220-01 Work Station, 220-01 | Accurate drilling and straight holes, Portable Drill Press, 2-Inch Depth, Compatible with Dremel Rotary Tools

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

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.

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.

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 <<==
