Good attachment (for what it is)
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.

Works very well with a little practice
I had several doors sticking that I had tried to free up using a file and then a sander without much luck. The planer takes a little practice, but can achieve excellent results on both hardwood and softer woods. I ran it at max speed and was able to control it easily after awhile. It doesn't take off too much at one time and you can scribe a line and true up areas if you need. All in all it has worked very well for me and saved a great deal of time.

Tends to make a mess of a door edge
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 :).

Great tool
I own this planer attachment since it came on the market and have meanwhile two. It is the perfect tool for doors that jam or sag a little bit. This tool alone makes it worthwhile to buy the Dremel 400.

A very neat little gadget to have around, works well on doors and edges of boards that need leveling
