Expert Reviews


What experts liked

The tool doubles as a flex-shaft tool stand and rotary tool holder at the same time on top of being a drill press for any hand drill.
The column (or flex shaft) of this Dremel workstation is telescopic and enables you to adjust the height from 16 inches to 29 inches. This allows it to accommodate fairly long materials and we are impressed how this "mini" drill press can accommodate such big-sized materials.
Its telescopic tool stand provides the flexibility to be able to elongate to any height ranging from 16 to 29 inches. The tool holder also gives it the capability to polish, sand and grind various objects and surfaces up to 90 degrees horizontally.
You can drill both perpendicular and angled holes – drills in 15-degree angled increments, up to 90 degrees horizontal
Dremel Drill Press 220-01 work stations come with a tool holder to enable steady operation. With the tool in a firm position, the Dremel 220-01 becomes handy when polishing metals, grinding metal work pieces and sanding tasks. The tool holder can be adjusted telescopically within a height range of 16 and 29 inches.

What experts didn't like

According to some customers on Amazon.com, it's crooked and it breaks easily.
Performance is not the best. This unit will have a lot of difficulty drilling in high-density material like steel. But for low-density materials like wood, plastic or MDF - it works just fine!
The entire machine is composed of equal parts metal and plastic. Because of this, there are instances where significant play and wobbling may be observed as you try to drill into your workpiece especially when working on harder materials.
Made of plastic and metal – all metal would be stronger, but this is supposed to be a cheap option more for crafters
Single mounting point — only a single nut is provided for fastening the rotary drill to the collar. Whereas the operation of the rotary tool workstation is stable with basic crafts, heavy duty work can introduce play and destabilize the unit.
