Is it a Drill Press? RYOBI RHS01 Rotary Tool Hobby Station

[@geoffgarrett5622]

This press has worked like a charm for my projects kzbin.infoUgkxajoEbapTfqWaadnqb04h6U576yxXp-FE . I didn't even secure it to my table top, mainly due to the fact that I was using a 15 lbs drill vise. It's not flimsy at all as to what others have claimed it to be. Make sure the locking nuts and levers are secured and there won't be any issues with light pressure and patience. I was able to drill through aluminum, plastic, and steel (steel took a while) with no problems at all. Yeah it took a little longer than a regular drill press, but I don't have the space OR the money for one.The instruction manual was worthless, but luckily assembling the press was intuitive. However, the manual would be good for ordering replacement parts if needed. There is a nice breakdown of the parts that are included in the kit. 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!!

[@jenniferjenkins991]

I am a crafter and this would be great for drilling small holes into the wood earrings I make for the hardware. It’s not for everyone and that’s fine. It’s the perfect size for my office and small vacuum I have. Will buy a small cart on wheels for it to be mounted onto a piece of wood with the drill battery and such on the shelves below. My next buy for sure!!

[@Shoptoolreviews]

That sounds like a great application for this. Thanks for watching.

[@henryskinner1092]

Wonderful.

[@davidcwilkerson]

I bet I could model up and 3D print an adapter to make the cable driven one work with it 😁

[@celeronceleron5595]

The hook on the the top is used to hang the rotory tool when using it with a flex shaft, cause without hanging the tool the tool won't stay put.

[@celeronceleron5595]

Those flex shafts are meant for doing precision work by hand. The first time I saw one was in the 7th grade. Some students were working with the flex shaft to carve objects inside acrylic blocks like roses, Moses, bust of Jesus, all kinds of stuff. Then they had to paint them, and fill the hole in with more acrylic.

[@celeronceleron5595]

To determine if your collet is perpendicular to the table place a straight rod in the collet and check it with a square, or a 123 block, or some such. Or Put a straight z shaped wire in the collet and turn the collet. If it doesn't touch on one side adjust the angle. Or build an angle gage with a dial indicator like Mr Pete ( Tubal Cain ) did and tram it in very precisely.

[@thechooch]

I need those. It'll really bring the band back together

[@marnienrichaaron5813]

I wish that Ryobi would come out with a real 18v drill press.

[@ChrisLoos1]

Seconded

[@philscott7949]

Thank you for speeding up the boring bits. Too many KZbinrs try an create "suspence", which lets everyone down.

[@jeffreymoffitt4070]

This would be perfect for my uses! I make minatures for TTRPGs and often need a holes drilled in bases and this would be perfect!

[@andyvan5692]

for the dremel, try hanging the motor from the extended support hook, this allows the 'handpiece' accessory which by the way has the same thread & protector on it, to fit in the bottom threaded part easily, giving the flexability to use as a drill press, mill, etc.

[@CincinnatiDJL]

That Ryobi workstation looks to have so much flex in it. What good is it as a drill press? I was interested in it till I saw this video.

[@jfil5518]

Thank you for creating this video, very informative.

[@klarklasst6107]

The hanger on the extension pole is there to use to hang your rotary tool if you would like to use a separate hand-piece - Attached by a flex shaft. The flex shaft is attached to the ryobi and the main power unit hangs up there. I noticed you sort of fumbled on the assembly of this to the base as well. From those 2 things I want to ask if you read the assembly instructions. For some people it may looked like something was manufactured poorly. But it was clear that you didn’t know what you were doing. I thought I appreciated your videos but now I gotta say, If you want people to be educated about a product because you’re making that kind of overview video, please read the assembly instructions. Also, you guessed aloud about what the function of the tool was, and guessed wrong. That was unprofessional. Maybe say, “I’m guessing here”. And, yes, you were wrong. You look at a lot of different tools. Is that a lot to know? Is that an overly high expectation? No. Truthfully, this tool and many that you’re presenting are a unique tool, with no pre knowledge of that tool really being possible to have. Because nothing exactly like this version of the tool has been created before. Obviously the viewer wants accurate info. Read the manual. Read the assembly instructions. Now I’m rethinking other videos you’ve made thinking, is this tool kind of a fail? ..Or is it you just didn’t read how to use it? This one: you didn’t read how to use it, and you didn’t read how it’s put together. Kinda came off as a hack. Sorry man.

