To early to tell

I like the design haven’t had the need to use it yet from what I can see looks good. Price not much different from on line.

Great accessory

Bought this for my Dremel so I could carve stars into my burnt American flags I make. It turned a all day project into a 1-2 hour project!

A Must Have!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The plunge router attachment is such a great addition to our Dremel tool collection. I knew that it would come in handy for jobs that required this specific type of tool, but now I'm realizing all of the different possibilities in our crafting and woodworking as well. It's of good quality, and it's easy to use and adjust. I would recommend it to any do-it-yourselfer or woodworker.

Nifty little attachment, but not quite a home run.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was pretty excited to get my plunge router attachment in the mail and get to work. In the past I've had to borrow a router to finish the projects I was working on. Out of the box, the plunge router attachment is ready to use for free hand routing, but needs just a little assembly to use the two included guides that can be attached to the base. An edge guide and circular guide is included and the booklet that comes in the box does a good job o...

Not as handy as i hoped

Would Not Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was not very impressed with the Dremel 335-01 plunge router attachment. It was not as easy to use as the instructions made it out to be. It was difficult changing bits while the Dremel tool was in the plunge router attachment (PRA) . The shaft lock button was very difficult to press when changing bits. It was much easier to take the whole Dremel tool out of the attachment and change the bits and reassemble it than to change the bit while ...

You get what you pay for...

Would Not Recommend

I bought this a few months ago at my local store, and just had a chance to use it today. It seemed like a great deal. I planned to use it to do inlay work. The spring is too strong, the depth stop is inaccurate, and inconsistent, and it is just a rather crude tool. Good idea, but it is all plastic, and pretty sloppy. I should have known, you get what you pay for. It is a nice try, but pretty much useless. Do they think someone is going to use their dremel tool to do heavy duty routing? I...

A good tool to have on hand for small jobs

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I felt like this attachment worked well with the Dremel tools that I have an it was easy to use with them. The only complaint I had was getting everything setup properly since I don't really have the perfect space to be able to do that in so had to make some adjustments as required. This worked for the project I needed it for which was making some faux picture frame trim edges to trim out some rectangular shelves I built for the wall of a nur...

Handy accessory

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this and started using to work on a light house I was building. Came in handy straightening some cutouts and rounding the edges off. Was nice to have a router for the jobs that a regular router would work for. Easy setup installing the Dremel tool. The plunge action is a nice function but very touchy has to go straight up and down or it jams. The Dremel is easy to remove for regular usage. The lock down for the side gauge is too close to ...

Great tool!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tool is awesome! It helps to add flare to any piece of wood work. It is simple to use, and setup. I can see many more future uses for this product. It even works with the 8v Dremel too. Great to not have to worry about cords, although the workload for that tool while using this router was a little much at times. Otherwise this tool is well worth buying!

An awesome addition to my tool kit!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been wanting a router for a while now to work on projects but lacked room for a large unit. Glad I found out about the Dremel Plunge Router - its the perfect size for small projects. I opened the package, read the easy to follow basic set up instructions, and made my first cuts in minutes. The unit is light weight, but solid. I had no issues maneuvering the unit in freehand cuts. I loved that it came with an edge guide which will be ...

Great control for the plunge cut

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This plunge router system was very easy to set up and control. The depth was easily set and the knob was easy to operate. The handles were well placed for control. I used both the edge guide as well as free hand. The edge guide was also easy to adjust and kept the router bit in place -- no slippage. I especially liked the depth adjustment -- I'll be using this to set inlays in my future woodworking. I have a hand held router that I've use...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had never used a router of any kind before so i was excited to get the 335-01 Plunge Router Attachment and try it out. I found it a bit rough at first getting used to how it worked, but it did not take to long before i had it mastered and started making and using for lots of wood projects and dressing up things with all the different bits that are available for it. I have a lot of future plans for it. I think the 335-01 Plunge Router Attachm...

One of the BEST attachments for the Dremel 3000!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely LOVE this product!!! This really is an asset for any craftsman!! This attachment is so versatile, and very essential if you do any type of wood crafting. It cuts circles, and arcs with precision. You can use templates, and cut out inlay designs, as well as letters precisely into wood. With guide bushings you are able to get really precise work. You can also freehand with this router, and make any design with your skill. I LOVE th...

makes etching and engraving easier

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With the plunge router attachment, it was easier and smoother to etch and engrave. It was more steady than just by hand. It took a minimal learning curve but you can quickly adjust and the outcome is great.

So portable

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow, received this the other day, and boy does it make things easier. Before this, I either had to bring out a larger router, or do things freehand. Well, I thought I was decent at going freehand, but after using this, and comparing results, I was wrong. This router is very useful, especially for small detail work. It's fairly simple to use, and adjust as needed.
