Great for scroll cuts in Plexiglass and others too!
By Britabroad on Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2011
This is a well made versatile tool. I purchased the Trio in order to cut some 12" diameter holes in particle board (like the peg board material but without the holes!). I purchased this kit because the circle guide was included and it did a great job. I found it useful to move the handle into the inline position (push the round blue button) which made cutting the holes easier. The tool is quieter than I expected and felt very controllable. I was able to plunge the bit into my work piece by using the heel of the base as a pivot on the particle board. There was a slight "fuzz" left on the edge of the particle board where I had made the cut but this was easily removed with a sharp knife. I also used the Trio to make some real clean edged cuts in some 1/4" Plexiglass. I was really impressed as I cannot think of another tool that would do a clean scroll cut in Plexiglass! There was a slight build up of shavings on one edge of the Plexiglass but this was easy to break off by hand leaving a really clean edge. I would recommend this tool if you have to do scroll cuts in a variety of materials. Please note that the bits have a 3/16" shank which is larger than other Dremel bits.

Don't bother getting this

Here's the deal...I purchased it thinking it was the latest and greatest since my older Dremel was just that...OLD. I failed to read the fine print to learn that none of my bits would work on it. This needs special bits and they are hard and expensive to come by. To add insult to injury, it seized up on me during the first few minutes I used it when freehanding an outlet in sheetrock. Dremel replaced it but I had to use my old Dremel to finish the garage until my replacement came 2 weeks later.
