Dremel Workstation

[@computiacusa]

Thanks for the excellent video. Yours was the first one where everything was perfect, lighting, camera distance, most important I could hear and understand every word you said.

[@PatH902101]

I appreciate your sense of humor; it is a sign of greater understanding and wisdom.

[@havefunandbikestuffOver40]

just got my 1st dremel 200 for $29 and a mixed assortment of bits in a kit. found your channel and subscribed. good info Matt. thanks.

[@kioyteo3347]

Thank you for a video that was easy for me to follow, showed me everything I wanted to see and even made me chuckle.

[@d00m0racl3]

Matt, here's a tip/trick I learned years ago when 1st beginning to do glasscraft. To avoid that chipping you get on the inside of the bottle fill it w/water & use a cork stopper, drill as you did just now. the water pressure on the inside will not only avoid the chipping, it will also mitigate any cracking or breaking of the glass as you bore through on the other side.

[@MattHeere]

Great tip! Thanks for sharing :)

[@timedrington139]

I really like this workstation and have had one for some time now. Thanks for pointing out that glass/tile bit. I had never come across the 662/663 before and they have come in quite handy.

[@mamabearssheshedtracykeato6941]

I am a small hobbyist. I work with very small cut gems. This would be absolutely perfect for me. I have had my Dremel for over 15 years! Still working and clean. I need so many of these tools to help me in my little Woodshop and Jewelry. Yes I make doll houses out of thin red cedar planks. But I need something that will work for both! I wish Dremel would come out with a 360 degree small pin vise! I have quite a bit of money in my dremel tools. With the cost of some of their bits, sanding discs, and accessories, it also allows me to use Carbide bits, Diamond bits, CNC Diamond bits! I live in a Dremel World and I'm proud of it!

[@saltwithlove2269]

'' I live in a a Dremel World'' - swoon . . You are certainly more than competent , from what you say - just got my first Dremel , and don't know what a carbide bit is , put it that way . Best Wishes from London.

[@kittyrings]

LOL, I'm in the same camp....I work with leather, metal, gems, glass, as well. Been with them for 30+ years.

[@christinaaugusta7101]

Great video, just bought my workstation to drill holes in crystal pendants, so the tips on glass drilling were excellent for me. Thanks!

[@chalieking7411]

great video matt. I'm a great learning' love to see Fitzgerald like you in shop ideas. have a lot of ideas from you Fitzgerald. keep the thinking process.

[@wildbill23c]

I had one of these work stations for a while, never used it and sold it. Wish I knew about the glass drilling idea a few years ago LOL. Great video and demonstration.

[@brightgardenentrepreneuria910]

Great share, and enjoyable to watch. Got one of these cheap off the internet, now to go make dust and shavings.

[@MRrwmac]

Nice addition to the shop! I've used my Drexel to etch glass. Didn't know there was a hole saw for glass. Have fun.

[@luminousglassart]

+MRrwmac Me either. How nice.

[@timdanby6802]

You have as much humorous fun with your tools as I do.Glad to to see someone as nutty as me.Looks Luke you are having more fun a human should be allowed to have!

[@unclegeorge6175]

That was a very good presentation. Now to go buy one. Thanks!

[@Halloween111]

When cutting glass, some put a ring of plumber's putty around where they are cutting the hole, then fill it with water/oil so there is a constant reservoir of coolant/lubricant. Saves on having to keep squirting water and potentially running out.

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

Thanks for sharing. I just bought the Dremel 4200 yesterday. And today I got the flex shaft. DIdn't think I'd need this until I started using it with the flex shaft attached.

[@MattHeere]

+Angie Overton No problem Angie. I need to get a flex shaft. Seems like a very useful add.

[@ukuleledanno]

AWESOME video. Thank you! I just stumbled across this clip, and it answered my question perfectly about "How to drill small diameter holes without getting a HUGE drill press?" You just saved me plenty of time, frustration, and money! I recently bought a Dremel tool, so now I just need to get that workstation...

[@richardshade7323]

I like the cord holder when using the flex shaft keeps it from burning up. Good video liked the glass project programming led modules for mine.

[@matthewhansen112]

I bought years ago and never really used it. Thanks for the refresher!

[@marcelsorger2559]

I'm new to Dremels, but this thing has been great. kzbin.infoUgkxfPgcZ5_Cl0HDUKkMJAKde11YKQZVgMoR The variable speed is awesome and the cordless aspect makes it so easy to work with. I am constantly finding uses for it that make tasks easier. Recently I put in a new deadbolt on one of our doors. I knew I had to enlarge the hold where the deadbolt goes into the door frame. At first I thought I would have to get a big router and figure out how to use it for that, but then I rermembered we have the dremel. I was able to enlarge the hole almost as easy as if I was drawing with a pen. It's also great for grinding our dog's nails done and so many other household tasks.

