I was sifting through some rotary tool videos to get some ideas for what to use them for, and I can't believe how many 15 minute videos I came across that gave 45 seconds of actual useful information. Your video is by far the best one I've come across so far, and I just thought I'd let you know you did a great job. It presented your creation well, and it didn't include unnecessary footage. It was nicely cut and edited. Solid work. Thanks for the great idea and quality video.
Simple and easy solution for a very complex problem(how to guide a router), I was looking for a router base since last two years, many youtuber made very elegant and professional looking bases, but your's is simple and it works. Thanks for sharing.
I can remember when a 3 1/2 Hp router was the thing to have. All of them have downsized, and with great success. It's items like this, that make something like a Dremel into a woodworking MONSTER. Awesome post, thanks.
Very nice idea.. I was about to buy a router. Now I will use my Dremel instead ...You saved me ....
I just got the materials and built my self one of these and I love it. So much fun to play with and works great for mortise get hinges for my jewelry BOXS I make, every woodworker needs to make one of these.
That's awesome!
Very good job!!! Thank you for share your tips. Greetings from Brazil!!!
really like the animated dimensions
+Paul Adams (The Handmade Fisherman) Thanks! They are a bit of work to make but I think they add a nice touch.
+Makify1 what video editor You use?
Adobe Premiere Pro CC
i know Im asking randomly but does someone know a trick to log back into an instagram account??
I was dumb forgot my login password. I love any help you can offer me!
@Johnny Abdullah Instablaster ;)
Very nice , simple , straight forward and well conveyed - and it works !!
Just what I was looking for to help control the cost of my current project. Thanks.
Good job. Liked the added measurement graphics. And laughed at the outtakes!
Awesome..getting into hobbies these days and this will help
It's a simple tool, clear and clever. You shared a very good idea. Well done.
Thanks!
Great project !! Simple, Efficient and fast. Congratulations!!
if you used reletively stiff springs in place of the bottom nuts, you would only have to turn the wing nuts to adjust it. the only downside is that you would not be able to lean on it(leaning on it is stupid anyway though).
Very nice video! Thank you for making it. I liked your idea of using a piece of wood to push the piece while using band saw.
Great video, deserve a thumbs up
This video is very cool.. i love simplicity 😎👍👍
This is the first/only video I've seen of yours but it's clear you're amazing. Uploading videos like these is an act of kindness to begin with but the quality and accuracy of the filming/editing/graphics, coupled with a fantastic and minimalistic idea is really helpful. Especially for someone like me who has owned a Dremel for about five months now and has yet to use it because I'm not exactly sure how to go about things the best way. This accessory is a perfect example of what I feel I need to make use of it. Thank you.
Wow, thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you found the video helpful.
Loved your presentation man.... Nice project, simple enough for amateurs like me. Thanks for the video.
Very simple and very effective! Just what I need. Thank you for sharing!
You're welcome. I'm glad you liked it!
Great video, and at the perfect time I need one. Thanks!
Cool and simple project. Nice vid.
That was awesome. I hope I can put this together and start to get some use out of my dremel.
You are a genius.
Very smart & easy/simple! Thanks 4sharing!
Thanks for sharing this idea. It's exactly what I was looking for!
I'm glad you found it helpful.
Great great video... Last 20 seconds are hilarious !
Amazing. Thank you for sharing
Your video made me subscribe immediately! Loved the idea!
nice build!!! I think I will find a good use for something like that. thanks for the plans!
Great project and very well made video!. I like your style of presentation, because it is clear and concise.
Subscribed.
Awesome! and really appreciate the free plans! thanks buddy
How i love these DIY videos ..........
thank you, thank you. I have been looking for away to use my Dremel to cut fret slots in the finger broad. This will work great with the jig I had made, but found I could not control the depth of the cut.
You're welcome. I'm glad it will help you.
it's comforting to know that you too have those crap rubber sanding attachments that dont expand properly and hold the sanding collor in place!
Those things are annoying. I end up tightening the screw down so hard to try to get the drum to hold the sandpaper that I end up having the hardest time getting it loose again.
Nice video. Good explanation.
Will see if I can get a couple of.these threaded collars cos I also would try one in a removable plate to make a pin router as well as your plunge router. Should be a LOT easier for working on guitar mods than a full blown router.
gracias mi hermano saludes
Bruh, Whenever Your Done Building An Your Sighning Off i Can't Help But Shout "BLOOPERS!!!" in My Head 😂, Great Vidz👊
ha ha ha! That's great.
dude that freaking awesome!
The most amazing thing is you didn't get any epoxy on your fingers! How do you do it??
Cool project. You'll have to show it in action
Thank you so much.
Excellent!
You obviously have a large fan base but it could be four times larger.
