Dremel 231 Shaper/Router Table

Dremel 231 Shaper/Router Table Review



Dremel 231 Shaper/Router Table Feature

  • Convert your DREMEL corded rotary tool into a bench mounted wood shaper
  • Features an adjustable fence and a large 8- by 6-inch work table
  • Slot, groove, sand and trim edges
  • MultiPro tool not included
  • For use with rotary tool models 275, 285, 395 and 398
Gain the flexibility and precision you need to shape, detail, and sand a variety of soft and hard woods with the Dremel 231 Shaper/Router Table. Ideal for those who use their Dremel corded rotary tool to help complete crafts, hobbies, and light-duty renovation projects, the 231 features an adjustable fence to tackle everything from making notches and grooves in a wooden frame to constructing an architectural model. For added convenience, it fits Dremel rotary tool models 400, 398, 395, 300, 285, 275, 200, and 100 (tool not included).


The 231 holds your rotary tool in place under the table for easy slotting, trimming, grooving, and sanding. View larger.
Slot, Groove, Sand, and Trim
The 231 Shaper/Router table extends and enhances the versatility of your Dremel rotary tool, so it can help you take on any project you dream up. Building furniture for a dollhouse? Restoring vintage wooden frames? Engraving letters or designs in soft wood? The 231 lets you tackle this kind of detailed work with ease. It's also excellent for architectural models and scale model making because it's designed to keep pieces and materials organized as you work. Additionally, the 231 gives you the flexibility to handle every step of the construction process in one place, minimizing clutter and lost parts.

Smooth Tabletop Surface for a Variety of Jobs
The 231 has a smooth tabletop surface for easy slotting, edge trimming, grooving, and sanding of both common and less traditional shapes, making it a great choice for model making, decorative trim work, or detailed edging projects. And because it gives you a dedicated and steady place to work, this table is also a must-have for anyone who uses their Dremel rotary tool for routing applications.

Straightforward Operation
Operation is simple: the 231 holds your rotary tool securely in place under the table so you can mount whichever shaping bit you're using directly in it. Routing is fast and easy, even for small dado grooves with a straight bit. Sanding is equally effortless -- simply put in a sanding drum and position your materials directly against it. Convenient plastic knobs lend durability and ensure a comfortable grip, and a screwdriver slot makes for efficient tool assembly and depth adjustment, so you're able to complete your project in one place. For added peace of mind, the adjustable fence ensures proper wood placement as it passes through the bit.

Compact, Portable, and Easy to Store
Measuring 8 x 6 inches, the worktable gives you ample space and yet is compact enough to fit in a small or over-crowded workspace or shop. Its small size allows it to be stored in a corner or cabinet, and it's compact enough for easy portability. Finally, the 231 is much more affordable than a complete router table, making it an economical choice.

We will admit that we think these rotary tools are some of the coolest things around; you can do so many things with them. But once we saw this attachment, we were blown away. If you don't have the money or the space (or the inclination) to set up a whole router table assembly in your home or shop, but you still want to put decorative edges on wood projects, this is absolutely the ticket. It holds the tool under the table, and you mount your shaping bit in it. Turn it on, run your piece against the stationary tool, and your edge is routed. It also works great for small dado grooves with a straight bit. The new table surface is even smoother than before, and it's plenty big enough for small craft projects. It's also a great setup for sanding: Just chuck in a sanding drum and move your workpiece against it. If you've got a rotary tool, get this.

    Dremel MM40 Multi-Max
    The MM40 Multi-Max's Quick Change system makes it easier than ever for users to switch accessories (click each to enlarge).
    Powerful Performance
    The MM40 model of the Multi-Max is equipped with a 2.5-amp motor, making it more powerful than prior models of Dremel’s oscillating tools and immensely improving optimal performance. This Multi-Max can make faster, more precise cuts in a vast range of materials thanks to its variable-speed capability (10,000 to 21,000 oscillations per minute). A separate on/off switch and speed control maintain speed settings for ease of use and consistently ideal speed settings; the soft-start feature diminishes sudden starts and affords users a feeling of control as the tool ramps up to the preferred speed. And the electric feedback system gives users the confidence to power through tough applications.

    Versatility
    All Dremel oscillating accessories are compatible with the Multi-Max MM40, further expanding the variety of applications it can handily tackle—plus, there are now larger accessories that are built to handle the MM40’s increased performance. The MM40’s superior blades—featuring expanded cutting width and depth that enables users to cut through more material in less time—make precise cuts through sturdy materials such as hardwoods, framing lumber, and two-by-fours. Its pioneering Quick Lock accessory-change system swiftly and securely expedites accessory changes without a hex wrench and removes the need to worry about losing the tool’s screw and washer. That, combined with the Quick Fit interface, means that users can swap accessories twice as fast as with comparable oscillating tool systems—translating to more efficiently completed projects.

    Functionality
    The Multi-Max MM40 was specially designed with user comfort and functionality in mind. To that end, strategically placed vent locations and a larger fan keep the tool running smoothly and coolly—making use over longer periods of time more comfortable than ever. Its ergonomic design features a narrowed soft-grip zone and a lightweight body (it weighs only 3.2 pounds) that make it a snap to reach into tight work spaces. And the generous seven-foot rubber cord permits users to manage the tool easily while cutting, scraping, sanding, grinding, or otherwise working with the job at hand.
