Saw a number of such routers but with all of them I had problems with routing a straight edge. So I designed one from scratch with a straight edge. Also made mine height adjustable using an insert (inner).

To use simply insert the inner into the outer and line up the groove in the inner with the screw hole. Insert a 4mm nut into the slot provided and use a 4mm screw. Screw the inner onto the Dremel head as shown and you can now adjust the height to your depth of cut by tightening the screw.

If you really need to see the markings, print in Black and paint the provided markings with white paint or print in any light colour and paint the markings in black.

To cut straight, simply fix a ruler or any straight edge and then run the flat surface along it as shown.
