The missing link for your Dremel

Precision Router Base


We're proud that this versatile attachment has become a must-have in guitar shops. It's a StewMac exclusive, designed and refined right here, and it's made the Dremel a more versatile and accurate guitar shop tool than ever before.

Do better-looking pearl inlay jobs. Clean or widen fret slots without tedious sawing. Perform light-duty routing with precise, reliable depth control. Our all-metal Precision Router Base attachment gives your Dremel no-wobble stability and more accurate depth adjustment than the stock plastic router base. We gave it a compact, easier to use size, and designed it to work seamlessly with other specialty jigs as well.

Instructions
Perform more accurate routing without guesswork.
This is a high quality tool, made of durable machined steel, brass and aluminum. No plastic! Each turn of the large knurled thumbwheels adjusts your Dremel's cutting depth by .035" (.889mm). You can rout an inlay cavity that's precisely compensated for the thickness of the pearl and glue, for less sanding later. Tall twin handles give you excellent control for freehand routing, and you get a good view of your work. There's even a built-in nozzle for attaching a mini air pump to continuously blow away the dust—you'll rout inlay cavities more precisely, for a better fit requiring less filler.

Make your Dremel a more versatile guitar shop tool.
The Precision Router Base is a direct fit on our attachments:

Use your Dremel to cut clean binding channels up to 3/8" thick.

And here's a tip from Dan Erlewine: clamp the Dremel and router base upside-down on your workbench, and use the bottom of the router base as a mini drum sander, as Dan Erlewine did for a Gibson L-1 archtop bridge in this issue of our Trade Secrets Newsletter.

Installation is easy.
Simply unscrew the threaded plastic collar on the nose of the Dremel, and screw on the Precision Router Base. Its 3/4-12 thread fits:
Dremel 4000, 400XPR, Professional, MultiPro and most corded models made since 1986
Black & Decker Wizard and RTX
Our Foredom custom handpiece

Very good tool

First i tried to make my own router base, but after some time i saved the money for the original. Today i think, that it's every dollar worth. My favorite Stewmac product.

Great Tool!

Very stable base for inlay work, the price is a little bit high, but worth it for the precision machining.

Favorite Tool

Buy It right now-the Stew-Mac Foredom handpiece with the router base is the best of the best. Leaps and bounds more control and feel than when used with the dremel! I own the Bosch Colt, 4 Dremels, a Festool router, Bishop Cochran base, etc and this is my favorite detail tool!
