I built mine with an adjustable compass point in the base so I can rout semi-circular recesses for inlay. (Editor's note: see the stringing on the "Inlay Door With a Router" for an example of this). The backbone of the tool is a piece of wood 3/4" x 31/2" x 9". To make the channel that the plunging mechanism rides in, glue and screw Vk" x 2" x 9" strips to the edges of the backbone. Then glue Vi" x Vi" x 81/4" strips to the inside of the Vs" strips. The plunging mechanism is an "L"-shape. One wing of the "L" (3/4" x 31/2" x 31/2") holds the Dremel, the other rides in the channel. The Dremel is held in place in a 17/8" hole lined with a piece of leather. The Dremel is held fast by cutting a kerf in the wing that intersects the hole for the Dremel. Then drill a hole through the wing and insert a 4" stove bolt and put a wing nut on the end. Tighten the wing nut, and the bolt closes the kerf. Like a plunge router, you need a return spring to lift the tool out of a cut. Rout a groove through the backbone. Screw one end of a spring to the backbone and the other to the plunging mechanism, which is attached through your groove. The depth stop is a piece of wood that rides in the channel and is held in place by a wing nut and bolt that also ride in the groove in the backbone. Finally, make the adjustable compass by first routing a /8" x /8" groove in the 3/4" x x 5" base). Rout a groove through a piece of wood 1/2" x 5/8" x 3". Drive a brad through one end as a pivot point. Attach the compass to the base with a flat-head screw. William Adsit Milford, Illinois CASH AND PRIZES FOR YOUR TRICKS AND TIPS!
