Product Description
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.

Amazon.com Product Description
Ideal for crafts, hobbies, metal working, and a variety of around-the-house jobs, the 220-01 Dremel Work Station transforms any Dremel rotary tool into a tabletop drill press. It can be bolted on to your workbench, and it has the versatility to operate as a tool holder, flex shaft holder, and drill press. This rotary tool work station holds Dremel rotary tool models 100, 200, 275, 285, 300, 395, 595 and 850 (tool not included).
The Dremel Work Station can be tilted in 15-degree increments. View larger. |
All-In-One Operation
The Dremel Work Station gives you the flexibility to tackle hobbies, fix-it renovations, or special projects without having to invest in a variety of separate tools and attachments. Its stable, sturdy design lets you perform low-torque, high-speed jobs like drilling holes in metal to make earrings and bracelets, or sanding even the most detailed pieces of an architectural model. Measuring 56 square inches, and offering a drill depth of two inches, the sturdy, slotted base has four clamping points, while a rack and pinion feed lever ensures smooth, accurate operation.Flexibility for Intricate Work
Whether you're buffing stones or sanding parts of a radio-controlled airplane, you'll appreciate that you can tilt the Dremel Work Station in 15-degree increments from 15 to 90 degrees horizontal -- perfect for more focused, intricate work. When you're grinding or polishing materials, the tool holder prevents slippage by keeping tools at 90 degrees, and the telescoping FlexShaft tool stand lets you adjust to any height between 16 and 29 inches. Once you've finished working for the day, place bits, collets, and wrenches in the tool caddy for easy clean-up and storage. Easy Setup and Durable, User-Friendly Design
Easy to set up and operate, the Work Station features straightforward, durable construction. Clips keep messy cords from obscuring your visibility as you work, and inch and metric markings on the base allow for precise measurements and ensure that your adjustments are consistent, too. Compatible rotary tools attach and detach smoothly so you can polish, grind, or drill holes in stone, metal, or glass for rivets, eyelets, or cold connections of any sort. What's in the Box

 Dremel Work Station Review July 21, 2010
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. May 21, 2010

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 May 7, 2010
TRA (Spain)
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
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.
