That looks nice? But what is it??
Its called in tramway circles a GCG, groove cutting guide/gizmo/gadget? when its seen screwed to the base of a Dremel router its use becomes obvious, doesn?t it? In use it?s guided along the inside edge of the rail on the 2 brass pins and the carbide cutter cuts away the material forming the groove for the wheel flange to run in. Being a carbide cutter it will be used to form the groove when the space between and around the rails is macadamised or paved or whatever granite setts always look nice?

You people are toooooo kind.... Then again some of you could rip this idea off and make a fortune from it :rofl:.....
Wait till you see how Im going to make the granite setts to pave my roads with so that I can cut the grooves in them..... Same technique as is used to make stamped concrete. Thats a big business in Australia... Im just going to minaturise it to suit my purposes....
I confess I did try the Dremel grout remover and its no good in this application