[@pavan2166]

Just got my new Workstation and you helped me install it. Great Video. Thank You Matt !! -Bangalore, India

[@whitelfner4582]

Something that is nice to have around to keep things in place... Like the glass tray on the Dremel base and the glass bottle in the glass tray... Is a router mat for keeping wood from moving around when routing, or... If you are cheap, like me, they make a rubberized shelf liner that you can pick up at Dollar (and a quarter) tree, 4' x 11" Works great and provides friction when you need it! I keep a roll in the car to put between boards when strapping on the roof rack and makes a nice cheap throw-away tool box liner.

[@rickprice407]

Matt, stress gloves and eye protection with glass. Glass can and does shatter at times and its more fun to get the shards out of gloves than hands and eyes. I usually wear breathing gear too, Amazing how much dust comes along with vapors and gets left in te air. I love mine BTW.

[@lollyrs]

great video - Ive just set mine up and can't wait to start using it

[@juancarlosninoprieto6934]

Gracias Matt, Usted ha explicado mejor que los videos que tiene Dremel Inc.

[@markharris5771]

I don’t have a Dremel rotary tool, I have a 170w VonHaus which has served me well so far and relative to my other tools has had some pretty heavy use. However, I always use Dremel bits and accessories, with the exception of my flexi cable, but the best of all my Dremel bits and bats is the drill press. I have the wood and metal drill bits (Dremel) and a press vice, which allows me to write on brass plate for my photograph frames. Eventually I’d like to be able to do a little carving on my frames also. Great video, I like your manner and the way of explaining things, well worth a subscribe.

[@bethkatz7027]

Wow! Am I glad I found your video - I received a Dremel Workstation for Christmas, and being "direction challenged" I was very leery about putting this thing together. Thanks for the awesome video! It definitely helped!

[@beaumuzzy74]

Nice review..thanks. Was looking at one of these to do some small woodworking sanding and finishing. Nice work bench by the way!

[@wsksklyn2541]

Like your style. Also very informative as I was looking into getting one of these.

[@danielesposito5818]

I love the explanation right up front for the wife.. "I only bought it because it was on sale" --laughing with you ;)

[@richardrobbins4508]

Enjoyed your video. Had a laugh or two. It was interesting. Keep it up.

[@blunt785]

Probably the most eager you-tuber I have come across great to see, supper enthusiasm

[@louispeters2105]

Junk screw can is called the "wonder bucket" because 1 we wonder if what we need is in there 2 it's a wonder how often it saves the day 3 anything making trash into cash is wonderfull! Very good video format. You didn't waist my time. Didn't feed me BS. And as far as I can see you didn't miss anything important

[@Nightxp]

Great video, great review, straight forward and kept the video about the production in question! great for me as i'm looking at getting one. Thanks!

[@saltwithlove2269]

Yes , a competent , concise tutorial . This , in true flatpack etc assembly tradition , had been driving me up the wall . You have cut to the chase - thank you from London . £29.99 , in a sale , before you ask . You do the maths . Best Wishes.

[@catiecallery7955]

Thank you....thank you....thank you.....for making this video! I could not figure out the instructions to put this together so seeing it first hand was very helpful!

[@johnedwards5812]

Great video. I've just spent over two hours fitting the thing together by following Dremel's own vague written instructions. If only I had discovered your video earlier it would have been a ten minute job!

[@nan9mo]

John Edwards - I usually ignore the instructions too, and look at them only IF I have a part or two left over after assembly. That is why we have a 'spare parts bin'! 😁

[@jerryangell7599]

Excellent video. I don't yet have the Dremel Workstation, but after watching your presentation I am seriously considering getting one. Thanks.

[@knecht105]

Thanks Matt ... good reveiw

[@sailgirl52]

Thank you for your videos - this is my first time seeing them. I am a woodworking wannabe...I do own the Dremel 4000 and have for a few years, but am only just now getting the nerve up to actually use it. (Don't judge). Anyway, I am really hoping to learn enough that I can do create some cool projects. I am an artist, but my true specialty is procrastination...trying to change that this year!

[@MattHeere]

No judgement - I specialize in putting things off myself :)

[@animallovefest143]

Matt Heere Do you have any comparison info for the 3000 vs the 4000? Do you like one over the other, is there much of a difference? Is the 4000 battery operated?

