Excellent break down of this drill press! You showed how it works from the inside even! I have the 8250. Would this rub against the attachment like the 8260 that you mentioned? TY! Very well done vid! TY so much! 😀

[@rotarycrafts8760]

Thanks :) I think the hardware on the 8250 and the 8260 is identintical when it comes to size. So yes. But it is not a huge problem, i use the 8260 as my main Dremel for the Drill press. I don't really notice it. But I thought it was worth mentioning. Remove the flex shaft hook from the 8250. that will get hooked on the gray cover on the workstation if you dont :)

@@rotarycrafts8760 The 8260 fits very well. Just turn it 90 degrees in the holder... There is a second hole on the right side for access to the spindle locking button when changing the tool.

[@rotarycrafts8760]

Not quite what we were talking about. You can change bits while in the press, that's true . But the 8260 is thicker than other models, so it will rub against the gray part of the 220 drill press while pulling the lever. Thanks for the input though. :)

Please adjust the play of the spindle. It's a horror to see you working with the wobbling spindle 😮

I was looking for a drill press. Wondered if I should get this for my Dremel or a proper drill press for my drill. For doing lots of drilling for furniture, which one would you get?

[@rotarycrafts8760]

Hi. For furniture I would probably get a drill press. A Dremel is only good for smaller holes, it can drill up to 1/4" and max depth is around 2". With a drill press you have the option to drill larger holes, drill deeper, and use other types of bits like for example forstner drill bits. A good cordless drill also works fine for furniture, a little bit harder to drill straight though. Hope that helps :)

[@obie224]

please do NOT buy this thing. i bought one a few years ago and never used it more than once or twice. it's garbage, all slop and wobble no matter what i tried to stabilize the mechanism, you'll never get an actual round hole, only ovals of different sizes. just buy a cheap drill press, you'll thank me later.

[@WhiteChevy4.8]

Just out of curiosity, cause I've never tried it, how well do you think using the Dremel with this attachment like a router for aluminum?

[@rotarycrafts8760]

You can.... But I would expect too much of it in terms of accuracy. The bits will scew a little bit if too much pressure is put upon them. Maybe if you go really shallow it can work fine.

How to create a rectangular piece of wood into a pipe? Thank you

[@AsterFoz]

does it turn only to the right side?

[@RGun90]

Depends which rotary tool you use but you never really need to run a drill press in reverse

[@AsterFoz]

@@RGun90 what do you mean? I am left handed and need to turn it to the left, not to the right. What does rotary tool has to do with this? For me right side is 'reverse'.

[@diegokha5812]

Yes
