Miniature Power Tools

Has anyone had experience with the miniature routers that Rutlands (and
others, I suppose) sells? I'm specializing into small trinket boxes
(oak, walnut, utili, etc.) and this looks like it would be a very
useful tool IF it performs.

Thanx

Proxxon makes some decent tools. I have a few pieces and they are very
accurate and well made in my opinion. They can get pricey but I think you
would be happy with them.

Do you mean the small one hand type routers?

I borrowed my neighbors Porter Cable mini router. Worked like a charm
for the roundover work I was doing.

No, I mean the even smaller model-sized ones like this!

I have a Dremel XPR 400 Series Rotary Tool, the 231 Shaper/Router Table,
and the 335 Plunge Router Attachment plus various small router bits. So
far the tool has been great for working on small projects.