[@wendyhoechstetter3236]

LOL, that's my specialty as well!

[@jertex4792]

Thanks for the review, I do some very fine chamfering with diamond bits and have been considering this tool. Looks perfect for the job.

[@emmari0601]

You're my hero, - I can finally use this work station! Thank you SO much! *thumbsup* :D

[@mrk0per]

simple, instructive, honest and overall great. You just got a new sub and I just got a new dremel!

[@wvresident7004]

great video. I just got a display model from my workplace and didn't have a box or manual so I didn't know what the extension tube or the hanger bracket was for.

[@bubbathemaster]

Thanks for the explanation on the air tight black plastic piece. I was thinking I was dumb I couldn't get this thing off and the manual doesn't say anything!

[@shastastan1935]

Very informative and well-done video. I have had this stand for awhile but only used it once. Your video helps my CRS.

[@douglasnakamura6753]

Excellent info, thanks for the video. I just assembled mine and couldn't figure out what the cord holder at the top was for.

[@richardclowes6123]

I have one and it has served me well. Mine is perfectly aligned !! I also do have a commercial grade bench press drill but as Matt says: "it doesn't reach the speeds required for some operations, that the Dremel, or other rotary tools, do".

[@chrismurphy3184]

Well thank you for a excellent outta the box tutorial. Quick, concise and accurate without treating anyone like the village idiot. Subscribed after the first 10 seconds. Mine was $56 but I live in Australia where not much is cheap.

[@Tsch6373]

New subscriber, got the 8220 and now see a need for the drill press when it goes on sale, that and the cable tool. Thank you for your tutorial, very informative and entertaining! Can't wait to see what else you have done.

[@vickyvonstein2331]

i'm about to buy a 200 series and this is so much useful information, mind blown. new sub. keep up the helpful videos friend.

[@rvenneman]

Thanks for taking the time to make this great video. I learned a lot!

[@TYB439]

I bought one of those stands years ago. It worked for the Dremel at the time,..BUT,... not for any Dremel I've bought since, and I own several Dremels. Dremel changes the design and shape of the Dremels frequently, and the accessories are built for only certain models. Once that model is no longer available, your accessory becomes obsolete.

[@wendyhoechstetter3236]

That's a serious bummer! I have several very old (10+ years) Dremels, and I do not want to have to buy another one. I was figuring I'd need a new flex cord, but it sounds like I might even have trouble with that...?

[@pjculbertson55]

Great video. I have found that Windex works a little better than water as a cutting oil. I even use it on my regular press when drilling metal and on sandpaper or stones when sharpening tools. I sound like a Windex commercial. Sorry.

[@MattHeere]

You're right about that. I use glass cleaner when I sharpen as well and it does work better. I use water when cutting glass like this only because you need a continuous stream of fluid, and I'm too cheap to blow through that much glass cleaner as well as too lazy to put the cleaner in an appropriate bottle :)

[@animallovefest143]

Matt Heere Can't you just use a soapy water, by adding a little dishwashing liquid?

[@hectoralers84]

Such a well done and informative demonstration! Thank you Matt!

[@PaulBissekerBushcraft]

Excellent Review and test. Thanks

[@sublimationman]

I know this video is 3 years old but thought I would add something to glass drilling. Get some cheap modeling clay and make a ring out of it, put it around the drill site and fill it with water, the clay acts like a little dam.

[@nan9mo]

'Cause if youre buying dremel workstation you dont have any other tools' Couldnt be more true!

[@maryholt1492]

Thanks for the demo! You did a wonderful job explaining it. I first watched someone else and he did a horrible job!

[@GaryMcKinnonUFO]

Informative AND funny, just got mine today with no instructions and i was wondering about pulling the endcaps off the main pipe. Cheers pal! Liked and subbed :)

[@One_Guy]

excellent video Thanks for posting it!

[@agglad2230]

Matt, Thank you for this review, I will be buying this device tonight (Dremel Rotary Tool Work Station 220-01) I notice many other tools on the background, do you have reviews for those also? (Including the table) Thank you in advance.

[@casaMariaPT]

Hi Matt, nice video. I need to cut an edge groove into 15mm ply furniture board (camper van) to accommodate "t" shaped edging strip, Could the dremel handle that task and what would I need other than the Dremel 4000. Hope you can help, cheers, Dave.

[@MattHeere]

+leylandbobby Well a Dremel will definitely make the cut, but getting it even will be tough. You'll probably want to pick up the kit they sell to turn a Dremel into a drywall "zip saw". It has a base that threads onto the front of the dremel and controls the depth of cut.

