Dremel for PCB

I purchased this drill stand to use with my Dremel MultiPro 395 to drill holes in home-brewed printed circuit boards. Rigidity is important in this application as the carbide drill bits are very brittle and any lateral movement will drilling will cause them to shatter plus hole placement is critical. I found this drill press combination to be fully up to the task.

High speed tool drawbacks .... can be over come!

Just pickup a speed controller for $6. It can be either foot-pedal or dial-adjusted, but you can torque down Dremel tools and use them for intricate detail work. You just plug the Dremel power cord into the outlet on the speed controller and adjust it to the speed you need. I can't use the darn thing when its going faster than a 4 year old, but when the Dremel's speed is variably reduced for the particular job I want it to perform, this press works great!

Just have to think of how to overcome any tool's limitations. Hope this helps other hobbyists.

Dremel 220-01 Rotary Tool Work Station

I am very pleased with this press.
It is not designed for 'ultra' precision drilling but works excellent for my needs.
I think it's a great product for the price.

Cheaply built but does the job

This thing is very cheaply built. Once (painfully) assembled, it works fine. I had problems with wobble until I made sure to tighten down the several screws placed in awkward locations with dubious function. The contraption is far more mechanically complicated than I was hoping, and I expect it will need frequent re-tightening and adjustment to stay stable and centered.

I recommend getting a used real drill press instead.

dremel

It does much of what I want it to do, problem is it is only good for very light work or as a holder for the dremel for some jobs. Many of the parts are plastic and it moves around when the product is in use, any preasure placed on the tool and it distorts from center. I have got good use out of it anyway but it wont take the place of a drill press. If it was made of all metal it would be a sweet tool with few flaws.
