I've got one of those too, works great. Fits a Mastercraft brand rotary tool as well if any other Canadians are wondering.

You mean this? It's the model I have...RnFR wrote:but for enclosures, i use the real thing
I do have the Dremel stand too, nice for PCBs, but it loses precision in hole placing when bits are larger (it does flex a bit, ha ha, nice one! )...

I wish I had the room for the real deal. Ill have to settle for the little guy. Or, is it not worth it and should I stay with hand drilling with my cordless?RnFR wrote:i've got one as well. great for drilling pcb's, but for enclosures, i use the real thing.

I'm glad I posted this thread, otherwise I probably would have dumped money into the Dremel press. Thanks to everyone's great feedback Ill save some coin!ibodog2 wrote:I think it really depends on the quantity of pedals you plan on doing and whether you've got some other use for it (and space to store it). I've got that dremel one you posted and I have a hard time keeping the chuck tight on the bit when drilling an enclosure with it. So I went back to the hand drill.pedalcrazy wrote:I wish I had the room for the real deal. Ill have to settle for the little guy.

- my favorite amplifier: Low wattage SE amps
- Completed builds: Many many many true bypass and voicing mods on wahs.
A few BYOC kits and DS-1 mods and eventual murder then rebirth into an actually useful pedal, Bad Stone clone, various Rangemasters/SilconMasterBlaster, The worlds greatest gutted GCB-95 volume pedal conversion with various switching options for controlling amps. Repaired many tube amps, scratchbuilt Marshall 18 watt clone and Supro 1616t rebuild. Delays, fuzz, dirt, every Madbean project I could afford. I even manage to find time to make babies with my wife too! - Location: Fresno, Ca

I got this one on sale from grizzly.com for $89 last year when I was outfitting my new shop. You just can't beat the precision you get even from a cheaper drill press like this. I build amps and effects and I use it regularly. I have even done some custom pickgaurds and pickup rings with it set for high speed using plastic routing bits. Great for staking turrets too! The depth gauge was a joke though. It has paid for itself already.

I was just looking at one of these on line. I'm stoked to hear it works good. They look pretty compact as far as drill press go.timbo_93631 wrote:I got this one on sale from grizzly.com for $89 last year when I was outfitting my new shop.
