I wanted to route some shelf brackets in detail and figured my dremel would do the job with a cutting base. The bit set matched my Dremel perfectly, although to be honest they were a bit dull and tended to burn the wood. I also had to cut some hinges in my cabinet doors and this is where the Dremel and router combination shone. On shallow grooves, this worked like a charm and made the job painless. I would clamp a piece of wood on either side of the front cabinet frame and use that as a guide for the dremel (also using the cutting base). I don't think I would have gotten the same consistent results with a chisel. Overall very happy with this purchase.
