Dremel 220 Workstation - 2-in1 Multi Purpose Drill Press & Rotary Tool Holder for Bench Drilling

A very useful tool fordoing small light jobs,like small buffing and mini grinding and drilling more accurately.due to its small size it can be set up on a bench without taking much space,easy to use and set up

This was a great addition to my garage workshop either as a drill or a grinding wheel it work well and does the job. Easy to assemble and the build quality is good.

All seemed to be there and undamaged, but the parts had just been lashed into the damaged box any old how. Clearly a returned item.Can’t be bothered to send back as I got it for a good price but took a star off the review.I agree that the instructions are awful but the diagrams and a bit of common sense will allow you to put it together easily enough.Not massively sturdy but good enough for the stated purpose.

This is a nicely designed and made piece of kit. It is light weight but seems more than strong enough for the light pressures that are applied when using a Dremel. It has good features like the drill depth stop, and adjustable angles for drilling. I have used it today for drilling some pebbles, using diamond tipped bits, and it was great for that as it was very easy to maintain continuous light pressure to grind through them.It was easy to set up the workstation even though, as others have said, the instructions are not brilliant.The only thing it lacks is a vice or other means of holding pieces that you are working on.

Although I have a pedestal bench drill in the main workshop, I was looking for a smaller one for my modelmaking room.I did consider a stand for a normal corded/battery hand drill but this again was a bit too large, as I alrerady have a Workzone (Aldi) mini drill/multi tool like the Dremel, I checked "on line" to see if it would fit and it seems most? of these types of tool have a removable collar (photo) which if it is 3/4 inch 12 threads per inch (tpi) it will fit and the locking nut as shown in the Dremel video works well to lock the tool in place.As you can see from the photos the Workzone tool will fit in two ways and still allow access for the shaft locking pin.It is easy to assemble but note that the smaller self locking centre shaft needs to be inserted correctly to work properly (photo's) as the shaft can be extended and retracted with a twist to lock in position and do not forget to check that the alignment shaft screws (photo) are correctly adjusted to ensure there is the minimum play in the toolholder assembly when used as a vertical drill as this can affect accuracy. Must be screwed down onto a bench before use !! to ensure safety for the Operator and avoid damage to equipment.Altogether I am very pleased with this item as the build quality, design features and attention to detail makes it a worthwhile addition to my workshop. Excellent Value !!

Fast delivery, item as described and very useful!

I actually love this workstation it's easy to assemble and use, it's great when I want to use the flexi cable for what ever I'm doing I can just hang the dremel rotary tool from the hanger that's attached at the top....you can also change the angle when its sat into the carriage for sanding etc ...but what I love about it mostly is the drill press as it's what it was designed for as I do fret work so need a number of holes drilled in preparation for when I use my scroll saw it was surprisingly sturdy and is a great addition to my to Workshop. It also has a crows nest bit at the top for your most used accessories so you dont need to keep looking for them just pop them into the lil holes done job Awesome!!! ...to sum it up.. It doe's actually what it says on the Tin...Negatives emmm should have bought one alot sooner so I would recommend this item 100 %Thank you Dremel 👍👍👍

I received this just the day after ordering thanks to Prime.It's a kind of strange drill press hybrid, made in China (Which did surprise me!) specifically made for Dremel rotary tools. A standard electric drill is fine for most tasks, but a drill press can be much more precise thanks to the drill bit being held square for its entire journey. The Workstation 220 works in much the same way, except the entire rotary tool joins the drill bit in the plunge downwards.At just over £30, it costs less than a budget drill, and I unsurprisingly had concerns over build quality for something so cheap, especially when sturdiness is so important with the tasks you'd be using the Workstation 220 for. Thankfully, I was very pleasantly surprised when it arrived. It's not quite as weighty as I would like, but fixing it to a bench with the corner mounting holes should solve that. As it stands, I had no problem using it for lighter tasks without actually mounting it.Construction is simple, but wasn't helped along by the poorest of instructions, which show little about how everything fits together. Thankfully the device isn't much more complicated than Lego, so getting it set up wasn't an issue, especially as there are only three main components. The base is equipped with both metric and imperial measurements and the riser bar slots firmly in place at the rear, held tightly by a locking nut which you have to install yourself.The riser bar has a twist lock at its base, allowing you to fix it at any height quickly and with a minimum of fuss. The additional height is mainly useful for keeping the rotary tool's power cable away from harm and you can also hang your Dremel tool itself using a detachable pole at the top while you're using the flexible shaft for example.At the rear of the main section is a locking lever that fixed the section's height, while similar locks allow you rotate the section itself, allowing you to drill at angles and also cut to specific depths. To do the latter you need to zero-in the depth lock against its gauge with the drill bit resting on the base plate.A large plastic container sits on the riser bar and provides a home for the locking spanner (used to secure the tool to the workstation) and has slots and holes for additional attachments - and the workstation, sadly, comes with no courtesy accessories in the container as standard.To secure your Dremel to the workstation, you need to remove the collar at the front of the tool, place it into the mount on the workstation, then secure from the other side using the locking ring. It's a simple step and the rotary tool is then held very firmly in place. The mount also has holes in specific places allowing you to access the power and drill bit lock.Using the workstation, I was very impressed with the precision it showed, with the drill bit not visibly straying at all, producing a visually perfectly round hole. The sprung dropping lever has just the right amount of resistance to allow precise drilling, although the travel is a little excessive and means your hand is always close to the action when it occurs. I plan to add an extension to the drop lever to limit the possibility of my hand coming into contact with the drill bit!If you've been considering purchasing a drill press and you already own a Dremel rotary tool, definitely consider the Workstation 220 to compliment it. It's precise and can save a lot of money and space, especially if you're only going to be using it occasionally.
