Also interested in keeping up with this as I was about to do the same with an old Dremel Roto-Zip.

Hey, that's pretty cool. Curious how it works for you!

I have mounted a normal router on my table and it is a great addition. I would suggest using a trim router in place of a Dremel, the shape would make it easier to mount and it would have more power. Plus it uses a 1/4" bit which are available with sharp tips.

The trim router is THE way to go for sure! I was considering the dremel (roto zip, not a standard dremel) only because I have one already

It's very similar to a trim router and can use .250 bits. I tried to get the harbor freight one but every HF near me was out of the 'good' model as they were on clearance. I suspect they are coming out with a new model soon, that's what they normally do once they clearance out something.

My table is set up for a router as well (Makita Rt0701C) I'm wanting to use it in rotary action on metal, letters,logos,numbers etc etc.. Does any know what bits I should be looking at or where to get them? !/4 shank, just the bits no housing. I have never tried as I'm new so any additional info would be much appreciated

Very informative for aluminum, but for steel I'm looking to do rotary scribing type work. or should I just be using drag bits? Sorry if I misguided but still very informative. thanks for the vid acourtjester.

Cheers!
