It is shorter and better balanced and less expensive than the Dremel Workstation.

This is a nice thing to have and for the money it's pretty outstanding. Good quality and performs well for the purposes advertised. Would definitely recommend!

Will return for credit. Cheaply made and unstable, should not be stocked.I would have returned but have been in the hospital.In a word: worthless.

ABS plastic was poorly constructed. Didn’t function as intended. Wouldn’t plunge tool correctly. I intend to return item.

I used to successfully drill out tac-welds on a Lithium-ion battery pack terminal header. Would have been better if the drill guide had been more rigid.

It does not hold a standard hand drill in place and is therefore useless.

It works well as a drill press but took me awhile to figure out what to tighten to keep the drill from wobbling on the downward stroke

The thing was too fragile for the for the project. It also could not be adapted for any of my American style drills. I had assumed "rotary tool" meant drill. I could not even give it to a wood worker friend. In my opinion it is a piece of junk.

The drill stand was easy to assemble and well made. My Dremel drill fit nicely in the fixture. The drill stand was a casting that was light weight and of high quality.

This stand is meant to hold a Dremel type tool so you can use the tool like a drill press or to hold the tool so you can move the work with both hands. I found it to fill the bill as long as the project is very light duty. There is an excessive amount of play in the mechanism for any tight repeatability. There are two screws to lock the unit in position but they require a screwdriver. They should be replaced with thumb screws. I was going to use this stand to fashion a mini vertical mill but it is so light that any side load will just bend or twist the unit. Replacing the thin vertical column with a heavy pipe will help with rigidity but then the base becomes useless. This device is OK to drill holes in Printed Circuit Boards or if you have a pilot hole to guide the drill but do not rely on it to give you repeatable results.

Had to turn my Black & Decker rotary tool sideways to fit in the drill press, but it works fine otherwise. It does have a little play when lowering the handle, but I have used it to drill holes in glass, ceramics and pottery with nice results. The cap on the pole does not fit tight so I have to make sure that I don't lose it when traveling with the stand. Nice hobby tool.

Although this tool stand says it is fits the model 398 Dremel tool, it locks the shaft so the Dremel tool cannot turn. It clamps the button used to lock the shaft for bit removal. In general the stand appears cheap and is very light weight in construction. I will be taking it back to Home Depot for a refund.
