 Par for the course Dremel attachement Jan 04, 2009
By Mood
Makes reasonably quick work of trimming a door edge that rubs, but doing a neat job takes some practice. Heavy touch up sanding will be required.
This Dremel attachment is like every other Dremel attachment I have been suckered into buying, it is clearly designed by bean counters. It works just good enough that I would feel bad about throwing it out. For $20, it is a nice tool to have, but I would gladly pay more for one that had a better guide and did a neater job.
A couple specific gripes:
1. The 1/64th depth isn't off by a bit, it is off by a factor of 4. It planes nearly a 1/16th off per pass. I'm still trying to figure out how they came up with the 1/64th number.
2. The guide is useless, it is up to the user to attempt to keep the tool flat on the surface. This takes some practice and will result in some gouges and uneven planed surfaces that need to be smoothed off with sanding.

 Tends to make a mess of a door edge Mar 12, 2008
By buddha-dog
This tool embodies a great concept, and who wouldn't want to dispatch that sticking door problem with five minutes effort and a quick vacuuming?
But I was disappointed with the performance of the tool, mostly because of two factors.
1. The cut on each pass is fairly deep, maybe as much as 3/32".
2. The right-angle plate that's supposed to help you keep the tool square to the face of the door is way too short to be effective.
Consequently, blending the cut from one pass into the next is effectively impossible. If you make three overlapping cuts, you will get three clearly visible steps in the cut. And by visible, I mean visible when you're looking at the face of the door, not just looking up close at the edge or top.
Also, especially because of the weight of the tool pulling down on one side, it's extremely challenging to keep the cut perpendicular to the face. Expect a wavy edge that's also visible when looking at the door face.
On the positive side, it did fix the problem. I just wished when I was done that I took the time to scribe the door, take it down, and plane it. Something told me this tool would be too good to be true, but I guess hope springs eternal :).

 Good attachment (for what it is) Jul 13, 2008
By John
No, you won't be doing any fine woodworking with this Dremel XPR attachment. But for twenty bucks, it makes awfully quick work of planing the bottom of a door so that it closes. I recently did a bathroom tile project, and needed to take just a tiny bit off a section of a door. The planer attachment certainly did the job.
It does make a lot of dust/mess, and the guide is far from perfect in keeping you at 90 degrees to the door. Overall, however, it's worth the money.

 WARNING: For 400 XPR Rotary Tool ONLY Dec 28, 2008
By LazyBoy
I bought this not realizing it wouldn't work with other Dremel brand tools. My fault. Just wanted to warn others.

Handy tool Jun 03, 2010
By L. A. Nickles
"Teacher and Healer"
Used this to grind down a sticking door, and adjust the size a different door that I was about to hang, with great success. I recommend that you take a few minutes to get a feel for the balance of the tool before getting started or you WILL get a wavy cut. It gets a 4 instead of a 5 because it leaves 'pass marks' that have to be sanded out or neatened up with a block plane.
Would have liked to see a depth adjustment on this plane, but I am very happy with it.
