Customer Reviews
Summary : Dremel for PCB
Review : 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.
Summary : Dynamite mini drill press
Review : Only have used it a few times for small projects but incredibly useful tool. Now the only question, what is the longevity.
Summary : Well worth the cost
Review : After using this 'drill press'/work-station for a little while now, I agree with the higher ratings. I've used it as a drill press, a cut-off tool and a mini-stationary grinder/polisher. If you want a ultra precision drill press, spend 2-4 hundred dollars more or better!
The first thing I did was chuck up a straight 1/8 inch rod and check the squareness to the table with a precision square (use any thing you know is square). With a little creative shimming of the main shaft to the table, check side-to-side and front-to-back. I had to use .oo3" metal shims on one side to get it square.
To drill decent holes, it helps to clamp the workpiece to the table first, if possible. Use an 1/8" center drill to start a hole, then the drill size needed. The German-made #4486 Dremel Chuck is a FANTASTIC accessory allowing quick chucking of the some of the smallest drills up to 1/8" and I highly recommend buying it (I don't take mine off). Common sense dictates that drilling most anything with this workstation needs to be delicate and not 'hogged' out!
I also would give this Work Station a 4-and-a-half star rating based on the price and versatility.
