Proxxon Micro Plunge Router for Miniature Work

I haven't tried a router this small (1/5 HP), but it sure does look like a good size for model and automaton making. This little router allows you to round-over, slot, counter bore, and remove stock from wood and other materials.

Some details on the router from Woodcraft:

* Depth adjustment of 0.008" increments
* Easy router bit changing with the shaft lock button
* Support columns are positioned so you can see as you cut
* Integrated suction device for connecting to a vacuum
* Parallel and circle jig made of die-cast aluminum
* Die-cast aluminum base and smooth gliding polycarbonate face
* Includes 6 pc. collet set
* Comes in plastic case

Proxxon Micro Shaper - small scale router table

Often, full size woodworking tools are just too big or too powerful for working on small scale projects such as an automaton. Fortunately, companies such as Proxxon make power woodworking tools for small scale projects. I've posted in the past about the Proxxon Miniature Tables saw and the Proxxon Miniature Miter Saw -- both of which I own. Here is The Proxxon Micro Shaper, a small router table that takes 1/8" bits -- perfect for minature-making and other small-scale woodworking projects.

From the Product Literature:
This miniature router table is the perfect sized machine for small-scale routing and trimming applications. Ideal for model building such as railroads, airplanes, doll houses and more! Features powerful 115V, 60Hz, 1/8 HP motor.

I can assure you that Proxxon tools are very well made and will surprise you with their performance.

Here is where you can check out the Proxxon Micro Shaper.

Proxxon Precision Drill/Grinder set

Proxxon Precision Drill/Grinder
Precision drill/grinder is ideal for milling, drilling, grinding, polishing, brushing, cleaning, deburring, sawing, carving, engraving, rust removal and more!

Proxxon Router Base Attachment
If you make small boxes, frames or furniture, this router base attachment is the right tool for you! Great for routing slots, notches, grooves, edges and profiles with or without the fence or circle attachment (both included).

UPDATE: The set is no longer available, but here's where you can get the Proxxon 38481 IB/E Professional Rotary Tool. I sort of guessing it might work with the Dremel 335-01 Plunge Router Attachment
