030 to 2 mm and so far so good. If your looking to make high precision holes ...

First off I'm not at all surprised that people are saying it's not accurate. When I received it, just about everything was lose including the bolt that holds the plastic rotatory tool mount to the rack. If you tighten everything including the brass set screws that slide along the rack and the depth guide pin, you can hold tolerances the naked eye is not likely to notice. I use it for jewelry, jets and orifices bits .030 to 2 mm and so far so good. If your looking to make high precision holes you need to start them with a center punch or a center drill.

good news is that it works perfectly

When I was looking through all the reviews I couldn't find anyone mentioning if it works with the WEN rotary tool. Well, good news is that it works perfectly.

Very Versatile!!

This Dremel Work Station is awesome. I'm lucky enough to have two Dremel rotary tools, one of which is a 25 year old Craftsman brand. This older model is dedicated to the work station in the drill press part. Following the instructions for mounting, I find it very stable as a drill press, but also love the ability to turn it to the 90 degree position to use as a grinder and sander. You need to follow some simple drill press rules, like center punching before you drill, securing the item to be drilled, using the right speed, pressure, and type of bits. When using small bits, even my big drill press will "wander" if the place to be drilled has not been centered punch. So buy a good quality (Starrett), small center punch (1/16"), and your life will be much easier. Also, get a small drill press vise to secure your work. My newer Dremel 4000 hangs from the work station's hanger and has a flex shaft attached to it. Then, it is accessible for use away from the work station without having to unmount it. Another nice feature is the bit and wrench holder. While I have keyless chucks on both my tools, it's nice to have the wrench handy. Also, having the bits, stones, sanding discs at hand is a real time saver. It's a very versatile addition to my work bench!

Nicely designed, and effective

Assembly was easy, it looks well-built but it is light with a lot of plastic, so I don't imagine it would handle any roughness but this isn't a construction tool either. I mention this because it is best to anchor it somehow when you use it. I was a little disappointed that the flex shaft will not hook up to the Dremel while it is on the workstation. If you are going to use the Flex shaft, then you need to hang the Dremel from the hanger that comes with this workstation and this causes the device to be top heavy and given the light weight it will tip over if not anchored. This is more of an inconvenience since if you are using the flex shaft then go to the Dremel for other work you need to take it down and put it together. Otherwise I am pleased with this, it is easy to use, fits my Dremel 3000 perfectly and has all the features that keep your work space clean. I look forward to a lot of hobby use out of this.

Great Dremel Press

I just love this Dremel drill press station. The construction is very solid with mostly metal parts. Some parts use hard acrylic plastic but are quite sturdy. This makes an excellent addition if you have a dremel drill and need a vertical drill press. This press also has the ability to change the angle from straight-down (90 degrees) to other angles as well. The press has adjustment to position the drill head at various heights on the shaft as well. The critical parts come already assembled. There is some assembly required and there is an instruction booklet. But the instructions were not clear and left some critical steps out: For example, when assembling the metal shaft, which comes in two pieces, one narrower than the other, you have to insert the smaller shaft into the larger shaft from the bottom. Not explained in the instructions is how to mount the dremel into the press: On your dremel you have to unscrew the ring at the head where you insert drill bits, then mount the dremel in the press ensuring it is 90 degrees perpendicular, and re-screw the head ring onto the dremel which secures it to the drill support mechanism. Anyone that has a dremel should have this drill press !

Simple, Precise... Excellent purchase for my Dremel 3000!

I was disappointed with the packaging...I didn't get a manual and it looked like some POS opened my box and took stuff out (probably took the manual) However, thats on the supplier not the manufacturer and I'm here to rate the product and not the packaging. So let's get to that... I was a bit wary about purchasing this product because of certain reviews that stated that the precision wasn't good. Nonetheless, I went with my gut and got it anyway. What a damn good idea... glad I thought of it! For those who are saying it's not precise enough or it's too wobbly... I say to you... "read the instructions and tighten your sh!t up". Right now I'm working with an 8 mil (0.2 mm) end mill that I got from a circuit board milling machine. The pictures will attest to its accuracy. First picture is a pen marking of where I wanted to cut. Second pic is of the hole I made with the end mil (the hole is bigger than 8 mils because making holes is not the bit's purpose). Third pic is a comparison of a 1/8 inch dremel engraving cutter and the 8 mil end mill. All comparisons made to a dime. Moreover, the station is free standing on my living room table... not bolted down...and I'm not even using clamps on the wooden board I'm testing on. As I said... read the instructions (I had to find them online :/) and make sure everything is tightened and I guarantee this will work for any small project you can think of.

Great for drilling holes in agates for beads!

I am a novice. This is my first venture into drilling. I wanted to make beads out of my polished agates. The station is simple, and even though I had no idea what I was doing, figured out how to hook up my new Dremel 4000 and drill holes with a 1mm diamond burr grinder. It fits on a countertop with little space, so I can work just about anywhere. The holes look great; it gets the job done!

Best addition to my "workshop

Best addition to my "workshop." I have a portable workbench and toolboxes that I keep in a storage closet and use on the back porch when I need to fix something or, as an example, help my son finish off his Pinewood Derby car. I have precious little storage and working area, so adding a tool means I consider it worth the resource (money, space) investment. It really made some critical small jobs much easier. It held the Dremel at a 45-degree angle for last-minute edge sanding, 90-degree angle for routing out the back end of the car to insert weights, and 180-degree angle for re-shaping the sides after the design concept changed. The base is nicely weighted and very sturdy. Not really using the crow's nest at present for anything except the onboard tools needed to adjust it, but the hanging hook was terrific for keeping the Dremel cord secured. I bought the flex shaft for use on some intricate polishing chores and am looking forward to testing out the hanging hook for the drill itself. All in all, I'm very pleased with this purchase.

Pretty well designed.

This was pretty well designed, in keeping with Dremel's reputation for quality products. There was very little "play" when using this drill press with tiny carbide bits I use for drilling circuit boards. That's an essential quality as carbide bits are very brittle and break with even the slightest lateral movement. Being able to tilt the roto tool is a nice feature for sanding and grinding, or for drilling at an angle. I would recommend it for small parts drilling and grinding.

Great Help For A Great Price

Makes what I'm doing much easier. It gave me a bit of an issue getting it together, but that was because I was over thinking it. Easy to put together. You can use it without screwing it into a work bench or table, though if you're doing some delicate work, or some heavy work, I'd recommend it, or at least C-clamping it to a bench or table. It keeps the Dremel sturdy, and in multiple positions, eliminating a bunch of errors you'd make other wise. So, far it's working splendidly for my needs. I would recommend it for people who are doing a number of projects, just nothing that more professional equipment would require. I'm new to jewelry (stones) cutting and making, along with making, and repairing some other smaller things around the house, and it's working just fine for that. You have to be careful when adjusting it up and down, since like almost any machine, it can drop quickly, or the bolt might fall out that holds it together. If you get the swing of that, it should last you quite a while.
