Tools and Hardware Reviews of Dremel 220-01 Rotary Tool Work StationCustomer Review: Made My Day: Dremel Work Station ! Summary: 5 Stars
This Dremel rotary tool (drill press) work station made my day. It helped me drill holes on a printed circuit board. It helped me drill perfect holes. I was completely happy with the work station and would recommend it without reservation to anyone who might also be fabricating a printed circuit board, for home/hobby use.
I have worked in machine shops my whole life. I have two drill presses at home. I have an old Atlas 6 inch swing metal working lathe. The Dremel work station complements my options in the area of home/hobby projects. The holes I drilled were .021 inches in diameter. This is 21 mils, or 21 thousandths of an inch. This about the thickness of 5 sheets of photocopy/printer paper. It took care and patience to align for each and every hole. That task belonged to me. Never did I need to back step or take some kind of extra precaution because there was any noticeable slop in the work station. The tool itself was not a distraction. I used a light touch to center the drill bit and guide it into a tiny tiny punched dimple that I struck into each of the many holes I drilled. I did not lean on the operating lever with two hands. I used a very light one or two finger press to rotate the lever.
Look, the price of this tool is $42, today at Amazon, with free super saver shipping. This does not suggest cheapness in terms of you get what you pay for. From my perspective, you get a nice tool, for only $42, including shipping. I read all the reviews and debated the purchase. In the end I needed to try it and went to Home Depot. It cost me $50 dollars there. Still, it was worth it. Get over the fact that there are plastic parts. The work station worked for me, without qualification. I mounted a new Dremel 4000 rotary tool, without issue. Yes, the rotary tool is fixed at only one end. But for what I did and what I could imagine using the tool/work station combo, this works.
If I need to drill through a piece of 1/4 inch thick aluminum plate, I am going to use one of my heavy duty drill presses. Heavy duty work involves drill bits that fetch-up, for example. For what I did today, the work station provided all the rigidity and precision I required.
