- In this video I unbox a Dremel Workstation. Is it really a drill press for your Dremel, or can it do more?
Thanks to @DremelUS for sending me the Workstation 220

🌟✨Would this be a great accessory in your workshop?✨🌟
If it was only a mini drill press I'd say I pass. But having seen it works as a multi angle holder... it will be definitely a great addition.
I've also liked the clips as my Dremel is corded (4000) and it will help working easy and safely.
Thanks a lot for the video 👍🏻
Maybe as a holder, but it's super wobbly. Wish there was a metallic one.
I bought one to use for my hobby I have to make repetitive holes in many of the same pieces. I set up a fixture so I could put the part in, drill the hole, take it out and put the next one in. Well after the second piece I discovered the tool was not steady. It does not tighten firmly and it wanders around. Maybe for a single piece it may be okay but it needs serious reworking to make it really useful. I'm sorry I bought it. 😪
@@vincentciulla7305 Bummer. I had such hopes.
If I had an actual shop that'd be great, but I don't. I will use it at my plastic picnic table outdoors. It already replaces my flex shaft holder and sounds like it's a great pocket pilot hole maker with the 15° angle, and it also replaces my Dremel multi vise, I also like the cord holder clips. I csn't wait til mine gets here. Hope it's not wobbly like some others have mentioned.
This looks like exactly what I need for… uh… reasons… definitely grabbing one.

This press has worked like a charm for my projects czcams.com/users/postUgkxajoEbapTfqWaadnqb04h6U576yxXp-FE . I didn't even secure it to my table top, mainly due to the fact that I was using a 15 lbs drill vise. It's not flimsy at all as to what others have claimed it to be. Make sure the locking nuts and levers are secured and there won't be any issues with light pressure and patience. I was able to drill through aluminum, plastic, and steel (steel took a while) with no problems at all. Yeah it took a little longer than a regular drill press, but I don't have the space OR the money for one.The instruction manual was worthless, but luckily assembling the press was intuitive. However, the manual would be good for ordering replacement parts if needed. There is a nice breakdown of the parts that are included in the kit. Before ordering, make sure it is compatible with your unit, it is clearly stated what models the press is compatible with.This was an excellent purchase for $40!!
I was about to order the drill press, plus a spanking new multitool, and I hesitated. I thought I should watch some reviews first. Your one was the first I clicked on, got to 3:25 at which point I realised I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE! 😁 Thank you very much for filming and sharing it, you made my decision very easy! 👍
My pleasure 👍
Great video "thanks" as my mate always says up here for thinking 🤔 and down there for dancing 🕺.it's great to see someone else who uses it, I wouldn't have thought about turning it around to re-center it to do the angle work....cool I'll definitely look at some more of your videos 👍
Glad you found it useful, lot of good stuff on here! 👍
I just bought it for drilling holes in stones. Works like a charm!
Awesome 👍
Well done explained really well 👍
Thank you for that video, it's really helped me get mine set up 😁👍
My pleasure 👍
@@KingBespokeCreations I'd got all of the parts out of the box and I thought I subscribe to a guy who will have built one up 😂🤝👍
Thankyou , I learned something I wasn`t aware of by watching your video. 👍🏻
Well that’s good 👍
Have had a couple of these for over 6 years, one has my flexible shaft fitted into a Dremel mains drill, then I can sand, carve and a lot of other job's have been using these tool's for over 30 year's, at first they were imported from the USA, all in all I own a large selection of their tool's, best Hobby tool's on the market.
Agreed 👍
Awesome video- Thank you so much! : D Your explanations along with the visuals now make me confident to use this new machine in front of me. Would be nice to see you explain everything in life just like this. ; )
Simple terms from a simple man 😉
I stuck the largest router bit in it, turned the Dremel 90⁰ over and used it to flatten part of a carving. It's not flawless obviously, but way better than I can get on my own
It has so many options! 👍
Thanks. I wondered about this. I thought it had a holder for the flex shaft, too. I guess not. I will just buy one that clamps onto the table.
Thank you, and God bless you, too! My boyfriend got me one and it's supposed to arrive today. Trying to memorize this before it arrives so I can impress him with my knowledge. :D He's just gonna put me to work. Haha.
Thanks for the review. Would it be ok for string ferrules holes on a telecaster build?
Excellent!!!
Great review.
👍👏
I bought one to use for my hobby. I have to make repetative holes in many of the same pieces. I set up a fixture so I could put the part in, drill the hole, take it out and out the next one in. Well after the second piece I discovered the tool was not steady. It does not tighten firmly and it wanders around. Maybe for a single piece it may be okay but it needs serious reworking to make it really useful. I'm sorry I bought it.
