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
