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.

What’s in the Box
Shaper/router table and instruction sheet. The loop with adjustable knob is no longer required-the rotary tool just screws into the table. The clamp knob is included as part of the table.

A nice accessory– with limitations This is a valuable accessory for your Dremel tool, but it does have some limitations you need to recognize and live within.It’s good at cutting dadoes and doing edging, but not in hard woods. Rotary tools work at high speed, but with low torque. They just cannot churn their way through something like oak. Even with soft woods, it’s best to make deep cuts in several shallow passes.Deep cuts will generate considerable sawdust, which falls down into the tool. I can see that this could damage the tool over time. I deal with this issue by using my regular router for extensive dust-generating work. Again, you need to live within the limitations of your tool.As with all rotary tool operations, sharp bits are essential. The high-speed, low-torque operation means that they, in effect, shave material away, much like a dentist’s drill. If you try to just grind away, the tool will bog down and/or the bits will dull quickly. Unfortunately, the best…
