Thanks again Bob. Man....that looks like some work but you certainly did a fine job. Toilet paper and all

I found where Hartville Tool sells the Milescraft Spirocraft and Inlay kit for $32.95 for both kits!! That is an incredible price. Basically get the Inlay set for free and then some. It's on my list. I haven't decided, I want a little bosch but I think another plunge router is needed for this really. I will put both on my list and see what the wife ops for. I can get a Pat Warner offset base that will hold the pc guides just like the one on my Dewalt that I bought for it. He makes nice bases.
Anyway, we will see what Santa comes up with

Thanks BJ for all the help!

Hi Mike. I didn't see the templates you speak of but I have used my Dremel in the router base quite a bit and used it to make signs free hand, carve away backgrounds etc. I used to make firewood boxes that were meant to sit near a fire place. They were made of oak and then i would use the dremel in the router base and carve landscape scenes around the sides of them so they looked nice. Rural people liked them alot with barn scenes etc. on them. Wish I still had one to show. Inlaws used one for about 10 years.

You're Welcome Corey

Did you see the TP in the snapshot of the plunge base ? hahahahahahaha LOL
Dam stamped plastic parts but the TP works as a quick fix.

Just a Note about the base, It's the ONLY one I have that will let me set it at 0 to 45deg. and still plunge in with the motor,that comes in handy sometimes

I also have a air router that I use for the MilesCraft templates because it has a small base that's needed sometimes on small box lids.

Have a good weekend

Hi Corey

Here's a snapshot or two of the other routers I use on the MilesCraft templates.

I'm not sure if you have seen a Air Router but just for kicks I put in a snapshot of it.
It's a Sioux Die Grinder on Stroids,20,000 rpm, see PDF file below

The instrucrtions in the template kit are the part of value. The templates are simple letters or designs printed on heavy stock. You make copies of them and cut them out and trace your design onto the tile or wood. I bought my kit at Lowes, but any place that sells RotoZip can order them.

**challagan** · 12-03-2006, 09:26 PM

Very nice set up Bob! I like that. Just how many routers do you have?

That is why I want the Bosch, a little router like tht would be nice. We will see. Thanks for all your help in this. I am hoping the wife picks up the Milescraft sets for that price! I might get their plung base for the dremel later. I have on that isn't plunge that I have done relief work with but the plunge would be nice. Later, got to ice down my back again! On going back/nerve problem flaring up. Just what I need in the middle of Christmas and the kitchen remodel!

Hi Corey

"Just how many routers do you have? " = Well at last count 14 counting the Dremel plunge routers and Dremel router table setup, as you can see I like routers

and what they can do.

Take it easy and have a good week
