Drill Press Rotary Tool Workstation Stand (220-01) | Accurate drilling and straight holes, Portable Drill Press, 2-Inch Depth, Compatible with Dremel Rotary Tools

Genuine Dremel - a bit tricky to assemble but a nice product at an amazing price to make drilling accurate. I tried assembling the stand from the drawings in the paper manual, but couldn't orient the pieces correctly using the manual. Then I found there were detailed written instructions; they made assembly much easier with minimal need to study the drawings. Of course none of this degrades the quality of the stand - it really is a nice addition to your Dremel toolkit. And it's not only Dremel who overly complicates assembly by the way - whoever makes those drawings is oblivious to the ability of someone who has never seen the product before, even if the customer has the mechanical knowledge to put things together. Why not an "exploded parts diagram"? One drawing with exploded parts (Sears Roebuck was doing this 60 years ago before computers) could be created in seconds, showing orientation and assembly without pages of pictures that don't make sense. One 'gotcha' to be aware of - the inner tube that holds the cord guide and hanger, locks with an innovative off-center plastic goodie by turning the tube - clockwise to lock and counterclockwise to unlock (righty-tighty; lefty-loosey). If you allow the tube to go down too far, you can't grab it to turn and loosen it. You have to turn the stand over and push the inner tube up from underneath, until you can grab it from above. Very minor issue, but good to be aware of. Beyond that minor irritation, the press is very, very nice; the tool fits into the holder accurately and drilling will be much moe precise than hand-holding the drill. I have to put 1/16" hole into a sheet metal weight for a model train, and locate the hole 1/16" from the edge of the weight for a #0-80 screw, which leaves only 1/32" "wall" on the hole. Of course I use a spring-loaded center punch to mark the location, and the Dremel to drill the hole. This press makes the hole dead-on. One final item is always wear safety glasses with this kind of equipment, and use some kind of coolant . Dremel's turn at up to 30,000 RPM, and if you break a drill the broken piece is very dangerous.

I love this press! I needed a press for my crafts and I already had a Dremel. It was a no brainer! This is my go-to for all my projects. Set up was a breeze. Changing bits was a wee bit difficult at first, but now easy peasy. Light weight and very portable. Love it!

I really love the versatility of this work station. It worked amazingly well for drilling a hole in a rock so that I could make a necklace. The crow's nest for bits is such a great idea. It makes it so much more fast and convenient when changing bits. It is very easy to insert the Dremel and I felt like it was very secure once screwed in. I also like that the Dremel can be turned at a 90 degree angle to the base to be used to sand and polish. It's super easy to raise and lower the Dremel along the shaft. The arm that lowers the head is very fluid and doesn't catch. It almost flows like butter. I'm sure that I will discover even more wonderful things as I continue to use the work station. Now to the reason it got only 4 stars. The rod that holds the Dremel while the flex shaft is attached swings around throwing the rest of the unit off balance. The whole unit fell over several times while I was working. It would be nice if it would lock into place so the cord wouldn't swing around causing the unit to go crashing off the table and nearly ruining my project. Of course, today was the first day that I used it and I may find that I am doing something wrong upon further inspection but, I gotta tell ya, I tried everything to figure out how to stop this. Even so, I would buy it again in a heartbeat. It is definitely worth the money. Oh... and if the design team reads this review... having someplace to mount a light would be nothing short of epic. I'm sure I'll figure out a fix for this too, in time.

Good: Sturdy and well-built. Lightweight; maybe a bit *too* light, you'll probably need to clamp it to the workbench. Smooth operation, with one minor exception (see below.) Tool and cord holders are a nice touch. Decent price for what you get. Bad: Properly seating my cordless Dremel tool in the socket took a little effort at first. I had to experiment with different orientations and move the tool around to get it to where the holding collar would tighten firmly. Once in place though it's solid, and once you figure out how to seat it it's reasonably easy to remove and insert again. I also kinda wish they offered collars for other tool makes/models. I originally wanted to use my corded Ryobi tool but the collar screw is too big. However, the cordless tool works well. I also wish they'd included some T-track hardware. My stuff is intended for full-size benchtop presses, and is quite awkward to use with this one. Bottom line: The complaints above are semi-nitpicks; I'm quite pleased with it. Five stars.

