I recently bought a new Dremel press and the picture on the box shows the usual hole in the centre of the base where the drill bit goes through the base when drilling, only when I opened it, it didn't have the hole!
I'm not really sure why...

A Dremel press works, though you really need to make sure your rotary
tool has good bearings up front. Any wobbling or vibration will
eventually snap a drill. So, you're not going to want the rotary tool
from Harbor Freight. Of course you can be like me, and build a little
CNC drill, but after putting in the required materials, funds, and
time a $150 tool seems like a great deal.
