You can do just about anything with them.  I&#8217;ve used mine to install a camera in my helmet, cut a notch out of a door, sand stuff, cut stuff, grind stuff, drill stuff.  Love it.<\/p>\n<p>So anyway, I bought this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/tg\/detail\/-\/B0000302Y9\/\">Dremel Router Table<\/a> thing.  It seemed like a great idea.  Well the thing has some serious design flaws.  First of all the arm that hold the tool isn&#8217;t as sturdy as it probably should be.  Second, all the sawdust from the piece you&#8217;re working on fall right down into the tool.  I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;d be that hard to have the router bit have a flat disc at the bottom that would help cover the gap.  I burnt up 2 Dremels trying to use this stupid thing.  Hate it.  Don&#8217;t buy it.<\/p>\n<p>Dremel gives you a 5 year warranty, but I had no receipt for it (was a gift about 4 years ago)  But I decided to send it to them anyway.  I sent a little note expressing my extreme dissatisfaction, explaining the flaws I saw in the stupid router table, and telling them what I&#8217;d do to fix it (I always have people who know nothing about my job telling me how to do my job, I thought I&#8217;d try it once.)  It was delivered to their service center Monday morning.  Wednesday when I got home from work, there was a brand new one sitting on my front porch.  Rock.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, in case you&#8217;re wondering about the second one I destroyed &#8211; I had bought that one after the first one bit the dust.  I just returned it to the store a day later.<\/p>\n<p>In other news&#8230; I have a new phone.  Well, it&#8217;s the same phone, but hopefully this one actually works better. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s all very confusing.