Perfect gift for a Dremel user who doesn’t already have it. (Especially if it’s not on their radar!) Fluid lever movement, with accurate 90-degree hole-drilling. (“Eyeballing it” while using a pin vise is not super successful.) I make miniatures, and this contraption is money well spent for both the drill press feature and as a third hand to hold the tool while sanding and grinding details. It also holds the Dremel securely while I use the smaller flex shaft, which is genius. I’ve owned a cordless model for 30+ years, but I received a nicer, corded one with the flex shaft from Santa two years ago. I couldn’t figure out how to manage the upgrade—this is it. And, FYI, both Dremels are compatible with this workstation—so it’s universal as far as working with the Dremel you have. I generally default to hand tools, but this stand makes using my corded Dremel so much less of a hassle. I love that it has a spot for the chuck wrenches and holes to hold a few bits. Note that this is meant to be mounted or clamped down to a table before using, and it does not come with those screws and clamps. It would be dangerous IMHO if unsecured. I mounted it to my workbench with four size 14 screws, and it’s not going anywhere.

So far, perfect for my needs. You're not going to be using this for commercial purposes, however, it's amazing for a hobbyist. My only critique is the assembly directions are a tad wonky (not hard, just weird). Some parts are made from hard ABS plastic while others are metal. The base is metal as well. You'd likely want to screw or clamp this down somewhere for stability or you may have issues. I'm currently using this with a model 3000 Dremel. The box that the workstation came in was moderately damaged (had a hole in it) but the parts inside were undamaged. Since this is a shipping issue and not a product issue, I'm not going to be like one of those idiots who dings a product in review for something that the seller or manufacturer had nothing to do with. You know the type, "My product came 2 days late! 1-star!" People don't care about your late shipment when reading these reviews, they want to know about the product itself. Anyways, the product is great. I'd buy it again if I had too. I have a feeling I won't need too.

This is my second Dremel work station Drill press I have owned. My first one was purchased around 20 years ago. I used it constantly and for unknown reasons it was lost when I moved 9 years ago. I noticed several very nice upgrades to this one that I was very happy to see Being able to rotate the tool head to be on a horizontal plane rather than always vertical is absolutely awesome. The construction is plastic and metal but in all the time I had and used my other one, I never had one issue with that. It is a light duty tool so your not using it as you would your stand up 5 horsepower drill press. It’s a Dremel tool powering it so the construction of this press is more than sufficient. The tolerances on it are very close so doing delicate work is made much easier with this press. As I mentioned, it is light duty work and it handles that job perfectly. I love the fact that a simple clamp can secure it to a bench top and it’s light enough to move it anywhere. This is actually one of my favorite tools in the shop. Fun and easy to use I’m so happy I have this back in my shop. It will get a workout. Highly recommend it.

I used this drill press (they call it a work station but really it's a drill press) a TON over the last few weeks. I've used it to make 8 cribbage boards (240+ holes in each board!) and a set of dominos. All in all I'd say I've drilled over 2,000 holes in the past 3 weeks. My impressions are that this is an absolutely essential little tool for anyone who has a Dremel, and even if you have the knockoff versions of Dremels, like the Chicago Electric tool, it really can't be beat. There are a couple little items to know though: First, there is a central bolt that holds your tool to the whole contraption, right at the center bottom. I would unscrew it and throw it out immediately. It should be replaced with a bolt of the same dimensions, only about 1/8" longer. The stock bolt just isnt long enough and rattled loose right when I first got it. It needs a bolt that isnt so short and has a few more threads and can be screwed in a little deeper. Luckily, if you're reading this, you're probably pretty handy and this is a super easy tweak that will help you a lot. Second, make sure your bits are absolutely straight and level in there. Because of the nature of how it drills, any travel will translate to funky holes or cuts on your finished product. You want to make sure you seat it properly before you fire it up. Third, I'd like to see some options for a fence on the baseplate. I had to fabricate my own using wood so that I had something to butt up against when drilling my holes. And ABSOLUTELY use some heavy duty hardware to bolt this thing down in place to your workbench. Aside from those small things, this has been an invaluable tool to add to my garage. I'm extremely pleased with performance, features (it's SUPER adjustable and can be endlessly tinkered with) and quality and price. Bravo Dremel.

