Anybody make their own router base for a dremel for routing for inlays? I'd like to see pics so I can make one for my dremel. Thanks Rich |

Martin, have you looked at Madinter recently? They now sell, what seems to be the same Dremel attachments; base, circle cutter, edge guide as SM do. Colin |

I just use the stewmac one. It work very well and is worth the price IMO. I kicked the idea of making one around but decided that it was probably less expensive to buy a ready made one, and it saved time too. I like making my own stuff, but sometimes it is just more practical to purchase a ready made unit. |

I also use the StewMac base. I also have made a second base for mine, without the cut-out in front. I used the Dremel/router base to cut binding channels on my mandolin pegheads, and needed more support area than the standard baseplate provided. Made a replacement out of model aircraft plywood, and the problem was solved. Will now make one of aluminum. Another thing - if you're using the edge guide on the StewMac router base on something that's relatively thin (like, say, a mandolin peghead) the edge guide hangs too far beneath the surface of the base to be useful. At the hardware store I found a nylon spacer I could cut to use as a smaller roller guide, and a #4 screw with a nut, and reverse the edge guide roller so it extends upwards from the little support arm instead of below it. This prevented me having to spend $38 on the new adjustable StewMac binding routing attachment. |
