Genuine Dremel - a bit tricky to assemble but a nice product at an amazing price to make drilling accurate.I tried assembling the stand from the drawings in the paper manual, but couldn't orient the pieces correctly using the manual. Then I found there were detailed written instructions; they made assembly much easier with minimal need to study the drawings. Of course none of this degrades the quality of the stand - it really is a nice addition to your Dremel toolkit.And it's not only Dremel who overly complicates assembly by the way - whoever makes those drawings is oblivious to the ability of someone who has never seen the product before, even if the customer has the mechanical knowledge to put things together.Why not an "exploded parts diagram"? One drawing with exploded parts (Sears Roebuck was doing this 60 years ago before computers) could be created in seconds, showing orientation and assembly without pages of pictures that don't make sense.One 'gotcha' to be aware of - the inner tube that holds the cord guide and hanger, locks with an innovative off-center plastic goodie by turning the tube - clockwise to lock and counterclockwise to unlock (righty-tighty; lefty-loosey). If you allow the tube to go down too far, you can't grab it to turn and loosen it. You have to turn the stand over and push the inner tube up from underneath, until you can grab it from above. Very minor issue, but good to be aware of.Beyond that minor irritation, the press is very, very nice; the tool fits into the holder accurately and drilling will be much moe precise than hand-holding the drill. I have to put 1/16" hole into a sheet metal weight for a model train, and locate the hole 1/16" from the edge of the weight for a #0-80 screw, which leaves only 1/32" "wall" on the hole. Of course I use a spring-loaded center punch to mark the location, and the Dremel to drill the hole. This press makes the hole dead-on.One final item is always wear safety glasses with this kind of equipment, and use some kind of coolant . Dremel's turn at up to 30,000 RPM, and if you break a drill the broken piece is very dangerous.

Good: Sturdy and well-built. Lightweight; maybe a bit *too* light, you'll probably need to clamp it to the workbench. Smooth operation, with one minor exception (see below.) Tool and cord holders are a nice touch. Decent price for what you get.Bad: Properly seating my cordless Dremel tool in the socket took a little effort at first. I had to experiment with different orientations and move the tool around to get it to where the holding collar would tighten firmly. Once in place though it's solid, and once you figure out how to seat it it's reasonably easy to remove and insert again. I also kinda wish they offered collars for other tool makes/models. I originally wanted to use my corded Ryobi tool but the collar screw is too big. However, the cordless tool works well. I also wish they'd included some T-track hardware. My stuff is intended for full-size benchtop presses, and is quite awkward to use with this one.Bottom line: The complaints above are semi-nitpicks; I'm quite pleased with it. Five stars.

I really love the versatility of this work station. It worked amazingly well for drilling a hole in a rock so that I could make a necklace. The crow's nest for bits is such a great idea. It makes it so much more fast and convenient when changing bits. It is very easy to insert the Dremel and I felt like it was very secure once screwed in. I also like that the Dremel can be turned at a 90 degree angle to the base to be used to sand and polish. It's super easy to raise and lower the Dremel along the shaft. The arm that lowers the head is very fluid and doesn't catch. It almost flows like butter. I'm sure that I will discover even more wonderful things as I continue to use the work station.Now to the reason it got only 4 stars. The rod that holds the Dremel while the flex shaft is attached swings around throwing the rest of the unit off balance. The whole unit fell over several times while I was working. It would be nice if it would lock into place so the cord wouldn't swing around causing the unit to go crashing off the table and nearly ruining my project. Of course, today was the first day that I used it and I may find that I am doing something wrong upon further inspection but, I gotta tell ya, I tried everything to figure out how to stop this. Even so, I would buy it again in a heartbeat. It is definitely worth the money.Oh... and if the design team reads this review... having someplace to mount a light would be nothing short of epic. I'm sure I'll figure out a fix for this too, in time.

Works great. However, after using at high speeds for a while, recheck all the tightening points. The bracket for the up and down guide loosens. In the one I have.

Perfect gift for a Dremel user who doesn’t already have it. (Especially if it’s not on their radar!)Fluid lever movement, with accurate 90-degree hole-drilling. (“Eyeballing it” while using a pin vise is not super successful.) I make miniatures, and this contraption is money well spent for both the drill press feature and as a third hand to hold the tool while sanding and grinding details. It also holds the Dremel securely while I use the smaller flex shaft, which is genius. I’ve owned a cordless model for 30+ years, but I received a nicer, corded one with the flex shaft from Santa two years ago. I couldn’t figure out how to manage the upgrade—this is it. And, FYI, both Dremels are compatible with this workstation—so it’s universal as far as working with the Dremel you have.I generally default to hand tools, but this stand makes using my corded Dremel so much less of a hassle. I love that it has a spot for the chuck wrenches and holes to hold a few bits.Note that this is meant to be mounted or clamped down to a table before using, and it does not come with those screws and clamps. It would be dangerous IMHO if unsecured. I mounted it to my workbench with four size 14 screws, and it’s not going anywhere.

Use for accuracy.

Absolutely beautiful piece of machined Dremel equipment. And please see the photos below as this does work with both Milwaukee rotary tool and Milwaukee fuel rotary tool. You will also see a artymaster mini vise that fits perfectly on here as well.