[@klarklasst6107]

…also the plastic ring that you took off to mount the Dremel brand tool is NOT used to change your bits. As you said it was. Not at all. You forgot that 5 minutes earlier you did that exact same change out with the ryobi version. Also, you say that “there’s no way to know if your bit is drilling 90° perpendicular to the base”……what about using what we use for any drill press tool? A small machinist square placed to the bit and base. And so, if you are pre - indenting / marking the material that you’ll drill with and awl, I assume that there will be zero movement on the ryobi tool when it drills. Providing that, like any drill press use - you’re not pulling down the lever stupid fast and instead you’re feeding the bit into the material and letting the bit cut it’s way in. ….like you do when using any drill press tool. Clearly this is not a 100lb drill press. But it’s obviously not even suggesting it’s in that market. It’s small, light weight, awesome vacuum attach feature….It has a completely different user type and purpose. Just so many miss - statements here.

[@bornstellarnova1991]

thank youuu. geez. this guy felt and sounded like he assumed alot without stating that he did or did not read any instructions about to how to operate this. I'm a Ryobi guy and this popped up and I thought oh hey, what's that? it looked interesting so I clicked thinking this guy knew what he was doing but I guess not. Thanks for clearing a lot of misconception here.

[@b4zz3d59]

He said he didn't see the instructions, which wasn't a good start. He should have read them before starting. Take it constructively and do better for yourself and your viewers. Good luck.

[@chrisohara2325]

We’re there instructions included? He did mention he didn’t see any. Difficult to read if they aren’t supplied. Having said that maybe they should be available on the website?

[@andyvan5692]

No, the cord holder is not just for electrical cords, other 'rotary' tools, called handpieces, used by jewelers, power carvers, etc. have these, and they don't have the motor on them, they have a separate motor, with a flex shaft which drives the chuck at the handpiece end, and they too don't like tight radius in the cable, so this helps keep the driveshaft steady.

[@Doc.Holiday]

I don’t listen to unboxer’s and was disliking and shutting you down when I heard you say, “I don’t normally do unboxing”, so I came back to make this comment. You should go with your instincts.

[@vidalexperience]

Thanks for the videos

[@hondolane7442]

awesome information on all your teachings. Do you know if it will fit a Chicago Rotary tool

[@lubintasevski5985]

Too bad they didn't just come with an adapter for the pro tool that you have. I'm sure you can probably find one to make it work. Also does the wobble affect the quality of drilling or bevels, or other uses? It would be nice if there was some sort of clamping mechanism to hold the rotary tool in place from a 2nd location.

[@celeronceleron5595]

I think I'm going to look into that, if it has a metal base I might get one for my Non-Dremel Roto Tool from HF. I know, I'ld rather have a Dremel, but long story. Actually I'ld rather have a 2.0 Amp Dremel 400 XPR, but they quit making them because no one ever read the manual and they burned them up. Uh, don't ask me how I know. Ok, I self warranted the tool. I had to get the job done.

[@TheRoadDawg]

The only benefit I see is the ability to have a semi-accurate 1” mini drill press. I wanted one of these, but don’t see a real reason to get one. Thanks for the video anyway.

[@celeronceleron5595]

You hang the tool from the hook by the metal hoop on the tool. Bought my first Dremel in 1990.

[@gx.santiago9604]

Thanks for including the m12 rotary I wonder how it compares with Dremels workstation .

[@chrisharris1522]

I have the Dremel one they are basically identical except for the base

[@james2042]

It seems ryobi is getting a lot of the tooling for some of their new small stuff from the M12 line, the designs are very similar

[@jarekmace1536]

Other than the oversized base, this is a near-exact copy of the Dremel drill press.

[@lawrencegatt4515]

Love ❤️ your videos 🇦🇺

Thank you thank you.

