Precision Router Base – StewMac

Precision Router Base

A more stable way to support your Dremel. Our sturdy, compact base is the best way to hold a Dremel for freehand routing, inlaying, widening fret slots and more.

Made of machined steel, brass and aluminum, it features precision cutting depth adjustment with large thumbwheels to eliminate guesswork.

Designed especially for stringed instrument work.
• Excellent control
• Easy installation
• Accurate freehand routing

Sturdy, compact, and adjustable.
Each turn of the large knurled thumbwheels adjusts your Dremel’s cutting depth by .035″ (.889mm). You can rout an inlay cavity that’s precisely compensated for the thickness of the pearl and glue, for less sanding later.

Tall twin handles give you excellent control for freehand routing, and you get a good view of your work. There’s even a built-in nozzle for attaching a mini air pump to continuously blow away the dust—you’ll rout inlay cavities more precisely, for a better fit requiring less filler.

And here’s a tip from Dan Erlewine: clamp the Dremel and router base upside-down on your workbench, and use the bottom of the router base as a mini drum sander, as Dan Erlewine did for a Gibson L-1 archtop bridge in this issue of our Trade Secrets Newsletter.

Installation is easy.
Simply unscrew the threaded plastic collar on the nose of the Dremel, and screw on the Precision Router Base. Its 3/4-12 thread fits:
• Dremel 100, Dremel 4000, 400XPR, Professional, MultiPro™ and most corded models made since 1986
• Black & Decker Wizard™ and RTX™
• Our Foredom custom handpiece
