Dremem 220 Workstation

Hot on the heels of their well-received Stylus rotary tool announcement, Dremel have just announced a new 220 Workstation mounting kit that can be used as a drill press, tool holder, and flex shaft holder.

Check it out at Dremel or Amazon

I’ve been wanting a drill press mount for camera building and modifying, and for $45, I’m sold. With this puppy’s help, I’ll finally be able to drill a Holga shutter plate out to get it faster than f/8. Bring on the options for low-light shooting and shallower depth of field!

Dremel introduce Stylus cordless rotary tool for precision modding

Nicolai Grossman 2 Comments

Dremel have just come out with a really sweet-looking rotary tool called the Stylus. The Dremel has long been a favorite of makers and modders, but this takes it a step further to a lithium ion rechargeable battery-powered, pencil-grip tool for precision work. This looks perfect for camera hacking!

Their press release says:

"The Stylus is intended to be held like a pencil, but for added comfort and versatility the user can hold it in several different positions: reverse grip (the handle is inverted), the side grip (the handle is pushed to the side) and the stable grip (the handle is rested on a solid surface). With this increased adaptability, the Stylus is more than a tool – it is a literal extension of the hand that is perfect for quick fixes and comfortable, extended use.

"The Dremel Stylus is ideal for intricate projects, including detailed drilling, carving, cleaning, detailed sanding, engraving, cutting and polishing. It is also perfect in a pinch for projects such as fixing furniture spindles, polishing cabinet hardware and slotting a stripped screw making it the perfect solution for your at-home needs. Complete with 25 genuine Dremel accessories, the Dremel Stylus retails for $69.99. It is available at most hardware and home improvement centers nationwide."

Check it out at Amazon or Dremel.
