Dremel 335-01 Plunger Router Attachment for Rotary Tool

Works very well, can't go wrong with one of these

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.

I wish I had bought this tool a long time ago! However it is somewhat let down by mediocre manufacturing which could easily have been mitigated by good design (but wasn't). So the good: I used these to recess hinges into a door and door frame. Produced quality recesses my home builder could only dream of achieving. I have a quality router in my garage but I keep finding new uses for this dremel tool. As an example, I use it to accurately drill pilot holes in wood at precisely 90 degree. Highly recommended if you do any wood work around the home! The bad: This is a plunger router with two hefty springs that return the dremel back to its at-rest position. However, if you want to lock the router in place you can do this by turning one of the handles. The problem is the lock only operates on one of the two guide shafts. Poor tolerances allow the router to cant at a small angle (maybe 2-3 degrees). This makes setting the correct bit depth harder than it should be and creates a slightly asymmetric cut. The problem could've been mitigated by a second lock on the other guide shaft, but none is provided. The recommendation: You will need to buy a set of router bits and I recommend you also buy a keyless, quick change tool chuck for the dremel. This allows you to use a wide range of 3rd party bits and tool (OCGIG 0.4-3.4mm). This is a must-have item if you want to use non-dremel accessories. I rarely use the dremel chuck now! Overall the tool is good value but I wish they had spent a few dollars to produce the perfect tool.

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

Works perfectly with the model 4000 tool. The unit initially arrived with some small parts missing. I contacted the manufacturer via their website, and they promptly sent a replacement. I could not ask for better customer support.

This worked really well for me even though my rotary tool is not a Dremel. It fit great. Felt solid. And I was able to easily and accurately route out a cavity in a guitar body.

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.

Works great for inlay work

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.
