Since I'm too cheap to buy a proper router for the tiny woodworking things I do, I figured I'd make an attachment for my Dremel instead.
The orange collar screws onto the Dremel in place of the factory one, the blue base spins onto that, then an M5 set screw/grub screw (or a machine screw if that's all you have on hand) stops things from rotating when you don't want them to. The two parts mate with a 2mm thread pitch and there are flats for the set screw every 90° on the collar, translating to height adjustment in 0.5mm increments just by winding the base up and down the collar. There's also some flats at the top end of the collar in case it gets jammed onto the Dremel and needs “persuasion” to detach.
Obviously you don't have to print the two parts in contrasting colours, but I found it makes it easy to see the relationship between the two parts at a glance.
Mine is printed in PLA since initial attempts in PETG didn't do well at printing usable threads. 2mm layer height, 4 walls, probably 25% infill.
Note that the threads may be excessively stiff when they're fresh off the printer, but wind them through each other a few times and they'll start to loosen up.
