Turn that Dremel rotary tool into a drill press with this rotary tool workstation from Dremel. The station accepts several Dremel models to drill perpendicular and angled holes in 15-degree increments from 90 degrees vertical to 90 degrees horizontal. Inch and metric markings on the base make for accurate drilling of workpieces. Depth markings with depth stop provide consistent depth adjustment, while the sturdy metal base with four clamping points holds workpieces securely in place. The workstation also holds the rotary tool steady for other tasks, such as polishing metal objects, sanding different shapes and grinding metal pieces--with greater precision and less fatigue. The station's telescoping shaft allows adjustments to any height between 16 and 29 inches. On-board storage for drill bits, cords, and wrenches keep them all in handy reach. --Brian D. Olson

 "Worst. Assembly. Instructions. Ever." 2010-09-21
By Elizabeth Tolbert (Saint Paul, MN)
I bought this workstation to use as a drill press for my crafts business. I consider myself relatively handy and intelligent and the instructions could not have been more worthless. Bad graphics, poor wording. I was able to "successfully" assemble it only after lucking out at the local hardware superstore where they had a Dremel demo last weekend. The nice guy running the demo took one out of the box for me and helped me set it up. He agreed the instructions were, uh, lacking. Also recommended that I use plumbers' tape to fix the wobbliness of the tube assembly. Overall this piece is useful but it's also a big disappointment. C'mon Dremel, you can do way better.



p.s. The packaging and such may not list it, but this *does* accommodate the Dremel 4000 Series.

 "Misleading and Poor Quality" 2010-09-18
By Grant Mason (San Diego, Calif. USA)
This product says that it will fit a Dremel 395. My problem is that the Dremel I am in possession of is a model 395 circa 1984. The Dremel I have has a different body style than the current 395's and will not fit the drill press. I can understand this mistake but it would have saved me time and money spent to know this detail. As for the press itself it is definitely of budget construction. The assembly is pretty simple but that is after you interpret the poorly written and skimpy instructions. All-in-all you get something that should be priced around $40.00 and in today's world that is not saying much. The old Dremel in my possession is still going strong after 26 years; I don't think this drill press will have much worth after the same amount of time except as scrap metal and plastic.

 "Just Great!" 2010-08-22
By Judy Cantwell
This Dremel Work Station is just great! It is wonderful for our Dremel needs and is exactly what we wanted. AND...the price is so much cheaper than in the stores around here. We happeneded to be in the local craftman's store the other day and saw the identical item for over sixty dollars more! We love Amazon!

 "Great item, but not perfect" 2010-08-16
By el cranki (mexico)
this iem is really versatile and well built, but the only problem i've found is that it aint as "tight" as it would appear, when you use it as a drill press the tip of the drill may go a few milimeters sideways when it touches his objetive

 "Dremel Work Station Review" 2010-07-21
By Thomas M. Hubisz (Saugus, Ma, US)
I recently purchased a Dremel workstation. The project of the moment required me to use it as a drill press, with the help of a home-made jig. I found the tool to be excellent, except for a tendency for the bit to wander when the wood grain was uneven. This, even though I used a brad point bit. The fact that the tool holder allows deflection, may cause the serious craftsman to seek a more expensive/precise alternative.

 "Misrepresented! Will not allow flex-shaft use." 2010-05-21
By S. Kalman
Pictures of this Dremel Model 220 inside the Owner's Manual only show use of this device as a flex shaft hanger. That's because it is not possible to use this device as a drill press for a flex shaft. HORRIBLE MISREPRESENTATION IN THE ITEM DESCRIPTION!



Assembly instructions are worse than horrid - they are downright erroneous. It took two of us over two hours to figure out how to put this together. Even the pictures are wrong (for example: showing nuts outside the device when they should be place inside).



I was using my oven door for a flex shaft hanger. Now I still have to use the oven door for a flex shaft hanger because this dratted item WILL NOT WORK as a hanger unless you screw it to a table. No way will it work in any manner with a flex shaft handpiece.



If you think this is an item that will help you, think again. I am going to see if I can send this back.

 "How to assemble the Dremel Workstation" 2010-05-07
By TRA (Spain)
This "workstation" is not designed to the standards that one expects of Dremel, and the assembly instructions in the manual are wrong. If you follow them, you will not be able to assemble the workstation. They should therefore be ignored. Here are the instructions that I have written and that do work with the workstation that I received.



1. Remove the rubber caps from both ends of the long tube.



2. Pull out the inner tube as far as it will come and twist it to lock it into place.



3. The "square nut (short end first)" is a nut with a non-concentric hole. It is not for the height adjustment lever, as stated in the assembly instructions, but for the angle lock lever.



With the Dremel tool holder (the "press") in horizontal position (NOT in vertical as stated in the instructions), insert this nut with the thinner edge at the bottom, and check visually that it aligns with the hole for the angle lock lever, then insert the angle lock lever and give it the minimum number of turns necessary to capture the nut.



4. Insert the other square nut (the one with the concentric hole) in the back of the blue plastic sleeve, opposite the hole for the height adjustment lever, insert the height adjustment lever and give it the minimum number of turns necessary to capture the nut.



5. Holding onto the height adjustment lever so that it does not slip into the hole, work the thicker tube into the hole, inserting the bottom of the thicker tube into the top of the Dremel tool holder (consult the pictures on the box to determine which this is). It is a very tight fit, but if the two nuts inserted in (3) and (4) are correctly seated, it will go in by dint of wiggling and twisting it. You must expect part of the tube to be marked (damaged!) by the corners of the two captive nuts, which protrude into the space designed to receive the tube.



