Built this drill station for my dremel today, has a 21" throat depth, My small drill press only has a a hair over 4" of throat, so I needed something else for larger projects, also I like working with my dremel better when using tiny drill bits, I had dremel attached with zip ties, but I thought it would be more stable with a "U" bolt, and it isn't goin anywhere now, dremel needs to stay "plumb" so it's drilling straight, just another idea other than the drill press when you run out of throat depth, should handle all my needs.

That should do the job quite nicely. I have a drill press attachment for my dremel and it the piece is too large I can spin it around back wards.
Like this one.

Dan, I've noticed the lack of throat with the Dremel too and sometimes even doing as Mike suggests means I still can't get what I want without taking the thing off the stand.
Maybe I misunderstand your picture, but doesn't it mean that as you push the dremel down that it follows the arc of a circle, with the arms describing the radius?Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Great idea but before you spend a day in the shop making your own the plunge router attachment is $26.34 with free shipping at Amazon.

by millwabI'm not sure where the best place to post this would be, but it made sense to me to start here. I'm starting to plan for my first (ever) scrolling demo at our county fair this year. Besides the saw to show how cutting is done I want to have a display of sorts that people walking by could view. My...