[@casaMariaPT]

+Matt Heere Sounds ideal, thanks for getting back to me, cheers, Dave.

[@carlagarcia1783]

I like the 1970 drill stand better for the work i do

[@jakeqwaninne8502]

i've had mine for a little over 2 years, and i find all kinds uf uses for it, originally , i got it for drilling into electric guitars, they ar too odd a shape to get under a drill press comfortably, (at least one i could afford), and this thing can be set up so that you can plunge through the base into a guitar, or whatever else you may need a whole in, it also moves 90dg, and spinsaround the tube, so if your pushing it, it could be a half assed laith, a diagonal hole cutter, kinda like the plunge base that harbour frieght sells , but better built, i love this thing, i just checy the tube now and again to see if anyone came up with new hacks for it

[@Liopot68]

Quick question: not too wobbly because holder is made of plastic?

[@HeadFlowInc]

1/4" adapter to hold tiny bits would work on the drill press.

[@1pcfred]

+HeadFlowInc Yes but your peripheral surface speed would still be too slow to efficiently use smaller diameter drill bits. The smaller diameter the bit, the faster you need to spin it, for the cutting edge to maintain the same speed. A sixteenth of an inch is about as small as you want to go, when your drill press only goes 3850 RPM. Which is fine for most folks. But if you actually do need to drill smaller holes then you need to use a tool with higher RPM than most drill presses can manage.

[@HeadFlowInc]

+Paul Frederick Math can be fun, try to determine what method is used by the drill press manufacturer to calculate speeds. In the same way a smaller diameter tire effects it's turning rotations per MPH the smaller the drill bit size should incrementally increase it's RPM. Does this theory sound legit?

[@1pcfred]

HeadFlowInc I know the peripheral speed formula. It is (PI x DIA. x RPM) / 12 = SFPM (Surface Feet Per Minute)

[@HeadFlowInc]

+Paul Frederick So (2.14 x .125 x 3850) = 1029..875 rpm. Interesting how counterintuitive that formula appears to be. I'm still not catching how the tiny drill bit would turn slower than the drill assembly?

[@1pcfred]

HeadFlowInc PI = 3.1415927 The drill turns the same RPM, but the outer surface speed is slower, the smaller the diameter is. Conversely the larger the diameter, the more surface goes by per rotation. This adds up to a higher peripheral surface speed than a smaller diameter drill bit has.

[@PaulVoudouris]

thanks, matt!

[@johnwhite1608]

great tutorial, from UK

[@ozzstars_cars]

can never have enough tools to get the job done

[@defenda1]

If your tool has lost its hanging clip, you can make another one from a couple of cable ties - use one tie to hold another tie tight around the base of the cord, then set the second tie into a loop and cut the end so it stays that size. Works fine.

[@melchristensen8282]

And here I am eyeing up what looks like some Dewalt drills in the background. Looking to get a Dewalt jigsaw. Wondering if this guy has any vids on them, but this is a good vid and now I'm tempted to get the workstation for my Dremel. :)

[@JCAM-z9r]

Very clear information in setup. Thank you. Only wish you had recorded a bit closer so I could better see the parts you reference.

[@johonatkinson3474]

Great review. To be honest I was about to change the video at 2:45 but the cut scene to you wearing a hat to not wearing a hat was so quick I was expecting you to cut to a scene with you not wearing a shirt. That would have been funny. Lol

[@wernerhiemer406]

At least it wasn't needed to cut a hole into that hat to pull it off that polished end. Otherwise some sharpy ended up into soft matter.

[@jessielanzetti9420]

This looks great . How well would it go through a Quartz stone? Also I want to take my dremel and make it a mini table saw is there any way I can do that?

[@couerleroi1]

You are a talented teacher

[@antilleangrackle]

Fantastic video!! Thank you!

[@ajantics]

Thank you for the very helpful and informative video!

[@NiamorH]

tilting the dremel horizontally can be useful in the case you want to replace the drill bit. when the dremel is vertical, I just can't manage to do it with only two hands.

[@bullitt3980]

I think the nut and bolt that locks the upright pole is a good ideal, if threads were in the aluminum base they would get stripped by over tightening.I just set mine up today and was a little upset the flexible extension could not be used while the tool in the Workstation.

[@WickedZen]

Great video. Have seen mixed reviews on this, and was wondering how it it has worked and held up for you?

[@MattHeere]

No complaints. It's not a tool I use daily, but it does get used and it's held up just fine.

[@WickedZen]