[@206stonner]

put a square from the table to the bit to see if its square all the way around

[@evan2290]

Thanks for the review.,do you know of a good press for the nicest ryobi rotary tool? (The brushless one with aluminum the case)

[@costavong6018]

the dremel set table I bought for 65 ten years ago and machine itself is 99, so this ryobi isn't that expensive compare, I assume quality is almost the same

[@houseboat732]

In the intro you mentioned a portion of the video would be dedicated to pricing and warranty. Did I miss that section? I feel like I watched the whole video for it but missed that part.

[@hellsfirefreedomtube6984]

If you know someone with a 3D printer you could maybe have them make an adapter for other dremals

[@joshsmith2483]

What is the name of your pegboard in the background?

[@jensendisuyo4181]

The amount of flex it has kind'a defeats its purpose.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

We agree. That's exactly what we said in the review. it's a DIY/hobbyist tool. Thanks for watching.

[@AG-cg7lk]

They overengineered every part apart from the key part that needed it. Just touching it made it flex all over the place. Plastic crap.

[@Gorilla_Jones]

I think you're all missing the point of this. It's a HOBBY press, not a drill press. This is perfect for people who 3D print and need to do precision holes. It's not for drilling into 3/4 inch stainless you dummies. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Dronestuff77]

Have you tried printing 3D part that could fit in? Worth a shot!

[@twiztid664]

Of course the m12 works in there. They are both made by tti

[@aphleesegurtra2820]

they want that Dremel market share 😂

[@scottthroop6208]

The hook at the top is to hang the rotary tool by the rear D-ring while using a flex shaft pen grip attachment.

[@MrPlastkort]

wonder how I can get this in norway :(

[@emmettturner9452]

“One hundred dollhairs?” Strange that it’s on clearance now for the same price. Also strange that they have the incompatible 18v Ryobi rotary tool on clearance right next to it. Odd pair to put on clearance together.

[@willmorton6800]

I don't know, that looks really wobbly. This looks like it's completely made of plastic. Is it as cheaply made as it looks?

[@celeronceleron5595]

That explains why you don't know about the hanging Dremel. According to that thumbnail, you have a dedicated tool for the flex shaft! You can attach the flex shaft to the Dremel though. But then you can never have enough tools.

[@c1bear1]

It’s the same design as the Dremel one just with a larger table

[@jondonut1810]

If it's hollow underneath you can weigh it down with lead weights like those fisherman 🍻

[@JohnOfAllTrades27]

Looks handy but I wish someone would make one with a lot less slop for more precision.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

That would definitely be a good idea. thanks for watching.

[@DavZell]

​@@Shoptoolreviews Could you review the Dremel stand for comparison?

[@andyvan5692]

yes, too much difflection, for precision work you need a micro mill or a jig borer, look up Aceria Boley, Lorch, watchmakers use them, Very accurate, plus they have lights and microscope accessories to align the tool to the work acurately.

[@strykerentllc]

$100? Harbor Freight would be proud. Noting HF, they have a tabletop drill press for $85.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

But do they have a hobbyist drill press for rotary tools? Thanks for watching.

[@gx.santiago9604]

Eventually it’ll be on sale , pretty much every ryobi tool I’ve gotten has been on sale for a steal

[@strykerentllc]

@@Shoptoolreviews It's the bench top drill press made of Chinesium for $85. Simply chuck the rotary tool bits in the chuck and enjoy! Work smarter not harder! LOL We'll stick with the FOREDOM TX flex shaft for detail work and for machining the Bridgeport wins, albeit those machines aren't easy on the wallet. Cheers!

[@strykerentllc]

@@gx.santiago9604 Can't see what this thing is good for to be honest. It's not accurate so freehand working would be on par with it.

[@chrisharris1522]

I am assuming that you say assuming a lot. Great video - thanks

[@celeronceleron5595]

Is the base metal?

[@macrumpton]

So for about the price of a harbor freight drill press you can get a flimsy stand to hold a Dremel? I think I will pass.

[@limebulls]

Does the rhs01 work with the ryobi pblrt01b ?

