Great setup for a miniature shop
Style: Portable Rotary Tool Shaper
I've been wanting a mini router for years and always hesitated buying this because I have an old off-brand rotary tool. I finally ordered it, thinking that for that price, I could always try to modify it or just return it. I'm so glad I took the chance! If your rotary tool has a collet that reveals screw threads under it to mount it, this will work for you. My Flex Shaft rotary tool would not fit in it, for example. But that's the one I use at my desk, so having the other rotary tool dedicated to the router is perfect. I wouldn't want to have to mount/unmount the Dremel every time I use the router setup. When you screw the Dremel on, make sure you tighten it all the way with the provided wrench, and that the little push knob to screw/unscrew the router bit is facing the front opening. If you don't screw it in all the way, the Dremel will be wobbly. The fence has enough little notches that you need to cover it with a piece of wood so your pieces don't get caught on them. And they must know that because there are two holes already provided to secure the additional wooden fence with a machine screw and a bolt on the reverse. Make sure you countersink the wood so the screw doesn't stick out. Mount the whole setup on a plank, so you can clamp it to a workbench, or whereever you need it, but then put it away when you're done. As far as the performance, I want to manage your expectations. This isn't meant to be a full size router. I make dioramas and use mostly basswood or small wood dowels for trim moulding. Even then, the trims can be a tiny bit off in places, but are decent enough. There's a tiny bit of give if you try to trim off too much material at once, so if you're cutting deep, do it in stages. And watch your fingers, it still has quite a bit of pull, even for a tiny setup. Make yourself a push stick! So overall, if you do miniatures, this table is a great value for the price! ... show more

Great addition to my tool kit for fine precision work and crafting projects! 5 stars! Love it!
Style: Portable Rotary Tool Shaper
Fantastic table though I wish it were a bit sturdier. Regardless, it appears to do the job well enough. I just don't trust plastic, where metal should have been used instead. Just my opinion of course... Anyhow as far as the table goes, it's easy enough to operate, has simple, readable instructions in several common languages and may require a bit of reading and/or watching YouTube videos for those, less familiar with these types of miniaturized tools, or power tools in general. This is NO TOY! You can be seriously injured or worse if you do not follow proper safety procedures and use required safety gear. I.e: Safety Glasses, finger guards and make adjustments with the tool UNPLUGGED. The extra effort of being sure the tool is unplugged could save your eyes or a finger or two, so just do it. Thank me later. Lol! Overall this is a great addition to my tool kit for fine Precision work crafting soft metals, plastics and wood. Love this thing. The only real drawback is, mounting your Dremel tool in this decice takes a few minutes, and of course, that tool can not be used for any other purpose while mounted. So plan your project carefully and minimize the number of times you have to swap out Dremel tools and bits. Assuming you only have one Dremel tool, like myself... Good luck! ... show more

Not a bad router table for small spaces
Style: Portable Rotary Tool Shaper
I needed a router table but there's not much space in my garage to set up a standalone table. My father gave me a dremel tool years ago saying it would be one of the most versatile tools I own. Ran across this attachment and was reminded of his sage advice. The table easily mounts to the corner of my workbench and can be easily removed when I need a little more bench space. The build quality of the table is good but does feel a little plasticy. I think it will hold up given the smaller projects it is designed to tackle. There is a slight bit of wobble with the dremel if you do not tightly fasten the height adjustment screw and I wish the hash marks were labeled better. Here I think dremel could have spared a little plastic and used aluminum or metal for the mount/height adjustment. The gate/guide works but I do wish it was adjustable back/forth, as well as at an angle. You can move the pivot point closer or further away from the dremel, but to adjust the position of your cut you have to angle the gate and then use a cut-out in the gate the levels the cut. I'm still learning my way around this tool and there may be a better way of adjusting the gate, but I've yet to find it. All in all, it's a very good accessory for your dremel and an easy way add a router to your tool box without sacrificing a lot of space. ... show more

Works with 8250 cordless Dremel rotary tool
Style: Portable Rotary Tool Shaper
Works well with my 8250 cordless Dremel rotary tool with a roundover bit. I clamped the router table to my B&D workmate with a couple of Irwin quick clamps. The router table was secure and stable. I would recommend this router table to anyone, realizing that it does have its limitations due to size and dremel sized bits etc. ... show more

Fantastic Router Table that just Needs Some Non-slip Material to Keep it Stationery
Style: Portable Rotary Tool Shaper
I got this for a class in woodworking that I'm teaching to girls who have learning disabilities. This is one of the tools that I felt would be indispensable. I was a little disappointed in the way that the table mounts on a stationery table because it moves around a lot. I fixed that, not wanting to permanently fasten it to the table, by using the rubbery waffle weave fabric that is used to keep rugs from sliding. I put it underneath the Router Table where it contacts the big table, and then started to tighten the clamps. THAT made it stay still 100%. I look forward to using this little router and will report back on its functionality. It's extremely well made and I especially like the plastic covering for where the bit will stick up. I still have my students using safety glasses though. Well made, but it's a little hard to figure out how to keep it still until you put that non-slip fabric between the Router table and the regular table. If you're going to attach it permanently, no worries except to be sure not to tighten the bolts to the point that the plastic base splits. ... show more

