I just ordered from the US the Dremel to Proxxon mount from these guys in Austrailia.
http://www.hobbytools.com.au/mount-for-proxxon-drill-press-to-dremel-ryobi-ozito/I also found the place that would not ship to the US.
They take Paypal. Marked as shipped with a tracking number. I ordered one other item and the postage is under $20. Not unreasonable. Not the first time I've gotten stuff from Australia. I should have bought more.
I don't have the Proxxon drill press yet. I was trying to get an idea of the Proxxon overall dimension of the holder to see if it could be reamed to, I think, 1 inch. A Dremel attachment (router) will provide that adapter Dremel female thread to 1" round. I think the dimension is an inch.
