Make sure the locking nuts and levers are secured and there won't be any issues with light pressure and patience. There is a nice break down of the parts that are included in the kit. The instruction manual was worthless, but luckily assembling the press was intuitive. It's not flimsy at all as to what others have claimed it to be. This press has worked like a charm for my projects.
However, the manual would be good for ordering replacement parts if needed. I didn't even secure it to my table top, mainly due to the fact that I was using a 15 lbs drill vise. I was able to drill through aluminum, plastic, and steel (steel took a while) with no problems at all. Before ordering, make sure it is compatible with your unit, it is clearly stated what models the press is compatible with.This was an excellent purchase for $40. Yeah it took a little longer than a regular drill press, but I don't have the space OR the money for one.
The answer is that the attachment is done by the threaded nose of the tool. I'm using it for drilling tiny (0.6mm) holes in PCBs. I manage to drill them very precisely, no more than 0.1mm offset just by hand, and without and optical devices. If yours has the same threading, you should have no problems. Compared to an integral drill press, this one is very cheap and light, but nevertheless rigid and comfortable.BTW, I'm using a Dremel clone, and before buying I was concerned whether this would fit.
The assembly of this tool took no more than 30 minutes which included reading the included manual.The use if this tool is mostly intuitive and easy to setup and use. I would highly recommend this product. I have used the work station 2 or 3 times since I received it last month Jan 2010. It works great.
I love it's multi purpose features.The fact alone that it can hold my heavy rotary tool so I can use the flex shaft easier makes me give this workstation five stars.I haven't used it as an actual drill press yet, but I've used it for all the other uses listed and shown.I have also used it as a reverse router table. Just set the rotary tool to the depth you want and rout away. Be careful if you use it this way too, because the bit is a little more exposed to your hands compared to a normal router table. But I love that I can see what the router bit is doing to the top of the piece of wood I am working on.
Got the machine got the attachments now have the stand set my husband up with a work station that does it all and does not take up much room and keeps him busy lol Amazon your a great place to shop for anything I need. Thank you