Looks good for drilling small holes on homemade PCBs, cnc, or laser engraving projects. I might get one as I have trying to find something like this.
It’s a great addition to the Dremel set up 👍
Between this and the routing fixture, a rail with some knobs to make this workstation at 90 degrees to make it a lathe, some good sharp chisels, and some holdfasts and dogs? You could have a pretty formidable setup for woodworking provided you don't go too fast and push the motor. It should be said that as a commercial locksmith for a year cutting in strikes though, I pushed my dremel to failure and I was astonished at how much pressure and damage it could take before it started smoking by cutting into steel (mild / stainless); they are robust motors.
I was cutting into steel for over 8 hours straight behind on a project, pushing so hard that it got hot in my hands to the point I had to put gloves on and it was still working. I did that for a solid 8 months before it failed. Do I think it could rout a mortise and Tenor over 30 minutes? Absolutely; no question. Remarkable motors, definitely not to be underestimated.
Wow, that’s great to hear. Check out my latest video on the Bluetooth Dremel, the app has temperature alarms for the motor and battery so you dont cook them!
@@KingBespokeCreations As a computer engineering student with a background in soldering, I bet I could probably create the circuit myself and modify my existing Dremel ^^ That is a really great idea overall, thank you for the tip!
TIP. If fixing to a work top (as you should) mount on spacers as small item, drill bits fall through the base, makes life less complicated getting the buggers out !
😂
Nice video and very informative thank you! I would still like to know what the slots in the base can do, and what they are for. THANKS!
Great question! They’re on every stand aren’t they. I think they might be an opportunity for clamping?
I have just bought the 220 workstation to accompany my recently purchased 4250 Dremmel tool, having been assured they are compatible. However, on fitting the 4250 I am finding that I seem not to properly secure the tool using the plastic lock nut B. I have been reluctant to torque it too much being plastic. Any advice please
Thank you, a big help!

Great item really like mine
That’s nice but with the top pole being adjustable, would that not be used for primary height adjustment?
Looks handy for smaller tasks. Could the drill extend through that hole in the base and then you could stand the unit on a workpiece?
I don’t think it would fit through. But definitely useful!
I bought this yesterday to be able to cope some trim. Go figure, Home Depot has no coping saws in my area, so…. Good little investment
👍
Brill video. Thanks
My pleasure
Looks great. Pity it doesn’t come with a guard that goes around it when on sideways for grinding/polishing to stop stuff spraying everywhere.
You can always attach the little clear plastic gaurd that Dremel have?
Excellent review! Does the drill at 90 degrees spin true? Thanks!
It works as it should for sure
4:44 minute can be seen the movement of the drill bit whent it comes into contact with the wood. 🤨
i used mine as a de-facto milling machine. set the bit at a specific height. and by hand moved the parts under the tip to make part of my parts much thinner.
so this Is worth the cash, but after said project it just sits there doing nothing.
Can you put a bigger chuck on the Dremel. Also what model is your cordless one.
There is 2 sizes I believe. Only a fraction difference though. The cordless in this video is the 8220. I’ve just got the 8260 Bluetooth which is another step up! Check out my review of that 👍
Im new, can this work with the flex shaft. Basically a holder, seems like it should
Absolutely 👍
What is the maximum drilling height capacity?
I find its a bit too flimsy for my liking ! There is a fair bit of play in the stand even after tightening everything that you can ! Don't forget there are two small grub screws acting like gibbs in the plastic on the left hand side which locate in the keyway ! Even then when all is adjusted and tight the plastic cradle is just too flimsy and deflects when in use. This in some cases can help as there's just enough play for the drill to slip into a center punched hole that's not quite aligned right with the drill bit ! However if your doing multiple holes using some jig or fixture where there's not an alignment issue then the holes are clearly not drilled accurately in series or in a straight line as the head does indeed shift that ? .3 -.5 of a mm or thereabouts. Might be 'OK' for most uses but could be better. All the plastic parts are just a bit too light duty for me and I expect I will break it at some point. I might try to reverse engineer it and 'upgrade' some of the parts so they are stronger and more accurate.
I pretty much agree. After lots of use I’ve found what it’s good at and what need a little more accuracy. The problem is a base of this nature that solid metal is a huge increase in price. And a change brand in brand 👍
Nice video😀the stand is compatible with dremel 3000?
