Question 2

will this work with the dremel 3000?

Accepted Answer

I use a 4000  works perfect. I do NOT see any reason it should NOT work with the 3000. NOT tried it BUT used to have a 3000.

Question 3

can this be used tomake hinge slots in a door. If so what bit would I need?

Accepted Answer

I've used the plunge router to make recesses for door handles on sliding doors and this would work very well for mortising out door hinges.  It's all about the depth that you set the plunger at.  I did one practice mortise before trying it on my expensive doors and it was really like cutting through butter.  Any of the router bits should work.  I'm currently using the Dremel 650 1/8 Staight Routing Bit, because that was recommended to me.  I'm so pleased with this plunge router attachment.  Now I need to find some other projects to work on.

Question 4

Will it work with other brand rotary tools (specifically Black and Decker)?

Accepted Answer

It will if you cut off the lower section of the plunge attachment that holds the big attachment nut. Then you place the Black & Decker RTX in place and turn the Dremel nut nut upside down. This allows the nut threads to connect to the RTX. The Dremel and the Black & Decker attachment nuts are the same thread. They are just shaped different on the outside. Now you will have to remove the RTX from the plunge attachment to install tools in chuck but that is no big deal.
