Veritas Plunge Base for Rotary Tools

[BadBob]

I just read a rather lengthy topic about using a plunge router base for Dremel tools. A rotary tool base that no one mentioned was the Veritas Plunge Base for Rotary Tools. This one has been on my wish list for a while. Not only is it a precision made tool, but it is more versatile. It's a bit pricey, and if all you do is scrollwork, it is probably massive overkill.

Thanks for that link Bob,

Considering the quality it is a fair price. I have the Dremel version, it works but is a bit loosy goosy. 

The Veritas dremel setup would be great for small projects. I use a Bosch Colt as most of my projects require more beef.

I had not seen that tool.However, I have the Veritas bench grinder jig which is very nicely made. I can only assume their other tools are as good.

Lee Valley also has free shipping at this time.

The veritas tools are first rate and Lee Valley will stand behind their tools 100%.

Interesting and I may look at for drilling holes in the middle of big projects.

Thanks for posting

I have several Veritas/Lee Valley tools. Planes, marking knives, awls, marking gauges, and saws. Probably some others they are first-class tools. I like the router base because experience with there tools tells me that this one will be first class.

I also have some Stew Mac tools because I have guitars. They are not in the same category as Veritas; I have sent things back to them for a refund.  When I pay premium prices for a tool, I expect to get a premium tool.

I have had Dremel tools for years. They work, but their accessories leave a lot to be desired. I have one in their drill press stand. I will not use it unless I need to drill a hole that is so small I can't mount it in a chuck. The slop in the stand annoys me, but it will drill the holes.