Most people that have this much equipment can complete this task you’ve shown already have enough experience to do this on their own. I think with you approaching the dialogue and the title of the video as a how to your kind of insulting some people that could be your fan. If you approached it as a vlog and a (what I’m doing this week) video then your fan base just quadruples. Right now you only have a small amount of people that fit your kind of niche. And that niche is people that have the equipment but don’t know how to construct something on their own, which isn’t very likely. And I’m not sure if you noticed this but tutorial videos are not a thing anymore. People just discuss their life and what they are doing. So just approach your videos like a diary or a (I overcome this challenge and I’ve learned a new skill) kind of video, versus a how to tutorials.
One part of the process that can be improved: when drilling countersunk holes, drill the widest, shallowest ones first, so there is still material in the center to hold the drill bit tip when you drill the narrower holes and the through holes.
Great video ; )
I must applaud you, your video is very easy to watch. Let me explain what I mean by that.
So many people post poor videos that are not thought out. Adding a voice over to follow step by step instructions is less disrupting than hearing background noise of a TV, children or a squawking bird. Taking the time to write a script and recording a voice over is hands down more pleasing to the ear than listening to the constant "Uh, yea" or "Umm". Believe me, I know that from personal experience. Many years ago I was on the radio talking about my then business and listening back to the audio tape was horrific, I must have said "Umm" at least 30 times in 3 minutes.
Thank you for sharing your skills and your delivery of how to duplicate them.
+TheVelvetteButterfly I'm glad you like the way I make videos. I really appreciate the compliment. Thank you!
I've been looking everywhere for some 3/4-12 fittings! People are using dremels for so many things, someone should get a tap and die and just sell dremel adapters
Just like Rick James
I would give you three thumbs
👍 👍 👍 up
Nice!! I have a similar nut and thought of making this kind of device but I've never actually needed it so far so it was on my waiting line! cool to see it done! :DD I was a bit worried about being wobbly (back and forth) but yours looks steady so I might try that soon! thanks!
+Cactus! workshop If I give it some force I can get the base to warp a little bit. A thicker base or a piece of wood in the back connecting the two sides would fix that issue. I haven't noticed any flexing in use though.
That's how to do a video. Pay attention. No lecture, no autobiography, no condescending know it all goof ball, just right to the tutorial. Even sped up the obvious parts. Now all I need is a tutorial for making a band saw.
Thank u soo much best idea ♥️
i dont peak english pero es tan explicativo el vídeo que lo haré muchas gracias desde peru
Gracias
That's (dremel) cannibalism... kinky. I have the imitation dremel ... I watched so.many YT tonight until I found yours- simple, elegant and effective - really appreciate it!! Cheers.
That should be very handy for upcoming inlay work. Oh, and you had mentioned file size and storage issues...I saw in a Casey Neistat video that he has a 20TB array just for his vlogs. ;)
+Bruce A. Ulrich Woah! That would be nice. Making a 7-15 minute video every day must fill up hard drive space fast!
I looked up the cost...$1500! Ouch!
Wow. Super simple idea. Thanks for sharing. Will make one soon.
Just a thought, can you not do the same with a drill using router bits?
Drill don't spin nearly as fast as rotary tools or routers and their motors aren't designed to withstand much lateral force.
I see. cheers for the answer!
Great instruction...and the out-takes were fun to watch. Cheers!
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!

*Thanos voice* I used the Dremel to modify the Dremel.
Acrylic is much softer than polycarbonate and scratches quite easily. Pay the extra money and get polycarbonate or Lexan which is GE's trademark name for it.
awesome vid!!! Thanks for sharing.
I'm glad you liked it!
Wonderful but I'm a bit confused.
To do this project as you've done it I would have to buy a bunch of tools that would far exceed the cost of the Dremel attachment.
I think I'll just buy the Dremel Router Attachment.
My Dremel didn't come with a plastic fitting that I would never use. What do you suggest?
I have to make something too, no one supplies it as far as I know.
I built a clamp for a Bevel bit after it nearly burned out my drill. They require too much pressure and do not have the accuracy and take 10 times longer. Bevel's are not suited for drill's. After I built the clamp and rotated it by hand it was amazing how quick it works and I can put full pressure on it. It aches the hands though it saves your drill.
I love your idea for the Dremel Router! Thank you for your idea, and for your time in explaining. Oh, and when I d/l the plans, your 'take-out' video was hysterical! I really like a person who can share his foibles and laugh at himself! Thanks again.
I'm glad you liked the video/project/outtakes :)
Brilliant
excellent workmanship, so clean, Thanks for showing how things can be done in a clean way :) Inspiring too.
I love it.

No clue what that means, but am gonna check out his ETSY site, even though I have negative feelings about that platform Hopefully, you will not understand what I am saying either, lol.
@@AZskylite old people are funny
what if that polycarbonite I do not have? Could I substitute thin plywood instead?