An exceptional value, assuming you understand that the tool must do the work. - note, new edit and dropped rating from 5 to 3
Style: Portable Rotary Tool Shaper
I was a little worried after reading some of the reviews, but now having used it for a couple weeks with my 400XPR, I'm not sure what some of these other people are smoking. Yes, the router table and fence are plastic. Using softer woods like basswood, I noticed no deflection whatsoever. The core tenet of any tool is "let the tool do the work." If you're getting deflection, you're either using the wrong bit or you're pushing the workpiece faster than it likes to be cut. I'm finding that I can make highly accurate dado slots for basswood planking in 3/8" x 3/8" stock with ease. Usually I'll make three passes, one at half-depth (and a quick cleanup pass), then one halfway to the final depth (again, with a quick cleanup pass), and a final pass at the final depth with a last cleanup pass. I let the tool do the work and don't push the stock faster than the routing bit will go. Honestly, I couldn't be happier with this product if I tried. I haven't had any of the wood dust buildup others have mentioned (then again, I blow off the deck and mounting hole after each pass) and I have no need to clamp it to anything after mounting the routing table on a spare piece of 2x8 stock I had laying around. There's no way I could get this level of performance out of a standard routing table without spending at least $400. Keep your expectations reasonable. You're not going to cut into metal with this, it has no cutting lubrication function and the motor is directly below the router bit hole. If you want to machine grooves in metal, use the right tool for the job - a router is *not* the right tool. If you're going to use it on a hardwood, go slow and let the bit do all the work. I have no doubt this would work on ebony or rosewood, as long as the bit is sharp and the material is not forced. The short of it; understand how to use the tool and it will reward you handsomely - particularly at this price! [Edit - drop from 5 stars to 3] There is a fatal flaw in the design of this table that was not noted until I went to do finger, box, and dovetail joints. Because the fence is inherently not parallel with the front and back edges of the table, what you wind up with are skewed keys and slots. The results of trying to do joinery work with this table look like utter crap. This is a *fine* table for doing inlay, dado, or shaping work. It is absolutely unsuitable for joinery work that is anything other than a simple dado slot. Insult to injury, due to the design of the table, it's nearly impossible to create your own fence that *can* be parallel to the front edge and still permit adjusting the distance from the fence to the bit. Looks like it's time to spend some significant money on a real routing table and fixed base router. ... show more

Limited capacity for big projects, but great for hobby use.
Style: Portable Rotary Tool Shaper
It worked for what I needed. I needed to shave a few mm from the edge of about thirty 1/2” thick spruce boards. With my limited shop equipment, using a dremel tool seems like a reasonable choice. I managed to get it done, but that size and kind of wood isn’t what this is meant for. I used an 1/8th inch single flute mill that left a good finish. This is really meant for hobby wood like thin aircraft plywood, balsa or bass. As I am a model hobbyist, this will come in handy for that. ... show more

Great Addition To A Small Dremel Workshop
Style: Portable Rotary Tool Shaper
I've wanted one of these for years and finally made it happen. Made from tough plastic, it seems very sturdy. It is intended to be mounted at the edge of a bench, or alternatively, to a length of 2x4 so it can be clamped to a bench temporarily, which is what I will be doing. I usually clamp tools like this to my Workmate anyway. The table incorporates an adjustable fence for planing/edging complete with a decent guard, a miniature version of what you'd find on most full-sized router tables. The fence also included a slide-out section in the outfeed part so that adequate support can be given when removing stock from the edge being worked upon, which is always to be placed against the fence and the workpiece fed into the bit from right to left. Doing anything else will result in dangerous kickback. I have a friend who lost his forefinger and thumb in just such an accident with a tablesaw, and I once launched a spear-like workpiece across my workshop when I was so tired I did it wrong while using my router table, so pay attention to the basic instructions on how to use the router/shaper table and only work while you are alert. You get all the hardware needed to screw the table down, a wrench for installing the motor-tool, the table itself and a leaflet of instructions and safety warnings. There are also instructions for how to expand the table's area with a wooden auxiliary table. Table-mounting any rotary took is a great idea the broadens its application incredibly. I'm looking forward to what I can achieve with this little beauty. BIG CAVEAT: I was offered the chance to add some bits to my purchase and I did so. The bits looked awesome, just like full-sized router bits, with structural material supporting the carbide cutters and ball bearing guides, the works. Sadly, and to my cost since the nearest Amazon return center is over an hour's drive away, these bits do NOT fit any current Dremel rotary tool that will mount in this table. You'll know them by the bright blue heads on them. DO NOT BUY THOSE BITS. They have 3/8" shanks, far too big for any current model of Dremel rotary tool that will fit this router/shaper table. ... show more
