Dremel work station
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I love this tool i got it because i figured a small drill press could be handy.
how ever I have never used it as a drill press, I have used it as a flex shaft holder (which is part of it’s job) and as a holder for the dremel so i could hold the work piece and not the dremel in grinding operation.
It seems to serve the purpose of about 3 other tools, I recommend getting some clamps to use for it though, it’s a little top heavy with the dremel suspended.
the crows nest really helps with keeping bits and collets organized
looks nice

Dremel 220-01 Rotary Tool Work Station
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Now here is a real work horse! It can be used as a drill press for fine work; use a jig, set it in the horizontal position and cut-off steel wire (or pipe if you need to) at precise measurements. I used it on my Radio Control Boat building to shorten the motor drive shaft (stainless steel) by 1 5/8″ then soften the cut edge.
While jigs are necessary for a lot of work and the work station must be fastened down for safety, the right jig and your imagination are the only limits I can think of. I’m going to try some routing by building a base with a 90 degree fence and router bit slot and make some fancy cuts using the Dremel router bits (just watch direction of feed, just like a big router)!
Work station works!

I own the early Dremel drill press so I so have something to campare this tool to.
I’m pleased with the work station, being able to use the radial function is a big help (drilling at 45 degrees) and for real heavy drilling I have a larger drilll press to use also. This tool is a bargain for the price, it really shines when working on small wooden parts for scale model boats and by rotating it on the tower tube one can drill into larger projects off the work table very easily. Bolt it down!

Very happy with how fast it shipped and quality of unit.
Assembly instructions leave a lot to be desired but by using the internet everything came together so to speak.
Works well so far, only had the unit a week.

It is made in China…..Does anybody else get tired of everything we purchase now days coming from China? Enough!!!!!!!!!
horrible documentation bad set up
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
Decent product once you set the thing up. However, the documentation is horrible and set up is less than intuitive. If you are short a piece, especially a small one, it’s very very hard to tell. While the tool itself seems to work o.k. (nothing special), the shoddy support for the product – even in documentation – warrants a low rating and a warning to buyers. Be prepared to figure it out and just toss the POS manual since it does more harm than good.
Rotary Tool Stand
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Had to make a few modifications for it to hold a rotary tool other than a Dremel. Other than that, works fine.
I wish I’d never bought it.
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I bought this work station & a dremel to go with it to use as a PRECISION drill press for handcrafting jewellery. This was to accompany the Italian flex shaft I already own.
Intending to accurately drill holes in Sterling Silver & Gold, I have tried this many times now to no avail. There is too much movement in the work station to accurately do anything. And yes my Dremel work station is bolted to my work bench.
While the work station can be manipulated in many ways/heights & angles these adjustments become inaccurate upon tightening up the thumb screws to lock these positions in. There is so much movement in the tightening, that you never get close to what you were aiming for by the time it is secure enough to use.
As well as this the ‘pull down leaver’ is spongy and has side to side movement during the last centimetre or so of travel – no hole is ever drilled exactly in the planned position.
The spongy pull down leaver also has a spring return, which initially looked usefull – until you drill many holes in sequence, then it just becomes irritating having the leaver spring-back EVERY time.
Finally the changing of bits (I am using .8mm twist bits) is slow and cumbersome as you need to swing the drill to the side just to get enough room to manipulate the chuck release etc. The chuck release is hard to access as it is recessed back from the nose of the drill press (where the dremel screws into the drill press assembly)
Overall I was looking forward to having a micro-drill press when I bough these 2 items from Bunnings a few months back. Since then I have become frustrated with this clumsy product and wish I’d never bought it. Basically the tolerances are too wide and NOT for delicate metal work.
Good for some applications…difficult to install Dremel body
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
After spending time this weekend working on various projects with my Dremel, I feel I have to give my opinion with this work station. The main problem for me was installing and then removing the Dremel body (I have a Dremel Multi-Pro Model 395). Knowing limitations would occur unless attached to a proper base, I expected a few problems when doing some drilling in various densities of items. Yet, it wasn’t as bad as some other reviewers state. Knowing that cost often reflects in quality, but in this case if used correctly this is a good work station. No it doesn’t do everything, so use the CORRECT tool for the job. Many expect the Dremel (and accessories) to be the best for nearly every job…this is not the case. I’ve learned working in a professional scientific/preparation laboratory that often other tools do a better job than the one you initially gravitate towards or are more familiar or is easier (in general) to use. For instance, an air driven tool may really do a better job at etching/carving in certain matrices and the same goes for using a heavy duty drill press. Therefore – price 5 stars, installation of tool 2 stars, applications 3 stars…so I feel a 3 to 3.5 star rating is my ranking of this product. Overall, I am glad to have it when I need it.
