That was my thought - wreck the handpiece instead of the tool. Then again,
the MultiPro 285 and the 225 flexible driveshaft are about the same price as
far as I can tell.
I still need to sort out a drill stand and it's a toss-up between the Dremel
220 Workstation (which looks a bit crap to me, anyone used one?) and the
Wolfcraft 8407 (aka 3407, 3407000, B3407). Unless anyone happens to know of
another reasonably good sub-£35 drill stand that's easily available in the UK
and pretty well made (i.e. doesn't vibrate like mad when the drill is running
at the full 33kRPM).
Photos of both on <
http://www.tool-shop.co.uk/acatalog/Dremel.html>. I
suspect details of the Dremel 220 will be on <www.dremel.com> somewhere; the
manual for the Wolfcraft stand is on <
http://www.wolfcraft.de/>, under
Manuals -> Attachments -> Drill stands. Not sure about specs, but it claims
to be suitable for a Dremel.
Later.
