Post subject:  DIY precision router base and circle cutter
Just wanted to post a pic of the precision router base and circle cutter I put together. The router support is tapped for a dremel. Just move the router support and the threaded rods between the router base and the circle cutter. The only thing not shown is a knob to tighten the circle cutter diameter adjustment pin.

Just looking for some feedback and thoughts.

Going to try it out routing for my first rosette installation next week.

Looks really good! [:Y:]
I bought mine in UK, but would have made one if I thought I could have made as good a job as your one looks to be.
Only thing I might suggest is the wing nuts you are using for depth adjustment might be a little tricky to adjust evenly - mine has large brass wheels with milled edges for fingertip fine adjustment.
Should easy for a man of your resourcefullness to make something similars for yours, if you find it a little tricky
I like the use of see-though plastic, mine is all metal.