6. Leave a good 4" (10 cm) of clear thick tube above the Dremel tool holder, and tighten both levers (the height adjustment lever and the angle lock lever) gently.



7. Insert the very large bolt into the outside of the hole in the back of the base and secure it loosely with the corresponding large nut, which goes inside the column (tube) slot. This nut was hexagonal in the kit that I received, not square as indicated in the instructions. A square nut of the right dimensions to prevent it turning would have been much better.



8. Insert the tube (the column), which now has the tool holder on it into the hole in the base and tighten the bolt referred to in (7), above. (The supplied wrench is the wrong size, so you will need to find a suitable spanner to do this.)



9. Slide the "crow's nest" onto the tube from the top, making sure that the small holes for drill bits and tool shanks are uppermost. It will bind sufficiently to be stable when it reaches the thicker tube.



10. Insert the cable holder into the top of the thinner tube.



11. Insert the "hanger wire" into the top of the cable holder. It will be loose, so be careful that it does not fall out if you have to move the workstation, and that it does not swing and put the cable into a dangerous position while working. Perhaps some tape could be wrapped round its vertical shaft, to prevent this.



12. Add the plastic cap to the end of the "hanger wire".



13. Unscrew the plastic cover from the front of the Dremel tool and store it with the tool accessories. (It is a pity that a storage position for this was not designed for the "crow's nest" storage shelf!) Lower the front end of the tool into the cup-shaped front of the press and engage it with the large nut at the bottom, then tighten the nut with the large spanner that is supplied. (Once the tool has engaged with the nut, you may find it helpful to rotate the tool press assembly into horizontal position so that you can see what you are doing while tightening this nut.) The spanner can be stored in the slot at the back of the "crow's nest".



14. Tighten the press in vertical position (or other desired angle) with the plastic wing-nut behind the press.



15. Tighten the angle lock lever.



16. Adjust the height range as desired and lock in place with the height adjustment lever.



17. The base should be secured to a suitable work bench, preferably with four bolts or screws (not supplied!) through the holes at the corners of the base.



18. Inexplicably, the depth gauge is only moulded on the top half of the depth scale, so that less than half of it is usable. Users may wish to make their own depth scale and stick it on the bottom half of the depth scale bar, or make an alternative index point.

 "Just like L F Smith said" 2010-03-08
By C. Schrader
This press has worked like a charm for my projects. I didn't even secure it to my table top, mainly due to the fact that I was using a 15 lbs drill vise. It's not flimsy at all as to what others have claimed it to be. Make sure the locking nuts and levers are secured and there won't be any issues with light pressure and patience. I was able to drill through aluminum, plastic, and steel (steel took a while) with no problems at all. Yeah it took a little longer than a regular drill press, but I don't have the space OR the money for one.

The instruction manual was worthless, but luckily assembling the press was intuitive. However, the manual would be good for ordering replacement parts if needed. There is a nice break down of the parts that are included in the kit. Before ordering, make sure it is compatible with your unit, it is clearly stated what models the press is compatible with.

This was an excellent purchase for $40!!

 "Really great prdouct" 2010-02-11
By Ytai Ben-tsvi (Tel-Aviv, Israel)
I'm using it for drilling tiny (0.6mm) holes in PCBs. I manage to drill them very precisely, no more than 0.1mm offset just by hand, and without and optical devices. Compared to an integral drill press, this one is very cheap and light, but nevertheless rigid and comfortable.

BTW, I'm using a Dremel clone, and before buying I was concerned whether this would fit. The answer is that the attachment is done by the threaded nose of the tool. If yours has the same threading, you should have no problems.

 "The Dremel 220-01 Rotary Tool Work Station is very good." 2010-02-10
By Mark A. Chaddon (Bloomington, IL. USA)
The assembly of this tool took no more than 30 minutes which included reading the included manual.



The use if this tool is mostly intuitive and easy to setup and use. I have used the work station 2 or 3 times since I received it last month Jan 2010. It works great. I would highly recommend this product.

 "Love it!" 2010-02-02
By Matt Service (Michigan)
I love it's multi purpose features.

The fact alone that it can hold my heavy rotary tool so I can use the flex shaft easier makes me give this workstation five stars.

I haven't used it as an actual drill press yet, but I've used it for all the other uses listed and shown.

I have also used it as a reverse router table. Be careful if you use it this way too, because the bit is a little more exposed to your hands compared to a normal router table. But I love that I can see what the router bit is doing to the top of the piece of wood I am working on. Just set the rotary tool to the depth you want and rout away!

 "Badly engineered for holding rotary tools stably" 2010-01-18
By Mr. Rajvikram Singh (San Diego)
I disagree with Kandoro. He's obviously not read the post by J. Blackthorne clearly .. I received my unit last week and was definitely perplexed about the fact that my 395 (apparently supported by the unit) was way too small. There were no real mounting brackets to hold the unit firmly in place other than the coupling nut at the bottom. There has to be an adapter .. otherwise this is either bad engineering or bad marketing.



I am not really going to use it for anything high-precision but I do need tight enough tolerance for drilling holes close to each other. I cannot use the 220-01 station reliably .. intend to modify it to hold my dremel tool. And if I can't .. I'm returning it.
