Tools and Hardware Reviews of Dremel 220-01 Rotary Tool Work Station
Customer Review: Junk.......
Summary: 1 Stars
My unit is Model 220 and from the pictures I don't expect the 220-1 to be any better.
This tool is absolutely useless for any kind or precision drilling.
Why, because the handle moves the Dremmel drill not only down but from side to side as well, due to the sloppy tolerances in the plastic castings. The downward motion is anything but smooth because of the cheap design substitute for a rack and pinion.
Dremel should be ashamed of themselves for putting this on the marked.
Customer Review: Just Great!

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!Customer Review: Just like L F Smith said

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!!
Customer Review: Just what I was looking for
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very good product as long as you don't need it for heavy duty applications. It is very sturdy and stable. I am using it for constructing radio control airplanes, and the type of sanding I sometimes do could not be done without it! I am very pleased with it. As far as the deisgn, there was some confusion as to the installtion of the bolt that holds the main shaft in place. There was no hole or indentation in the shaft that made it obvious how the bolt goes in. It appears the bolt just tightens against any spot on the shaft, which then seems like it would loosen over time. But, overall it it is great product and just what I was looking for. Now I am thinking of buying the Dremel vice grip!Customer Review: Lapidary work

I've had my Workstation for about a week and it has done everything I hoped it would. I've drilled holes in my stones, standed metal findings, polished metal and spot-polished stones. It's very important to go slowly while drilling but I did not find any 'sloppiness' others have mentioned. For the price - it is a very good tool!
