Default Thought This Was An Interesting Tool...

A precision plunge base for the rotary tool. Pricey but I bet it works well. After a second look it doesn't look like a plunger though.

And other accessories:

Then I found this baby, I am sure it is awesome but incredibley pricey! Made for the luthier industry primarily.

The Stew-Mac precision base is very nice. It is not a plunger. I use mine for inlay and other luthier tasks. The depth setting is very accurate. Sure beats the plastic Dremel router base.

Dave, having declared my poor maths skills, I hate to point out that there is a missing decimal point in you're conversion. I'm not being a smart a..e, just showing that I do read you're posts.