Thank you
Yes, it's what I use
Can we use the Dremel to drill 2 to 3mm aluminium panels?
I’m sure it do that with ease
Why is there so much sideways movement every time you touch the up-down handle?
Can you use any rotors tool? Or is it dremel specific
If the thread is the same as a Dremel it should work.
Will it work for drilling a straight hole in metal?
Take it slow, but if your using a bit for metal it should be fine.
would the dremel 7760 lite fit on this stand?
It’s all about thread at the end of the machine. There is a list of compatible machines on the Dremel website 👍
Page 5 fig. 12 it looks like it's a light bit can't find anything out about it do you know anything about it?
Which manual? What does it say on the page?
@@agimasoschandir the one that came with it
If you like doing inaccurate work with toys, this is the perfect attachment.
So would this work with a stylo?
It will fit anything that uses the same thread as a Dremel
Howdy.
I read one review that claimed the workstation is wobbly and that the holder assembly is plastics and it flexes all over the place. Do You agree ?
Perhaps that author anticipated good heavy metal working which I understand is outside the scope, however.
Regards.
I think you need to realistic about the jobs it can do. No, it’s not going to do the work of a drill press. But making your Dremel more accurate and more useful? Absolutely 👍
it's wobbling as hell, get proxxon instead
I had one, and yes, its wobby, very inacurate.
@@345rvv Howdy.
Ok. Thanks mate.
Regards.
Can a 1 1/2" forestner bit be used?
Only what you can fit in the Dremel. Delicate work really.
@@KingBespokeCreations I want to drill holes in a 4x4 post to hold a tealight candle
@@user-ph7sd8nr5e Forstner bits require more force than a Dremel can do, try a pillar drill like this amzn.to/456uMfq
👍🏻👍🏻
👍👍👊
How much is this setup.
I'm sorry but my device doesn't work accurately. Making holes at 90 degrees has a important error. I'm not happy with this attachment
it has enormous play even on your video and you didnt mention that problem
Do you have a Leprechaun in your workshop?
No why, do have a spare?
Are they making anything that isn't useful and absolutely necessary?
I think I could use Dremel instead of drill, router and lots of files and chisels
They are great for lots of different detail work. 👍
Would you really use this 🤔
Yes definitely. On smaller work and as a way holding the Dremel for other uses it’s great.
this guy sounds exactly like colinfurze and sorta looks like him
A rather large bonking pole? Plungy activity thing?
Am I still on CZcams?
You certainly are! 😂
If, as you claim, that you had not yet opened the box then that was the shittiest packing job I've ever seen a manufacturer make.
Is it precise enough ?? ...too much plastic I think.
The core movement is strong enough. Especially when you use it for the delicate precise work a Dremel is best at 👍
@@KingBespokeCreations Just bought one Workstation 220. Not because of other but because Ive went to dremel line and have to do job fast.
This station and dremel as whole is behave very bad for precise work. It will help to cut roughly some branch, cable, to grind you rust from the car, or like me - to cut the old rusted bolt of the car link assy stabilizer. The station is bending all the way down when you pull the lever, bolts and nuts all the time are loosing, centration is running away, it's pain to center something to 1-2 mm and so on.
Hope so will finish what ive started and going to sell all as a kit and will jump on Proxxon line. Better dont lie people that this sh.. would work for precise and delicate work.
@@alexz7111 I’m sorry you found fault with it. Mine has been worked perfectly since I got it.
@@KingBespokeCreations It's not in mine. I've crafted alot of things with it. It's just not good for more precise work... too much plastic.
When ever I see a silly face like on a thumb nail its an automatic thumbs down. And dont watch it.😀
Bet you miss a bucket load of good vids then! 😂
sadly too much plastic... Plastic is never good news if you need accuracy
Ugh.. Free product for a "favorable" review... 🤦
No such contract exists. If I like the product I’ll say so. If I don’t like it I’ll just give you the facts
This is not a good tool, being all plastic with extra shake rattle and roll!!!
Not even going to watch the video. Stupid thumbnail picture put me off. WHY do people do that. Desperation for views possibly. If you're good you'll be watched without all the theatrics.
Doesn’t matter how good you are, if your thumbnail doesn’t grab attention it won’t get clicked.
Thanks for the click and comment by the way 👍
@@KingBespokeCreations
I was right. Desperation for views.
Interesting looking content sells
Itself.
And just to prove it... I didn't need a stupid thumbnail or even a video to make you click on my reply, did I... ?
Thanks for the click. 👍
