335-01 Plunger Router Attachment for Rotary Tool | Woodworking for DIY projects, Plunge Router for Rotary Tools, Clear Base, Edge Guide, Compatible with Dremel Rotary Tools

This attachment has increased my scope of service ten fold.The Dremel is a very viable tool with the router assembly for smaller, more precise work that a conventional router is just too cumbersome and overpowered for.

Lots of complaints about "stiff springs" or "hard to plunge" but the only time i had that issue is if i didn't loosen the plunge lock knob enough. It is a relatively fine adjustment and takes SEVERAL turns before the plunge function is smooth and easy. This is a feature not a bug.The depth stop sucks big time, never stays where you put it since they are plastic threads that just vibrate loose. But I don't really think it's that necessary on a cheap flimsy tool. This thing is exactly what you should get for the price, you want a little better accuracy and quality then buy a WEN router for $20-$40 more.Perfect, exactly the right price, exactly what I needed for some routing in some custom 2x4 lumber shelves I'm making. Make sure everything is tight and you fully seat the tool straight and it works well.You get what you pay for, this tool is exactly what you need if you are shopping in this price point.

This is probably the single most used add-on for my Dremel and I love it. I create pieces that most people would think are CNC routed into the wood using stains, dyes, wood burning, etc, to create images or signage for gifts. The work done on the project pictured was probably 90% or more done with the help of this tool! So much capability to create multiple depths with clean lines and shapes.I wish there was an option to rate it at like a 4.8, because there is ONE issue I wish didn't exist that is a bit irritating. When you set the plunge depth and set the tightening handle, as you go through your project the depth gets ever so slightly shallower from the vibrations in the tool. For example, if I am clearing a large space around a section of lettering, by the time I complete clearing the area and get back to where I started, there is about a 1 or 2mm difference in the depth level. To minimize this issue, I lightly agitate/tap the plunge router over an open gap between 2 boards(so the bit won't hit anything and damage the tool or the bit) after setting the depth. This seems to get it to "settle" into the position that it works itself to over time from the vibrations of the rotary tool. There will still be a slight variation in depth, but doing this makes the difference much easier to blend with some light sand paper and very little work.With that only negative out of the way, like I said, I absolutely LOVE this thing. The flat side of the router gives the ability to create straight, clean lines in your work. The included tools/adapters give the ability to make clean circles(though I haven't found a way to make smaller circles). The visibility window and clear plastic shield at the base of the unit is very easy to see around/through to what you are working on so I can very easily trace outlines and templates I create for my projects with very few mistakes, if any. Further, setting the depth is pretty easy and you can make some *incredible* "layering" pieces(like my included picture with 5 different levels to create the appearance of "depth" in the piece) with a little creativity and patience. There are very few jobs/creations I have done that I didn't use this tool on in some capacity. This is literally my favorite tool for my Dremel and I couldn't imagine trying to make most of the pieces I create without it!Bottom line, if you are on the fence about getting this tool or the basic "Multi-Purpose Cutting Kit", it is ABSOLUTELY worth the extra money. This is completely worth the money asnd then some. I wish I had bought this so much sooner than I did, it was a game changer. I've had this for almost 3 years now with no issues other than the minor one mentioned early on in this review. So yeah, if you have a Dremel, just buy it already.

Works great for inlay work

Nice tool extension. Can do so much more with it.

Does a pretty good job for what it is.

I bought this accessory to use when I'm doing inlay work and want fine control over the depth of cut.This offering from Dremel was underwhelming, as there is no facility to finely adjust depth of cut, plus the two support columns have enough play to eliminate the usefulness of the provided template guides. I found there to be almost 1/8" of side play as one or the other column rose or fell. Unacceptable.On the plus side, the price is attractive.Edit: Upon reading other reviews, I found one that mentioned the screw holding the support posts in place were not tight. Checking this, I found the screws on my base to also be a little loose. I tightened them (with a little Loc Tite to boot) and the play I mentioned above was nearly eliminated.I added a star to my review as a result and updated the title.

I just simply love this dremel attachment, seems well made and easy to use.

I wish to have a second dremel in future to use this as a permanent router! Perfect...find a video for the set up and follow step by step the instructions.
