Hmm sweet...thaz exactly what i want it for...speaker rings

I have a Dremel and thinking to buy the router attachment...but i dunno if those bits could handle "tough" work like a dedicated router will.

i have a dremel too - wouldnt give it hard work to do nah since dem things really made for delicate fine jobs

have a 2hp B&D plunge router a few yrs now - works good for d $ , good for d house holder but a pro who uses it often will want a better unit .....

Rovin one quick question, what kinda clamps you using with the spirit level?...also what length level i should get?

I notice the cheaper chinese levels made of thin aluminium, i thinking a too strong clamp would bend it, so i might use C-clamps
