I wish I’d never bought it. I bought this work station & a dremel to go with it to use as a PRECISION drill press for handcrafting jewellery. This was to accompany the Italian flex shaft I already own.Intending to accurately drill holes in Sterling Silver & Gold, I have tried this many times now to no avail. There is too much movement in the work station to accurately do anything. And yes my Dremel work station is bolted to my work bench.While the work station can be manipulated in many ways/heights & angles these adjustments become inaccurate upon tightening up the thumb screws to lock these positions in. There is so much movement in the tightening, that you never get close to what you were aiming for by the time it is secure enough to use.As well as this the ‘pull down leaver’ is spongy and has side to side movement during the last centimetre or so of travel – no hole is ever drilled exactly in the planned position.The spongy pull down leaver also has a spring…

Or the way I use it is to place the bits and collets I’m going to use for whatever project that I’m working on at the time because I put all my bits and things up when done and cover the station to prevent dust build up.The telescoping tool stand holds the tool when you are using the FlexShaft(tm). The base of the station has both metric and standard symbols as does the depth gauge…