[@joeschmoe6908]

It's a cool idea but there's so much slop. It's more like a toy or a clever miniature drill press than an actual tool. Not that you couldn't use it to machine small parts, but I feel like I would be more efficient working by hand.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Agreed. Too much movement to be anything Pro. Thanks for watching.

[@annbutler8302]

Hence Hobby Station in the name

[@deanparkes4644]

RTFM please mate.

[@the-papaw]

looks a little too wobbly to me, especially when hobbies usually require some good precision

[@johnzablan1086]

Dcf900 please

[@celeronceleron5595]

All rotary tools should fit cause all are knock offs of the Dremel Moto Tool. Any which don't fit are trying not to be a knock off even though they are. So if you should ever have one that doesn't fit just consider it as an extra tool to help cut down on bit changes.

[@ccash001]

What Ryobi case is that?

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Their 12V Rotary Tool (Dremel).

[@towpathguitars]

What about the 18v Ryobi cable dremel?

I think you're better off making jigs and mods to a decent drill press.

[@romeobarcelona9497]

Where’s the DCF 900 video?

[@juanc5149]

Honestly I don’t think his bolt rig can handle the dcf900. I bet he stripped a few bolts during filming.

[@henryskinner1092]

When in doubt, read the freaking instructions.

[@davep4703]

Far too much flex for my liking, think the Dremel stand is more secure.

[@hiltong524]

Metric?

[@tmaya890]

Honestly an insult to our intelligence; really vague comments, instructions, description of what the product can actually do. The presenter keeps saying let's figure this out, we Could probably do x,y,z, I haven't read the instructions but I would assume x,y,z.....in summary not clear presenter lack of preparedness to be commercially recommending the product. A huge missed opportunity to capture new tools buyers always looking to maximize their time and have the best quality finished project.

[@Whizzhya]

I don’t know if he is talking to me or just talking to himself and I’m listening

[@user-jl9kw9gn3m]

That does look flimsy. Dremels' looks sturdier and accepts the Ryobi tool.

[@juanc5149]

I mean at least it’s not 2000.00 like the Dewalt one.

[@uvodee]

I have about 25 Ryobi products, will pass on this, far too much play, hole looks 3x the size of the drill bit!!!

[@dbarker79]

Brrruuuhhhhh.....this guy will NEVER borrow any of my tools! Das ah damn elephant in a china shop! Holyshiot!

[@DSCircleJockey]

Wow, we can obviously see the motor flopping all over the place while in use and changing bits. Disappointing.

[@jimspc07]

It has the same problems as the 20 year old Dremel single pole stand as a drill press. Its bloody useless. It wobbles all round creation. And the Dremel one was all metal. Also it would have been a little better if you had at least glanced through the instructions. But then instructions have no bearing on reality do they. You may have found with reading that the hand tools on the extensions do not fit the press. They are for freehand work.

[@dremelWtf]

Also, you have to make sure all screws are probably tightened and torqued to prevent wobble (dremel workstation 221-01), watch the length of your workspace, and tweaking the depth gauge up or down to soot your liking.

[@madkow007]

that's a lot of flex even for a hobbyist/crafter. I'll pass on this and stick with my Milescraft 1097 ToolStand and it's metal and 60 bucks cheaper and does the same thing...ok no sucky port, but ya

[@TheoSloat]

A thumbs down for all the people in Australia who liked the video

[@myshots101]

It's plastic, you can see that thing wobble a mile away. By the way what's with the sun tanning on this video? Lol

[@strykerentllc]

Yeah, it's a nonstarter. The lighting is likely halogen or incandescent, hence the tan look.

[@MrMetalpunx]

I’ll give you 45$ 😂

[@brianpentecostaldeplorable9841]

It looks like it was made in China, about 25 years ago.........

[@deansamuelson4441]

Wow what a lame accessory , I can't believe how cheesy it looks on camera . From the demonstration it appears, column not stiff enough for driling, wabbels all over the place - whole base too light to stay in place on work surface - the rotary adjustment off 90 degrees seems almost useless , cumbersome to adjust. A person contemplating a perchase of this accessory at $99.99 would be better off buying a table top drillpress which Ryobi also makes.

Plastic toy, exactly what I would expect from Ryobi.
