Customer Review: Dremel 220-01 Rotary Tool Work Station
Summary: 5 Stars
Now here is a real work horse! It can be used as a drill press for fine work; use a jig, set it in the horizontal position and cut-off steel wire (or pipe if you need to) at precise measurements. I used it on my Radio Control Boat building to shorten the motor drive shaft (stainless steel) by 1 5/8" then soften the cut edge.
While jigs are necessary for a lot of work and the work station must be fastened down for safety, the right jig and your imagination are the only limits I can think of. I'm going to try some routing by building a base with a 90 degree fence and router bit slot and make some fancy cuts using the Dremel router bits (just watch direction of feed, just like a big router)!

The Dremel Rotary Tool Workstation performs quite well. There is a learning process that I had to go through to become proficiant with the tool though. The only complaint I have about the tool is there is a little "slop". When trying to do some precision work you have to take it very easy and not put too much pressure on the machine or it will move. The Dremel itself moves just the slightest amount. But, in precision work that little movement can make or break a project.
Other than that, it is a fine tool that will give me many years of enjoyment.

The Dremel work station is ok if you aren't looking for precision. The mounts are made of cheap plastic and tend to flex when any amount of force is applied when working on your project. I was trying to use it as a drill press to drill precision holes but the mount flexes and not all of the holes came out straight.
I use the work station for sanding and holding the Dremel tool while using the flex shaft and it works great for those tasks.

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.Customer Review: Dremel Workstation

Dremel Workstation
I have tried this unit in several different situtations and have found, if you let the tool do the work, it performs like a pure winner. Working as a drill press....like I said before, let the tool do the work and do not force the piece and it works as it is supposed to.
As a stationary buffer/grinder....works wonders on brass and other "light" metels.
If you are carefull it will also work as a light duth router.....just in reverse as to what you are used to.
All in all I would recomend this product to anyone in the market for a good light duty press/grinder.
