Tools and Hardware Reviews of Dremel 220-01 Rotary Tool Work Station
Customer Review: I wish I'd never bought it.
Summary: 1 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.

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.
