Average Ratings:

This superb accessory turns your Dremel rotary tool into a drill press. Drill perpendicular and angled holes in 15-degree increments, up to 90 degrees horizontal. Inch and metric marking on base make for accurate drilling of workpieces. Depth markings with depth stop provide consistent depth adjustment, while the sturdy metal base with 4 clamping points holds workpieces securly in place. But the Work Station also functions as a holder for your rotary tool to allow you to perform numerous tasks--such as polishing metal objects, sanding different shapes and grinding metal pieces--with greater precision and less fatigue. Use it to as a stand for your rotary tool steady when working with the flex shaft. It allows telescopic adjustment to any height between 16 and 29 inches. It has on-board storage for drill bits, wrenches, and other Dremel accessories and cord management clips for safe storage of power cords. Includes: work station attachment with onboard "crow's nest" for accessory storage, mounting wrench and instructions

Summary: horrible documentation bad set up
Comment: Decent product once you set the thing up. However, the documentation is horrible and set up is less than intuitive. If you are short a piece, especially a small one, it's very very hard to tell. While the tool itself seems to work o.k. (nothing special), the shoddy support for the product - even in documentation - warrants a low rating and a warning to buyers. Be prepared to figure it out and just toss the POS manual since it does more harm than good.

Summary: Rotary Tool Stand
Comment: Had to make a few modifications for it to hold a rotary tool other than a Dremel. Other than that, works fine.

Summary: I wish I'd never bought it.
Comment: 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.

Summary: Good for some applications...difficult to install Dremel body
Comment: After spending time this weekend working on various projects with my Dremel, I feel I have to give my opinion with this work station. The main problem for me was installing and then removing the Dremel body (I have a Dremel Multi-Pro Model 395). Knowing limitations would occur unless attached to a proper base, I expected a few problems when doing some drilling in various densities of items. Yet, it wasn't as bad as some other reviewers state. Knowing that cost often reflects in quality, but in this case if used correctly this is a good work station. No it doesn't do everything, so use the CORRECT tool for the job. Many expect the Dremel (and accessories) to be the best for nearly every job...this is not the case. I've learned working in a professional scientific/preparation laboratory that often other tools do a better job than the one you initially gravitate towards or are more familiar or is easier (in general) to use. For instance, an air driven tool may really do a better job at etching/carving in certain matrices and the same goes for using a heavy duty drill press. Therefore - price 5 stars, installation of tool 2 stars, applications 3 stars...so I feel a 3 to 3.5 star rating is my ranking of this product. Overall, I am glad to have it when I need it.