Let me start off by saying I more or less got what I expected when I bought this (while still hoping for more!). To be sure, it is a good product and it is indeed useful to do what it says it does, but if you are looking for precision, do not count on it for $40.As I unboxed it, the very first thing I noticed, the drill press assembly itself (the part that rides along the chrome vertical shaft) is *not* parallel in its construction - and this is when it is set at 0°. What this means is, if you are drilling a hole straight down, the hole would be a degree or three off... not entirely straight. I mean, it can work, but it won't be 100% precise. The construction of the work station itself is fairly solid. I believe I understand why it is called a "work station" and not a "drill press".There is a slight clumsiness in the operation. When you lower the bit into the material, there is a very slight movement which sort of hinders precision. This is not as terrible as it sounds, it is still workable. Remember, we are talking about a do-it-all multi-tool that fits into this attachment. This does not mean that you can't use it as intended. You can. Just takes a bit of getting used to. The other features work well, depth stop, angled drilling. As a work station, I can find many many uses for this using a variety of bits. I would say it is about 90% precise.Cons:Drill Press assembly not parallel to vertical shaft.Slight movement on contact with material.Not entirely precise in operationPros:General work station is very functional, sander, polisher, even router operations.Angular drilling. Variety of operations possible when used with different bits.Steady metal base can be bolted downOverall, I do like this product, I do not regret buying it and I plan to use it often.

Just received my workstation, which turns my rotary tool into a small drill press. I had no problem attaching my MasterCraft rotary tool to the unit; most - but not all - rotary tools use the removable collet cap, so most rotary tools can use this stand. It's important to note, however, that the combination of a rotary tool with the dremel workstation doesn't result in 'just' a drill press. Most regular drill presses have speeds ranging from 500 to 1500 RPM max. But rotary tools are typically in the 10,000 to 20,000 RPM range. This high speed allows you to do things - like drill holes in glass - that you'd have great difficulty in doing with a conventional drill press. So the combination of a high speed rotary tool with the functionality of a drill press really gives you a very unique tool. There really isn't anything else out there like this.There is a circular plastic stand near the top of the pole which Dremel refers to as the crowsnest; it's basically a place to store commonly used attachments, such as different collets to accommodate different sized drills. Unfortunately, there's no place to store the collet cap, which you removed from your rotary tool in order to attach it to the workstation. It would have been nice if they had thought of that. Something else that they might have done is cast V grooves in the aluminum base, which would have facilitated drilling into circular stock. The base does have 4 level grooves cut radially into the base, which permits the attachment of various attachments created by the owner.Vertical action is smooth and easily controlled; and there is an adjustable drill stop that allows you to make numerous holes of exactly the same depth. Similarly, the tool can be rotated from vertical to horizontal in 15 degree increments (but not to increments other than 15 degrees). When both rotational clamps are tightened - there are two, one on the rotating cuff itself and another on the plastic body - the tool is very secure.Given that the rotary tool is considerably heavier than the very light aluminum base, the assembly is top heavy, and even more so if you use the included rotary arm to keep the power cord out of the way. The instructions recommend using either c clamps to temporarily attach the base to a work table, or bolts in each of the 4 corners of the aluminum stand for a permanent installation. This is something you'll want to give some serious thought to. Some users have also mounted the unit on a square made of wood, which puts more weight at the bottom of the unit and increases the bases diameter, which makes the tool harder to tip. However you solve the problem, you should be aware that it's really easy to tip over, and that you shouldn't plan on frequent use of the tool without addressing the issue.In general, I'm very pleased with my unit. It's well made, and does everything I want it to do. If you have a need to drill a number of holes in specific and precise locations - I'm drilling holes in custom printed circuit boards - this stand is a great way to do exactly that. I'd recommend it to anyone who needs a combination of the accuracy of a drill press, and the versatility of a high speed rotary tool.

Alla mia recensione di una stella toglietene una, visto che non è possibile valutarlo 0 stelle. Tutto semplicemente vergognoso. I materiali, la progettazione e pure il fornitore. Guardate in che condizioni è arrivato il pacco. Distrutto. E' stato spedito senza un minimo di protezione. Almeno l'avessero messo dentro una scatola di cartone. Avevo acquistato il modello 220 spedito direttamente da Amazon, che ho dovuto restituire perché per errore dovevo prendere il 220-01 per il Dremel 8250. La spedizione Amazon era perfetta, con la scatola della WS 220 all'interno di una di cartone con imballaggio di protezione. Il modello WS 220-01 invece (Amazon non l'aveva) l'ha fornito la ditta Mostanza. NON ACQUISTERO' MAI PIU' DA QUESTA DITTA !!! ...Guarda caso se cercate su Amazon il modello WS 220-01 ora è venduto da un'altra ditta. Mostanza è sparita! Non ho restituito l'articolo all'arrivo perché era solo leggermente danneggiato (qualche rigo) e ne avevo bisogno per un lavoro che sto finendo.Passiamo alla WS 200-01 della Dremel: Un accessorio appena hobbistico quasi tutta plastica. Non è possibile fissare il Dremel 8250 in modo stabile. Si muove sempre. Basta una piccola pressione laterale e perde la verticalità. Dovrò aggiungere qualche spessore per cercare di rimediare. Se poi si cerca di stringere il collare con l'apposito dado sulla base del supporto... E' DI PLASTICA !!!! Non solo. La chiave in dotazione è talmente fine che taglia la plastica del dado quando si serra! Guardate la foto, cosa succede dopo averlo stretto una volta. Neanche il peggior prodotto cinese viene costruito così!.In conclusione: Considerando il costo (esagerato) della Workstation, considerando la reputazione della Dremel e considerando la progettazione ridicola e i materiali con cui è fatta, per quanto mi riguarda è un fallimento totale.Dimenticavo: persino la progettazione interna della scatola di cartone della WS è vergognosa. Assolutamente non in grado di proteggere ciò che contiene, dato il peso.==> Prodotto assolutamente da evitare <<==

Excellent piece of kit. Bought for my wife - I get to assemble and test it. Dremel 4000 works fine with this.

Excelente ferramenta para artesanato.