Can we make mini wood cutter machine with dremel with base and safety guard❓
This is awesome! I will try to make one, even though mine is only a Dremal wannabe!
For the nut on the collar I used the cap from a Tabasco bottle (wash hands afterwards)
Great video, thanks Vinnie. What bandsaw are you using?
+Dave Bublitz Thanks! It's a 10" Craftsman band saw, model 351.214000.
Late comment, I know, but thanks for the upload and idea!
Thanks for the video, Vinny.
Do you use the bits that came with your Dremel, or the router bits?
+DIY giveaways & tutorials Both but I'm still trying to figure out which bit(s) work best with the base.
Love it...Need one my self...Thanks for sharing
I like it! What's your band saw?
Craftsman 10-inch model 351.214
Hai, i lost my mini drill's coller can you give me an i die to replace it or make one????
You can buy that sacrified shiled on aliexpress for about $2
Thanks for information. 👍
Great DIY clip but I don't have the threaded collar or the tools to make the wide bore hole. When you figure in the cost of materials, time, and labor for this project you'll actually save time, frustration, and money by just ordering the Precision Router Base for the Dremel tool from Stewart-MacDonald.
I gotta disagree. If you aren't sure you will be using it very often this is a good way to go - and my fellow packrats probably have most (or all) of what they need in the shop already. As for time... Why does anyone do anything theirself? This is probably a 1-2 hour project at Most. So unless you earn $30 / hr you should come out ok on it. If not you still get the priceless joy of making something useful.
murphy's law say ,'Simple is best' [I don't remember what # that one was] , Since you're on a roll , next one for others [I don't have the means to publish] could be a 'plunge ' version of the same . With the little duty of 'Dremels' [used them for 50 + years , 6-8 models ], near burning out a few ], maybe a better choice would be a trim router , since now powerful little ones are all over the place .
my first model was the #260 , and went up from there to the b.b. models . These were when B&D biggest router was just a weak 1/4" fixed base model , in fact no one ever hear of a plunge router until the late 70's .
Having this many tools, I would just go and buy it ;-))))
lucky you!! Not everyone is in your position. So you've nothing positive to say about the project?
Great 👍 video. I liked the bloopers at the end. Keeping it real lol 😂.
The trick is .. if you have already that much tools, you probably already have a router or laminate trimmer..
Deez nuts! Thanks dude!
Nice job
curious why you used plexiglassi could see using it if u didnt cut it out to see wood
One of the easiest Dremel homemade accessory instructions I've come across. You've just saved me about $30. The best part is the final dust collector enhancement. It beats the original. Thanks man! Thumbs up!
I'm glad you liked it! The dust collection is really quite nice if I have to say so myself.

Nice build. Saw this and adapted to my B&D Wizard rotary. Works great. But now searching for best bits to use for scribing.
Someone below mentions springs to keep from having to use the nuts. While you can still use the nuts for fixed depths, you could also incorporate the springs to make a plunge router base. Voila!
.. nice and simple !!! ... U made a great tool !!!
Absolutely awesome thanks. Just an idea- what about putting wingnuts above and below the wood cross piece- would that make it easier to raise and lower the Dremel, this being able to do deeper cuts.
Nice idea. What kind of accessories can use in the dremel? Sorry about my english I'm from Chile
Hello again, I was reading in the comments that you are using a 10" Craftsman band saw. I have one, too and am having a hard time locating good saw blade replacements. Where do you buy your saw blades? Thanks!
I use Timber Wolf blades from Suffolk Machinery (www.suffolkmachinery.com). I heard about Timber Wolf blades from Jimmy DiResta, if you know who he is. I've bought a couple different blades from them and have been happy with all of them. I'm currently using a 3/16" wide, 10 tpi, 0.025" thick blade and it works well as a general purpose blade at least for the kinds of cuts I make most often.
Hello. First to thank you on great video tip, and for free plans. Realy thank you. Now I need advice. Today I bought a new dremmel, but I did not get the plastic part for the sacrifice. Is there a way to use a collar, or some other way? Maybe with a wooden mold? Or if has a buy a plastic part on ebay? I realy dont know...
The thread is 3/4" x 12 tpi so if you can find a bolt of that size, which can be difficult, you can use that instead.
I found it on ebay: www.ebay.com/itm/262852993791 Thanks again. It's great tutorial.
I found it on Amazon for around $5 as well. I did not get it in my original purchase of my Dremel.
cool vid man! i just bought a dermel tool for projects. just as a hobby..see what i can make..first timer
Are there any ways to set up this kind of Dremel router to follow a pattern? What I mean is, sometimes router bits will have a little bearing and collar that'll run around a template without cutting into it. I ask because I want to make several identical cuts, and my freehand skills are not the greatest.
