drill press for the hobbyist
fits the dremel (not included with the press), i have used it and it functions just like my shop drill press does, only at a much smaller scale. its not meant to be used for very tough or hard jobs. it is clearly a hobby drill press and yes, it fulfils the role just fine. i use it for different types of model, plastic, wood, paper. works just fine be careful when using very fine drill bits, there is a "little" play in the mount of the dremel, a slight wabble, but very fine and did not ruin the parts i used it on. i used it quite a bit too. i recommend it for hobbies only and remember the golden rule.. patients and safety is key when using any type of machinery, no matter what the size is of the machine

Great stand for your rotary tool, but it has its limits.
The Milescraft Rotary Tool Stand is a useful accessory for your rotary tools. It can be used for such things as a drill press or to just hold your rotary tool allowing you to better hold the part you are working with (like having a third hand).However, I need to point out that this stand is not designed to do precession work with your rotary tool. If you are looking for something small to do any drilling that requires a tight tolerance, you maybe better off looking at looking one of the many small table top drill presses available that don't cost too much more.Assembly and disassembly (for easy storage) is fast and easy. The instructions that come with it are easy to follow too.The base is die cast aluminum and lightweight measuring about 7" x 10" with a work area of 6" x 6". A heaver cast iron base would have been nice to make the unit more stable. However for small light work the stand is stable and it also comes with three #8 screws and rubber feet to allow you to screw the base to your work bench to improve stability.The vertical support column is a lightweight tube that presses into the base and is held secure with a single bolt at the back of the base. The over all height of the stand is about 15", including the base. The "tool holder bracket" can easily be adjusted anywhere up or down the vertical tube which gives you about 12" of adjustment vertically. A heaver threaded vertical support column would have been nice feature to help improve stability. But the press fit of the tube into the base are a nice tight fit.This stand is design to be used as a drill press when your rotary tool mounted in the vertical position, but as I pointed out earlier, it is not for precession drilling. The tool holder bracket is designed to allow approximately 2-1/2" of travel when used as a drill press. However the tool holder bracket can be adjusted anywhere along the vertical column for short or taller jobs. There is also an adjustable depth gage with a depth stop collar to control the depth of your drill which is nice if you need to repeat your drill depth.I did find a slight play in the "tool holder bracket" while using it as a drill press, but I was able to easily eliminate just about all of the extra play by placing a thin piece of plastic between the "depth shaft" and the lower guides.Pros:LightweightEasy to assemble and disassemble for easy storageHolds rotary tool vertically or horizontally for ease of workingCan be used as a mini drill pressCan be easily fastened (screwed) to your work bench for added stabilityCons:Lightweight base and vertical column makes the stand not stable as it could be if not fastened down.Loose fitting design when used as a drill press allowed extra play (not for precession work)

Really versatile jig
This rotary tool holder turns your rotary tool into a drill press. For the price, you get the press base, an upright pole, and an adjustable plunging jig that affixes to the pole. The base is very stable, and comes with soft rubber feet that prevent slipping. The jig is very versatile, and can be attached to the pole either horizontally or upright for plunging or for horizontally stabilizing the rotary tool to use for something like routing.I used my dremel with this press, and putting everything together was very simple. The Dremel screws onto the jig, so it's held very solidly with a custom threaded collet. The rotating portion of the dremel sticks through the hole in the bottom of the jig and can be accessed normally.When I received this in the mail, the included instructions were for a different tool, and just a sheet of stapled together printer paper -- but the whole thing is very simple to assemble, so really the instructions were not terribly necessary. I ended up finding an assembly video on YouTube, and looking at the listing on Amazon, I see that that same assembly video is in the pictures as well. So, no harm no foul, and the tool itself is extremely useful and solidly built.

Not for Precision Drilling.
The device appears to be solid and well made but the amount of wiggling around it does when you bring it down with the handle. Really lacking in precision. For non-precision drilling it is OK. Returned

Great tool for it's designed use. Great customer service from Milescraft.
This tool is is a great product and Milescraft is a stand up company with great customer service. The tool is exactly and described and does exactly what it should. It is a dremel type tool press. It is not a milling machine. I had no issues with poor castings that needed to be fixed. I assembled the press, installed a Teccpo rotary tool and put it to work drilling 1/8” holes in plastic. The tool fit in the press perfectly using the Milescraft supplied locking ring and it did a great job.Amazon’s customer service for this order was terrible. The original order arrived with parts missing and the box with the tool in it torn up. The shipping box was in good condition. The tool had obviously been returned previously. The fact that they would ship a product in this condition is ridiculous. Prime free delivery and free returns apparently does not mean free exchanges when you receive a faulty product. I was offered an exchange for a limited number of different products. An exchange for the same product was explicitly not allowed.A single email to Milescraft resulted in a new tool delivered with a shipping label to return the faulty one.Great job Milescraft!
