If you’re reading this, you’re probably already a Dremel owner, and we don’t have to tell you how incredibly versatile this little tool is. Adding the drill press attachment will expand your Dremel capabilities, turning it into a drill press as well as a great stationary sanding tool. We wouldn’t use this in place of a regular drill press, mind you, but it has its own range of uses that a benchtop or floor model isn’t suited for. Precise micro holes are a cinch with the Dremel in this stand; it’s smooth-riding and sturdy, and you Dremel users know how well it drives the smallest bits, the kind a regular drill press would swallow up. We like that you can mount the Dremel horizontally as well, so your Dremel becomes a mini stationary sander—just bring your workpiece to it. We think there are parts, like the base, that could be beefier, but for the price, we like it.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Low End JUNK
I purchased one of these to make my dremel into a drill press for wood - mostly softwood and it has been a terrible experience. The collars that attach the tool do not allow for perfect square alignment and the dremel many times cant seat a bit so there is no wobble. I was disappointed with this tool. I found that MicroMark makes a small hobby drill press (as well as other great tools) that is sturdy, reliable and excellent. It maycost more then the dremel but you do get what you pay for.
A clunky accessory for a great tool
What's the real value of a Dremel? Fine work. (If I need to drill a big hole, I use a big drill.) I use the Dremel with fine drill bits to drill very small holes. That's when I need the steadiness a drill press provides. But the Dremel drill press attachment has way too much play in its various parts and consistently snaps off fine drill bits. My 8" Delta drill press has less play. For now, the Dremel drill press attachment awaits my next garage sale.
Making Dremel more versatile, turn it into a drill press!
The Dremel Drill Press Attachment makes your Dremel tool more versatile by turning it into a mini drill press. The attachment allows you to drill holes and do other precise work without the worry of 'going crooked' as you are working. The attachment keeps the tool lined up and allows you to control it with one hand. The handle allows complete control just like a large drill press. Of course, this is using a Dremel tool and should not be considered a replacement for a large drill press. I highly recommend this attachment and find it very useful for smaller projects.
