ANOTHER NEW TOY

[amazingkevin]

This one makes me proud .I've been wanting one 3 years now .This is great for delicate fret work projects and such.Much lighter than a trim router or a horsepower regular router.It'll even take the battery powered dremil.My hope's of useing it as a tool to speed up cutting out patterns in wood rather than use a scroll saw.It sounds feesable.Problem is noise and the neighbors so timing is needed.I think i could save many hours on a big project with this.Any thoughts?I can't wait to rout some crosses and what have you to spruce them up a notch.

I just got that last month for my birthday. I've used it for half rounding thin stock.

 

The main purpose I wanted it was to be able to drill pilot holes in the center of large pieces of wood accurately. Not using a hand drill. My drill press only has a 4 inch throat so larger portraits had to be done by hand. If I stack cut them and the hole was crooked the blade would travel and mess up the bottom layer.

 

So far it works great.

Kevin, congrats on the new toy, what i use for drilling out pilot holes is a rotary tool with a drill bit 1/16th, works well, just gotta keep it somewhat straight. its quicker then using a drill or drill press

I have a router base for my dremel just not the plunge type. I use it a lot for small work when my regular router is to big to use.

I like Mikes idea of using it to drill holes with that a regular drill press can't get to. will have to look for one.
