Dremel 220 Workstation
Dremel keeps on cranking out new variations on their tried-and-true favorites, and this week comes word of a new workstation mounting kit.
The mounting kit seems pretty versatile actually, allowing a standard Dremel to become a drill press, a mounted rotary tool, or mount it and use your dremel bits pen-style with their flex shaft attachment. The idea of using a Dremel as a mini high-precision drill press seems especiallly cool.
Available now for $45 bucks shipped from from Amazon.com

Any clue if this is stiffer than their old drill press, or their router table? both of them have pretty cheap plastic that actually holds the dremel & makes it not-so-good for high-precision (e.g. decent circuit board hole drilling) work... hoping they've improved the quality.

Posted by: Zach at March 30, 2006 9:32 AMThis new 220-01 has a cheaper feeling over there 212 model. I would stick with there 212 and get an adaptor if your an xpr owner.
In my mind dremel went backward with this model.
Cheap - Spring Press
:(
I must add the + to this press.
The bit holder on the top of the post if a nice feature and also the press will rotate to a 45 and that is a new feature.
Keep up the great work on your blog. Best wishes WaltDe
