User questions & answers

Question:	can you set this up for a table router
Answer:	My short answer would be yes. I'm not sure whether there are commercially available tables for it, though. You may have to build one yourself.
Question:	What is the set of drill bits should I buy for this tool. I bought the MLCS 8377 15-Piece Router Bit Set with Carbide-Tipped 1/2-Inch Shanks and are n
Answer:	This is a 1/4" collet router. If you want to use 3/8" (new to me) or 1/2" get a 1/2" router. I've used routers for 45 years. Own a 1/4" and two 1/2" Here's a quick guide: 1/4" router is the most widely useful, can be held in one hand for quick work, your arm doesn't get tired as fast as with a larger router. This one is good for hinge guides and door installs, laminate trimming (laminate trim bits with bearings), round over of the edges of boards or plywood. Makes a neat no slivers edge, get 1/2", 3/4" diameter cove bits (these will make 1/4 and 3/8" from the edge curves) I get these with bearings as well. (If you want less of a curve, use less depth, the curve is not symmetrical--no one will care. This is what I usually grab my 1/4" router for (I've got a Porter Cable 1/4" that's 40 years old. Can't figure out how to take it apart to replace the cord. Rather than a $60 trip to the tool repair I'm thinking of this one, vacuum dust collection is a plus). Shelf dados, usually 1/2 to 3/4" wide, is best done with a more powerful 1/2" router, but you can get by with this with two passes (overlapping) of a 1/2" straight bit. Plunge routing: always use dust collection. Freehand scroll work: 1/8 or 1/4" round bits- I don't do this, others do. If you don't yet have a router, or a specific shop need, get a 1/4". If you think you need one of those $400 router tables: don't. Make your own or buy a jointer. Figuring out how to make a router table will teach you about making jigs (you can make a fence that has finer adjustment than the fanciest most expensive one on the market) Direction of working. There's a correct direction to running a router along the edge of a board. With plywood, pine, fir, spruce, etc.. going the correct way can rip out long splinters. If you first make a very shallow pass in the 'wrong' direction to knock off the edge, then go normal depth in the correct direction, you can avoid this. (I still don't know if I want this router or not. There were 6 opened and reclosed boxes (returns?) at the Home Depot. Why?)
Question:	can it be used for wood doors and frames for hinges
Answer:	Yes, but it is a much better used as router than a door or frame hinge.
Question:	Can I trim my toe nails with it
Answer:	I definitely would use a flush trim bit. A round over or rabbiting bit might be too much. IMO

The original flavor can be harsh especially for kids and young adults.

User questions & answers

Question:	When mounted in a router table, how easy is it to adjust the bit height
Answer:	I have this router mounted on a Legacy Mill, which is obviously different from a router table, but it is still very easy to adjust the bit height. The nice thing is that there is a very precise locking mechanism for the plunge lever, so it is easy to select the proper depth.
Question:	Does this router work with the Makita Track the same as their track saw uses
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Is the variable speed worrh the extra money over Makitas other model without vs
Answer:	Yes. Spend the money. If you want to use large bits or large diameter bits, you can slow the router down, which makes the tool much safer and the machining much more relaxed.
Question:	Where is this router made
Answer:	Says made in Japan on the box. I was blown away considering there are crappy routers from triton for similar money.

User questions & answers

Question:	what edge guide fits plunge base
Answer:	The DW6913 Universal Edge Guide with Dust Collection is designed for use with all DEWALT® routers.
Question:	I just ordered dewalt dwp611. would dewalt plunge compact(dnp
Answer:	Yes, I have the same part on mine.
Question:	Has anyone tried to work this on a dwe
Answer:	I have not; however, the diameter of the 6000 appears to be the same as the 611. Id you are able. Bring your 600 to a local hardware/home improvement store that sells Dewalt and see if the base of the 611 fits the 6000. if it does, the DNP612 should work. The body of the 611 just sets down into the plunge base and does not thread, so the threading is not engaged. The base just clamps onto the body of the router.
Question:	Does anyone know if this plunge base will fit the cordless DCW600 compact router
Answer:	Yes, they fit perfectly. I took a chance and bought the DNP612 to use on my DCW600 cordless compact router and, unless there's something I'm not seeing, they are compatible. I wish they'd just tell you that in the specs. Last time I looked, this info wasn't really available.

