No routing or cutting is necessary - only drilling. Then finish drilling the hole using the smaller drill bit.įollow the above instructions for the Back Panel. Here’s a tip - if you don’t have access to a drill press to counter sink the holes, use the 1/4” drill bit to first drill into the wood just enough for the counter sink. Note that if you are planning to build this project using only Dremel tools and accessories you will need the Dremel Brad Point Drill Bit Set for the 5/32” and 1/4” drill holes / counter sinks. Once you are finished routing, drill the holes using the appropriate bits (labeled on the template). The template was designed so the Dremel tool and Mini Saw accessory will fit snug, so continue working the edges until they are just able to slide through the top plate. If you do not own one of these attachments, then use a jig saw or other means of cutting the wood. Put an indentation into the wood to help steady the drill bit when you start to drill the holes.Ĭlamp the panel down and route out the area you traced using a Dremel Plunge Router or Dremel Multi Purpose Cutting Kit (follow the instructions for those tools using appropriate routing techniques) (2). Use a punch, nail, or screw to mark the drill holes. Secure it with some scotch tape or simply hold it in place while tracing the outline of the Dremel and Mini Saw Attachment (1). Select one of the 10” panels (cut from the 1x8x4) to be your table top and lay the template over it. Cut the template along the boarder and also cut along the dashed line for the Dremel and Mini Saw Attachment. The faded lines in each template represent items on the opposite side of the viewing perspective (as if the template were transparent). There is also a faded solid line that represents the pipe strap that will be mounted underneath the Mini Saw Attachment between it’s directional guide and coupling (see Mini Saw Attachment operating instructions). Starting with the Table Top template you will notice a bold boarder, several faded dashed lines, some drill hole placements and a bold dashed line that represents the cutout for the Dremel rotary tool and Mini Saw Attachment. For best results print the templates on 100 pound card stock. Once you have all the wood cut to length, print out the templates and look through them. Step Two - Cutting / Drilling the Table Top and Back Panel: This will require the need for an additional drill (preferably drill press) that can handle standard 1/4” drill bits or 1/4” tapered counter sink bits. The Dremel Brad Bits are not tapered and Dremel does not currently make a tapered 1/4” drill bit with a 1/8” shank.
