be used properly with the specified rotary tool. Must modify to allow other makers to fit . I recommend —only if you have the correct rotary tool.

I bought this to cut slots in stones for “groove wrapped” jewelry.After removing the supplied fence and replacing it with a homemade one, it works for that purpose.

I’m a new crafter and bought this to help sharpen/stabilize my routing for various designs I make in wood. (I was using the plunge cutting guide the Dremel 4000 came with.) This not only allows me to keep the drill level as I’m working, but I can see EVERYTHING because the base is clear acrylic. I only have a problem with the part of the base that you screw the drill into. It’s plastic and immediately started stripping as I tightened it. Other than that, this has saved me a boatload of time and effort!

Works OK. Instructions are not easy ro follow. Can be made to do the job by intuition.

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 do small quick jobs for friends and relatives that sometimes are just a few minutes all the way up to several days. My Dremel router is perfect for the tighter places and doesn’t weigh a ton and is easier to handle, and it didn’t cost me an arm and a leg!

I’m not a router expert. I’m using this to make a groove in a wood stand for glass art. Some of the stands are small. I’ve experimented with this and I believe it will do the job. I need to practice more on scrap wood. A full size router would not have worked for my projects.

The Dremel Plunge Router Tool attachment is a great tool. I was doing a home hobby project and it has me thinking of other things a can use this attachment.

Ok for small project.

I bought this thinking I could avoid buying a real router. I think I was wrong. I expected too much, I think. This is really a good Dremel attachment, but it is still plastic. It is fine for light duty, soft material.

The tool is everything as advertised but why doesn’t the local store have a source of Dremel router bits? In fact, any accessories are almost nil. Maybe you should work on that.

For something so small it preformed well.

For an arts-and-crafts project for the wife, I had to rout a couple of half-inch-deep slots into cherrywood. Used a Dremel #650 bit. It went well enough, considering this was the first time I used the attachment. Could not have done it without this little contraption. The build is, well…cheap, as you might expect for at tool with such a low price . All plastic except for two steel 10” rods to guide straight cuts. For any serious routing, neither the Dremel tool or this guide are to be considered, but that’s the deal with these. But they functioned well together for my very light-duty job. Will use it again, glad I bought it. Extra comment: Not that Dremels are dangerous if you exercise reasonable care—but do yourself a favor: Be a sissy and wear a face shield. Extra extra comment: Dremel sells a little fan attachment that blows dust away while cutting. I should have used one, would have made the grooves straighter if I could have seen what I was doing.

This is a very useful attachment for a Dremel rotary tool. It makes routing much easier, and the fence allows you create grooves, dados/trenches, rabbets and fillisters (but beware of ripouts).The negatives is that the clear plastic is not very scratch resistant, and only a little use will cloud it up permanently. And because Dremel rotary tools don’t allow locking the shaft from rotating, you cannot use it with chisel bits (hand routing) for things like cleaning out edges and corners.t’s not a replacement for a real router, but very good for the price if you already have a Dremel tool.

Worked really good for me
