Steve,
I totally agree a good stand is necessary with these tiny drill bits.
I have a dremel brand stand too. and surprisingly mine is darn stable. Perhaps
some are mfd better than others or you got a defective one out of the box?
Fwiw I have a cnc machine so I have a clue about accuracy. and when I first looked at a dremel brand stand I thought what a POS.. but surprisingly it works quite well.
OR I got the only one that works. (Though,probably not the case.. my luck is'nt that good)
2cents.