Product description

Turn your corded Dremel rotary tool into a compact plunge router – and cut perfect decorative edges, straight slots or rout freehand. Plunge feature lets you start your cut in the middle of your workpiece. Ideal for woodworking, making inlays in furniture, musical instruments and wood crafts.

Anyone who's ever used a router understands the satisfaction that a cleanly cut rabbet or mortise can give. But if you're working on small-scale projects, such as jewelry boxes or models, that monster three-horsepower fixed-base router with the 1/2-inch bit is simply overkill.

That's where the Dremel 335 comes in. This plunge-router adapter is meant to be used with the Dremel rotary tools (models 400, 398, 395, 300, 285, and 275), which accommodate 1/8-inch diameter bits. If you already own one of these tools, buying the attachment is a great way to get an instant router without having to shell out the extra forty or fifty bucks for a single-purpose machine (that may be too big for what you're doing anyway).

Assembling the attachment is simple: just remove the housing cap from your Dremel, reassemble the collet nut, then place the tool into the router attachment. The tool is secured in the attachment with a mounting nut and wrench (both included).

The attachment features two plunge depths, which are locked in via a rotary hand grip. Setting routing depth can be a little tricky: it's a good idea to practice on scrap until you get a feel for it. The clear base gives you good stability and lets you see exactly what you're doing, as does the narrow profile of the Dremel tool itself. The attachment also includes an adjustable edge guide that works very well.

If you're working on small projects are willing to experiment with the settings, this is the router for you.--Josh Dettweiler

User questions & answers

Question:	can this be used tomake hinge slots in a door. If so what bit would I need
Answer:	I've used the plunge router to make recesses for door handles on sliding doors and this would work very well for mortising out door hinges. It's all about the depth that you set the plunger at. I did one practice mortise before trying it on my expensive doors and it was really like cutting through butter. Any of the router bits should work. I'm currently using the Dremel 650 1/8 Staight Routing Bit, because that was recommended to me. I'm so pleased with this plunge router attachment. Now I need to find some other projects to work on.
Question:	Will it work with other brand rotary tools (specifically Black and Decker
Answer:	It will if you cut off the lower section of the plunge attachment that holds the big attachment nut. Then you place the Black & Decker RTX in place and turn the Dremel nut nut upside down. This allows the nut threads to connect to the RTX. The Dremel and the Black & Decker attachment nuts are the same thread. They are just shaped different on the outside. Now you will have to remove the RTX from the plunge attachment to install tools in chuck but that is no big deal.
Question:	will this work with the dremel
Answer:	I use a 4000 works perfect. I do NOT see any reason it should NOT work with the 3000. NOT tried it BUT used to have a 3000.

User questions & answers

Question:	what does the fraction behind the model number mean? like the 5/40 after the
Answer:	In the 4300-5/40 the first number is the model number of the tool (4300) the second number indicates how many attachments are included (5) and the third number is how many accessories are included with the kit (40).
Question:	When changing tools, does this model have a push button release or a spring release
Answer:	There is a button to hold on to the rotary unit. But, you need to use the wrench that comes with the tool to release the bits.
Question:	Is there a grinder attachment that will cut stone tile
Answer:	The 4300 High Performance Rotary Tool could do some cutting in stone tile with a EZ545 diamond wheel (requires an EZ402 Mandrel). We would also recommend considering a 575 Right Angle attachment to offset from the diameter of the tool when cutting. This recommended wheels should be run in excess of 18,000 - 20,000 RPM and is designed to make small cuts in tile suitable for foot traffic.
Question:	Will this be able to clean my teeth and ears
Answer:	You know it. Take it from me it works great for this. I use it on all my family , friends and by golly our pets too. Use to use those green 3 m or scotch brite pads to brush with. It would bring some of the white back. Especially from behind your bottom front teeth. But it left crud all along the gum line. Til i broke out my dremel stuck it in a zip lock bag poked just the tip out (get it just the tip lol) anyhow grab a diamond tip engraving bit and go for it. I myself am getting a groove around each tooth because i do my own. But the wives and their kids i can do perfect. Even put the LA Dodgers logo on my oldest sons front tooth. Now when he eats food gets stuck in there and you can see it perfect. Thinking about opening a business doing that on the west coast. Kinda like the capping the teeth they do back east. Da ya think ir would take off? Interested in talking to investors. Hmu
