This is an in-depth review and tutorial of the Dremel router accessories. In theory, these allow you to translate your Dremel into a router, adding even more functionality.

The results are a real mixed bag. These are budget friendly accessories, but are NOT a good substitute for a real router. These are good for very specific things, the plunge router more so than the table.

- Plunge 6/10 - If you already have a Dremel, this is a decent accessory to add. It does cut circles decently in thinner materials (I tested up to 1/4in Oak)

- Table 3/10 - Not worth the money unless you build very small, model train or car type projects, that use softer woods and smaller pieces.

The plunge router is good for circle cutting, decent for putting on light chamfers, and ok at light inlay waste removal work.

The table is, at best, something that might be attractive to people who build small scale model scenery, or work with smaller pieces. I will likely never use it again.

If you do not own a Dremel, and think this might be an affordable way to get a smaller router, with a table and plunge base, skip these, and buy a proper trim/palm router. You will have a much larger variety if bits, more access to accessories, and the power, even just in a trim router, is significantly more.
