Anyone here have experience of the Proxxon MOF Micro Router? - precision collets, 130 watt (1/5 hp), 27,500 rpm.

I'm thinking of maybe using this with a Wells/Karol circle jig.

The name catgut is confusing. There are two explanations for the mix up.

Catgut is an abbreviation of the word cattle gut. Gut strings are made from sheep or goat intestines, in the past even from horse, mule or donkey intestines.

Otherwise it could be from the word kitgut or kitstring. Kit meant fiddle, not kitten.

Well, I don't know what those stats mean, but it looks even less powerful than a dremel. I know I want to upgrade to a laminate trimmer for rosettes. Tired of nursing the dremel...

I have an old PC and a Makita and neither one of them has a good micro adjust height base. That seems to be the bane of lamiate trimmers. Only one I see as working is a larger DeWalt with radial groove in the plastic (?) housing...
Don't mind the slow work of the Stew-Mac rosette cutter myself because it has a micro adjust height, but if I were to ever switch, I probably would go to a drill press type fly cutter and a VG drill press.

The Ridgid's have an excellent micro adjust. I want a setup that I can use with it...

I use one for all my rosette work, way better than dremel. I was using a bosh lam router before but love the Proxxion. It's important to me to be able to use the 1/8" in multi faceted router bits. They never tearout or do anything bad. I realize I could simply get a 1/8" collet for the bosh but the proxxion is just right for the job.
