Dremel WorkStation 220 Original Instructions Manual page 8

Your Dremel Workstation 220 will convert rotary tools
to a drill press for drilling, to a tool holder for sanding
or polishing, or to a flex shaft tool stand.
THIS TOOL IS NOT INTENDED FOR PROFESSIONAL
USE.
1. Assemble the tube to the base and secure with hex
bolt and square nut.
2. Insert the square nut (short end first) into the press
and install the height adjustment lever. Place the press
onto the tube and tighten lever.
3. With press in vertical position, insert square nut inside
the drill press and assemble the angle lock lever to
the press.
4. Install the crow's nest on the tube with small holes
facing up.
5. Install the cord holder.
6. Install the hanger wire and cap.
7. The base must be secured to a workbench using the
appropriate size screws or bolts (not supplied).

with only one tool at time. Do not a
hang tool on hanger assembly when another tool is
mounted in the press.
The Crow's Nest tool storage will hold the following tools
(not supplied):
• Drill bit set (Model 628 or 636)
• Rotary tool wrench
• Mounting wrench
• Bits with shank size less than or equal to 3.2 mm
• Rotary tool collets (Model 4485)
NOTE: The drill bits are held in the tool by a collet system.
The bit may be installed before or after the rotary tool is
installed in the drill press.
Remove any adjusting key or

wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or a key attached to a rotating part
of the power tool may result in personal injury.
1. Depress and hold the shaft lock button while rotating
the collet nut and shaft. Continue to rotate the collet
nut and shaft until the lock engages and holds the
shaft (PICTURE 2).
2. Use the wrench from your Dremel Rotary Tool and turn
the collet nut counterclockwise to loosen it.
3. Release the shaft lock button.
4. Insert the drill bit into the collet as deep as possible to
ensure proper gripping of the bit and to minimize run
out. Do not insert the bit so far that the flutes touch the
collet or collet nut to avoid chipping or cracking the bit.
5. Re-engage the shaft lock button and tighten the collet
nut; first by hand, then using the wrench until bit is
held securely.
6. Insert the rotary tool into the press with the spindle
lock to the front. Clamp the tool to the tool bracket by
tightening the clamp nut (PICTURE 3).

NOTE: When clamping rotary tool in holder, make sure tool
is seated properly and vent openings are not covered.
7. Twist the top tube counterclockwise to loosen and
enable the tube to be adjusted up or down. After
desired height is achieved, turn tube clockwise to
tighten it (PICTURE 5).
NOTE: Tube should not be extended when tool is being
used in tool holder.
Insert the cord into the cord clips (PICTURE 4). Holder
will keep cord away from the work area.

8. The Depth Stop is used when you wish to drill holes
to a measured depth. A scale on the press housing
is provided for your convenience. Set the depth stop
adjustment to the desired depth and tighten depth stop
lock knob (PICTURE 4).
9. The Angle Lock Levers are used to secure the tool
either vertically or at a 90° angle. Tool may be used at
a 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75° or 90° angle.
Loosen the large and small levers and rotate the tool,
then securely tighten both angle lock levers
(PICTURE 3 and 4).
10. The Height Adjustment Lever is used to secure the
press on the tube at the proper height.
Loosen the lever and move the press/tool assembly to
the desired position, then tighten the height adjustment
lever (PICTURE 4).
11. Mark the hole locations on the workpiece and center
punch at these locations. Center punching will prevent
walking of the drill point and ensure proper hole
location.
12. Secure the workpiece to the base before drilling. This
will keep the workpiece from climbing the drill bit or
spinning. The benefit is safety and better quality work.
Hold downs clamps (not included) are very good for
holding workpiece, or use a small utility vise for holding
when drilling (PICTURE 8).
13. Loosen the Height Adjustment Lock Knob 1/2 turn and
move the press on the tube until drill bit tip is near the
workpiece (PICTURE 6). A maximum of 6 mm between
drill bit tip and workpiece is recommended. Retighten
lock knob.
14. Grasp the Press Handle and pull down to drill hole
(max. stroke 50mm).
HELPFUL HINTS
When drilling round pieces, use a "V" block or vise. To drill
a hole in the center of a round piece, a center punch mark
is necessary (PICTURE 9). Use center punch to make
center punch mark (not included).
Avoid force feeding to such an extent that the motor
speed is noticeably reduced. Also, feed carefully when
approaching point of breakthrough. This will avoid making
ragged breakthrough edges.
