It really comes down to the quality that is expected from Dremel products, and these do not disappoint. It have had them for a while, now, using them periodically. To begin with, let’s look at the vise:
Dremel Multi-Vise (2500):
This is a tough and very agile item. The adjustability is incredible and is more than suitable for small jobs. I have made us of it for micro-frabrication and even for soldering. The uses are vast and any model makers will make this a must for their workspace. Due to the core adjusting, you can hold large items and choose an array of different angles to apply your work. It is, in reallity, just a vise. The clamp fits it to the work surface with ease and is solid! It also sports some rubberised grips, so it minimises damage to to the item’s surface. But, it’s a great one for small-fixings and design options. I would highly reccommend it.
Features:
- Highly adjustable
- Fits on most surfaces
- Will hold huge items
- Rubberised grips
Dremel Workstation (220):
This is a setup designed to hold a Dremel Rotary Tool. My cordless 8220 sits in it, and works great. You can find the full-list of compatible tools, on the website’s page, but it will take most of the current ones on offer. Drill presses are useful and offer the mechanical advantage of creating holes at specific angles. I can say that having a larger, benchside pillar drill, this one is better for the smaller jobs that use tiny drill-bits.
A key feature is the place to hold bits on the main shaft. It is on the top of this that you will find a hanging-bracket for the tool, too. I use a dedicated hook for this job, but I am sure this is a useful option for others with limited space. There is no doubt that it is a sweet micro-tool. Dremel are the best at this kind of precision, and this serves its purpose, with grace.
Features:
- Plenty of height to drill tall surfaces
- Rotory-Tool hook on the top
- Bit Storage on the shaft
- Multi-directional options
- Tidy and Twee
Both of these tool offer what you’d expect. I would reccommend them for a small workspace. I can see many that have model setups, using both of these for fabricating and fixing issues on a diorama or an OO/N Gauge rail-environment. If anything, it was hard to get the vise as stocks ran low at the time. Go for it…that is all!
