who likes Dremel tools?
TOK:
They make a little router attachment for it that is nice for doing really precise work, like if you wanted to flush mount something like a track ball mounting plate.
I used mine with the router attachment to flush mount the plates for the joysticks (I top mounted and put overlay over them) because I didn't have a regular router then. It was a bit time consuming but very easy to make exact cuts.

yeah time consuming. I think it's tougher to get a nice strait line with such a small bit, though, so I prefer a real router for routing.
I has come in handy, though.

I recently made a gate for our front porch and used the dremel plus the router attachement to mortice the hinges. Worked like a champ. Love that tool.
Oh, an also a few months back my neighbor had some knucklehead install a fence between our properties. After he was finished there were 100's of nail points sticking through facing my yard. Nice. The dremel and a few metal cutting wheels did the trick in a snap.
(Of course I dumped all the nail-heads in the contractor's driveway...)
:)
mahuti:
You dremeled 100s of nail heads?
I would have just hamered them back out :D
I used the router attachment to do some door hinges & latch holes for my front door when I redid it. Easier than using a real router on that one.

I would have but I like my neighbor, not the contractor.
