All is in the title... The threads seem to be different... It's a Dremel 400, 2010...

It's a Dremel 400 XPR, exactly. Anybody had this problem?

I had a similar problem with my old dremel...multipro395. It fit the threads but the chuck stuck out too far. I couldn't raise it up enough to use it.
I got a model 300 now that fits fine. I think stew mac has a list of dremels that fit it

I have the same Dremel and mine fits OK. I bought my StewMac base more that a year ago...I wonder if they have changed it since then.

if it's just a bit loose you could always try some plumber's teflon tape...

No, it just don't get it. But I found a solution; not a really fancy one, but it works. I forced it, and the plastic thread took the shape of the metal one laughing6-hehe . I cannot fit any other dremel accessories, but I don't care, I never use them.

But I still don't understand the problem.

Check and see if they sent you the base for the Foredom unit by mistake....

Edit - Oh, wait, they custom thread the Foredom unit to fit the Precision Router Base - so they are the same!! Maybe you just got a badly threaded one....

Cheers,
Dave F.
