Question 1

Hi. Is this suitable for the Dremel 4000?

Accepted Answer

I use the model 4000 dremel and find the 220 workstation to be a definite bonus when doing precision work.  However when I received my workstation I noted that the rotary tool carrier/holder did wobble slightly as reported by some users.  This would cause the whole unit and drill bit to "wander".  Inspection of the 220 revealed a bolt at the bottom of the of the carrier/cradle which when tightened with the supplied spanner removed all this spurious wobble and meant that the workstation could be used the way it was intended.  There is no mention of this "adjustment" in the instructions supplied which is something of  an oversight by the manufacturers/suppliers !!!

Question 2

Hi, Can i drill seaglass with this?

Accepted Answer

Hi Sarah,I don't see any reason why not. I have never tried drilling sea glass myself, but I often drill reasonably fragile materials. I don't know how experienced you are at doing so, but if not, I'd recommend taping, with electric or masking tape over the area to drill to help guide the bit (prevent it slipping), and hold your sea glass in a vice on the base of the stand. Don't apply heavy pressure on the handle, or your sea glass may shatter.  Make sure your drill bit is a sharp, suitable bit and allow the speed of the dremel (high speed) to cut while gently pressing down on the handle of this stand, you should have no problems (apologies if you're already aware of all of the above).

Question 3

Is it possible to install a Dremel Fortiflex Hand Piece instead of the tool body into the holder?

Accepted Answer

I had a look at the thing you were referring to here:- http://www.dremel.com/en-us/tools/Pages/ToolDetail.aspx?pid=9100#.VDWHvBaTEgE. Quick answer is No it does not look like it to me. I regret getting the Dremel Workstation anyway as there was too much play on it. So becomes unusable on metals and very hard surfaces. Will work on wood and plastic though.Cheers.

Question 4

Is anyone using this with a drill press vice and if so which one? It completely slipped my mind when ordering! Thanks.

Accepted Answer

I use a 'Dremel Workstation 220' I bought on Amazon. It also has a longer reference number 26150220JB which I  think ties in with the shorter '220'. It says it is suitable for Dremel 200, 3000 & 4000 printed on the upper frame (head stock) that holds the Dremel power tool.  The power tool is held in place by a plastic nut in the Drill Press that engages the nose thread around the shaft of the power tool.   The Head stock can be rotated and locked at any angle which is useful for other work not requiring downward drill to the base. Works well. Hope this helps.