Just received my workstation, which turns my rotary tool into a small drill press. I had no problem attaching my MasterCraft rotary tool to the unit; most - but not all - rotary tools use the removable collet cap, so most rotary tools can use this stand. It's important to note, however, that the combination of a rotary tool with the dremel workstation doesn't result in 'just' a drill press. Most regular drill presses have speeds ranging from 500 to 1500 RPM max. But rotary tools are typically in the 10,000 to 20,000 RPM range. This high speed allows you to do things - like drill holes in glass - that you'd have great difficulty in doing with a conventional drill press. So the combination of a high speed rotary tool with the functionality of a drill press really gives you a very unique tool. There really isn't anything else out there like this. There is a circular plastic stand near the top of the pole which Dremel refers to as the crowsnest; it's basically a place to store commonly used attachments, such as different collets to accommodate different sized drills. Unfortunately, there's no place to store the collet cap, which you removed from your rotary tool in order to attach it to the workstation. It would have been nice if they had thought of that. Something else that they might have done is cast V grooves in the aluminum base, which would have facilitated drilling into circular stock. The base does have 4 level grooves cut radially into the base, which permits the attachment of various attachments created by the owner. Vertical action is smooth and easily controlled; and there is an adjustable drill stop that allows you to make numerous holes of exactly the same depth. Similarly, the tool can be rotated from vertical to horizontal in 15 degree increments (but not to increments other than 15 degrees). When both rotational clamps are tightened - there are two, one on the rotating cuff itself and another on the plastic body - the tool is very secure. Given that the rotary tool is considerably heavier than the very light aluminum base, the assembly is top heavy, and even more so if you use the included rotary arm to keep the power cord out of the way. The instructions recommend using either c clamps to temporarily attach the base to a work table, or bolts in each of the 4 corners of the aluminum stand for a permanent installation. This is something you'll want to give some serious thought to. Some users have also mounted the unit on a square made of wood, which puts more weight at the bottom of the unit and increases the bases diameter, which makes the tool harder to tip. However you solve the problem, you should be aware that it's really easy to tip over, and that you shouldn't plan on frequent use of the tool without addressing the issue. In general, I'm very pleased with my unit. It's well made, and does everything I want it to do. If you have a need to drill a number of holes in specific and precise locations - I'm drilling holes in custom printed circuit boards - this stand is a great way to do exactly that. I'd recommend it to anyone who needs a combination of the accuracy of a drill press, and the versatility of a high speed rotary tool.

木工用のボール盤代わりに使ってますが凄いいいですね。ブレないし、もっと早く欲しかった

Terrific drill stand, perfect for a bench with limited space, the holder is compatible with other types of drills ,such as Ozito which are cheaper than a standard Dremel drill. I was able to get a new drill with a extension flex cable including 190 accessories and I paid 1/3 of what I can get with the extra features of a $ 3-400 Dremel drill and that's all you get is a drill with no flexible cable and no accessories, and paid under $100 . So you can get some more bang for your buck by searching for adaptations that are cheaper and just as good as a Dremel.

Alla mia recensione di una stella toglietene una, visto che non è possibile valutarlo 0 stelle. Tutto semplicemente vergognoso. I materiali, la progettazione e pure il fornitore. Guardate in che condizioni è arrivato il pacco. Distrutto. E' stato spedito senza un minimo di protezione. Almeno l'avessero messo dentro una scatola di cartone. Avevo acquistato il modello 220 spedito direttamente da Amazon, che ho dovuto restituire perché per errore dovevo prendere il 220-01 per il Dremel 8250. La spedizione Amazon era perfetta, con la scatola della WS 220 all'interno di una di cartone con imballaggio di protezione. Il modello WS 220-01 invece (Amazon non l'aveva) l'ha fornito la ditta Mostanza. NON ACQUISTERO' MAI PIU' DA QUESTA DITTA !!! ...Guarda caso se cercate su Amazon il modello WS 220-01 ora è venduto da un'altra ditta. Mostanza è sparita! Non ho restituito l'articolo all'arrivo perché era solo leggermente danneggiato (qualche rigo) e ne avevo bisogno per un lavoro che sto finendo. Passiamo alla WS 200-01 della Dremel: Un accessorio appena hobbistico quasi tutta plastica. Non è possibile fissare il Dremel 8250 in modo stabile. Si muove sempre. Basta una piccola pressione laterale e perde la verticalità. Dovrò aggiungere qualche spessore per cercare di rimediare. Se poi si cerca di stringere il collare con l'apposito dado sulla base del supporto... E' DI PLASTICA !!!! Non solo. La chiave in dotazione è talmente fine che taglia la plastica del dado quando si serra! Guardate la foto, cosa succede dopo averlo stretto una volta. Neanche il peggior prodotto cinese viene costruito così!. In conclusione: Considerando il costo (esagerato) della Workstation, considerando la reputazione della Dremel e considerando la progettazione ridicola e i materiali con cui è fatta, per quanto mi riguarda è un fallimento totale. Dimenticavo: persino la progettazione interna della scatola di cartone della WS è vergognosa. Assolutamente non in grado di proteggere ciò che contiene, dato il peso. ==> Prodotto assolutamente da evitare <<==

Excellent piece of kit. Bought for my wife - I get to assemble and test it. Dremel 4000 works fine with this.
