This is a great little attachment for the Dremel rotary tool. I've used mine on a number of projects from making signs and edging small woodworking projects. I also build specialty birdhouses in my spare time and this tool makes the job easy and professional looking. If you have a Dremel and want a small router, this is the tool for you.

I was disappointed with the attachment. It's
made out of plastic, and while reasonably firm,
it does bend a little. Not what you want for
precision work. Make sure you use the collet
and tighten it sufficiently otherwise the bit
will sink into the wood as you work. The depth
measurements are just a bunch of lines, numbers
would be nice. I was unable to rout a straight
line with the edge guide, probably because I
was going right to left instead of left to right.
I'm now in the market for a real router. Hopefully
I'll get what I pay for there...

Not bad for the money but the edge guide's working range of 1 1/4" to 4" really limits it's utility. The edge guide was of no use in routing a 1/2" groove into the narrow (1 ½") side of a 2 X 4. This made the router attachment of no use on my project.

Dremel has the "Shaper / Router Table" attachment and a soon-to-be-available Plunge Router attachment you should consider. I believe the Router Table attachment would have worked for my project. Wish I'd bought it instead. I'll be buying it now too.

What can you really say, other than it works. If you have a Dremel, you might want to have this.
