Review on πŸͺš Dremel 231 Shaper Router Table: Optimize Your Woodworking with Precision and Ease by Jacob Andreti

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Poor tolerances/quality control.

A very frustrating experience. I was hoping to make my Dremel 300 more versatile by buying a router/router table but the build quality was not up to the mark. The spring of the adjustment screw was caught in the plastic making it impossible to screw it in to install the Dremel. I ended up having to find needle nose pliers to loosen it and bend it to the side. Is the story over? no After installation, I found to my chagrin that the mount wasn't perfectly vertical. It was about 2-3 degrees when I compare my cutter at right angles to an engineering tool. So anything I did would be imperfect. It's a shame, I'd happily pay more for a cast/machined Dremel rig than a cheaper ABS. Hedge. Another hit and it will take too much effort to get it working, so I'd rather just buy a dedicated router to use elsewhere.

Pros
  • The compact router table makes it easy to cut, edging, grooving and/or sanding both regular and irregular shapes
Cons
  • Some little things
