The Dremel 335 Router base attachment is imprecise and not robust enough.
So why not adapt the 3 or 4 router bases of Makita RT0700C & clones for the Dremel mototool?

I turned the prototype adaptor in hardwood. Will make a metal one soon.

My ONE adapter makes me able to use all 3 bases that I already have.
1. Plunge base
2. Fixed base
3. Tilt base
PLUS the straight guide & circle guide and trimmer guide of my trimmer-router which I already have. Also the set of 10 Porter-Cable type guide bushings that can fit those bases that I already have.

Using the same idea, I will be adapting my Dremel mototool to use the "43mm collar" type Drill press that I also already have.
(I am just waiting for a M19x2mm tap I ordered to arrive).
