Testing Router Bits With The Dremel 4000

This video will show you the cutting power and performance of the routing bits for the Dremel. We will use these routing bits to do a cut in a softer wood like pine and a harder wood like pine.

The routing bits can be used with most Dremel rotary tools, but they will perform better with the more powerful models like the Dremel 3000, Dremel 4000, Dremel 4300, Dremel 8220, or Dremel 8260.

You will also need some sort of cutting guide to keep the bits at 90 degrees to the wood and make a clean cut. In this video I'm using the Dremel cutting guide 565, using the Dremel plunge router 335 is even better.

I have to mention that I'm pretty new to using a router and routing bits. So you can probably make a cleaner cut than me. Expect some user errors, this video is just to show you what you can expect of the bits.

I have the Dremel Trio for some years now, with no use at all.
Now that I need to do some routing, I found this video very helpful.
Thanks for sharing.

always a challenge cutting when you get to the end of a board especially for the less experienced. i find that just putting a scrap piece of wood of the same size at the end works great. avoid the bit "jump"

0:52 On the outside of the wood, go counterclockwise (in a hole in a plank clockwise). That gives way better/smoother results

I was so looking at buying a router for myself but thought it is too expensive for how much I would have time to use it.
Then I ordered myself a Dremel 4250 because engraving can do at home so it got me so happy when I realised it can be used as a router as well.

Thanks for sharing!

The only video for this attachment that isn't useless, man the frustration has ended finally

[agamemnonatreus]

i have few dremels and too many bits was thinking of using it instead of buying a small router to drill couple of channels in a broken guitar neck your video helped really and i'll use the dremel for that task with a mahogany neck ...
Thank you

[rajwalldorf]

Very helpful video. Unlike some others where a lot of talk but no clarification like in your video. Thanks.

[mikefinley]

Let it cut, don't push so fast you get cleaner cuts and avoid some tear. Thumbs up

[MrRobertf]

Now that's how you do a demo video, well done. I will be ordering a set of these bits

[andysr]

Very very helpful. I've had the same set of bits for a while now but had no idea how to use them. Thanks for the super informative video!!🙏🏽

Bought my first Dremel 6 months ago with these bits however I only played about with them last week just as you’re doing here. I was well impressed with them…totally recommend 🤓

[synthesizerisking]

Very interesting to see what these bits can do in an actual demo process....Thanks😁😁😁

[robertedwards]

Thx for the vid . Very useful info. Robbbert from Melbourne Australia. Have a great one and stay safe.

[aremdvnasophia]

Thanks for video demonstration. Was hoping for final thought at end of video. I'll be ordering the bits.

[kmwrites]

I think a slower push would make a cleaner cut but really liked seeing the variety of the bits' outcomes.

[puzzlering]

Thank you for this interesting and very informative video, I have just found your channel and have subscribed.
Thank you again

Great demo that brought a lot of clarity - thanks!

[lsseaside]

I found they came out pretty good on the pine is what I was curious about! Thanks for your video

[bingefox]

On the Rebate Oak test the where some chips on the edges. Masking tape would help but on the Cove oak test the splinters where in the center. Thanks for the test.

Thank you for this video it is perfect for what I was needing
