I have to do some very small things from time to time and the adjustments are tiny. I found the dremel tool jig made by the musical instrument building site Stewart Macdonald to be very helpful.

Take a look at the tools they feature for guitar work and maybe it will be useful for something you are working. I have the tool they feature at this address and I really like it. I didn't think I would use it that much but once I had it, I am putting the holder to work quite often.

Might help

10 years ago, that was over a hundred dollars!

Here is a cheaper alternative:

It is still $100 for the complete set. But, now they sell the base seperately.

Thanks Joe and Mike. I can see the bigger base and plunge option working for some small inlay stuff. At 25 bucks its tough to beat.

I used a simple scraper to put the small channel on the hoops in the past. With the dremel, I can cut the channel quickly with the tiny straight bit. I have been using the StewMac tool but I think the one Joe shows would work.

I have the plunge base for the dremel and recently purchased this which is quite flexible.

When you are through monkeying around with Dremel move on up to the best Proxxon. Made in Germany with the highest quality.

That one is a Dremel, I also have a Milescraft that works surprisingly well, but the best one is an all metal German made ROTOZIP which they don't make anymore.

I have the one from Stew-Mac referenced above, but here is another high-end one from Lee Valley Tools. $169 for what you see. I just wish someone had small LED lights with a gooseneck end that can focus added illumination on the work area.

I have both the drill press and plunge base.There's quite a bit of flex in both but it is still usable.I was surprised how much it can be used for.
I also have a fixed base for a rotozip that is useful when more power is needed for smaller spaces where a router is too big.

Check with Klingspore. At one time thay had a little led light on a goose neck.

Go to: www.inlaybanding.com an click on the "Miscellaneous Stuff" button. You will find an LED light on a gooseneck. You will also find router bits for your Dremel as well as lots of inlay materials.
