That’s what I was thinking. Just an idea.
Yes it can! It’s pretty great actually. You can do quite a lot with it. It’s good to hold for when you’re using the flex shaft as well. It definitely helps with precision work
Here’s a link to it on amazon: Dremel 220-01 Rotary Tool Workstation Drill Press Work Station with Wrench https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00068P48O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_bkScCb2QYH3HF
I bought one of these for my old Dremel model 200 and it is the best investment I've made. I'm in a small apartment, so a standing drill press is out of the question.
Practice on a polymer lower. Or get one of these. and use an engraving tip.
It’ll take you awhile but she’ll be clean.
I struggle with it too. I have switched to using a drill press. The dremel one is really cheap.

It's a workstation that can be use as a drill press ( https://www.amazon.com/Dremel-Workstation-Portable-Drilling-Perpendicular/dp/B00068P48O/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=dremel+workstation&qid=1628269732&sprefix=dremel+workstat&sr=8-3 )
And for the problem, the drill is supposed to go back to it's initial position when you don't use it, but some kind of spring was probably broken so I just sent it back to the customer service and they gave me a new one.
In case you're interested of buying one I suggest you to check a YouTube video for the setup bc some step are weirdly explained in the manual ;)
You could get a detachable drill press. Similar concept to your millscraft, but heavier guide rail and a proper lever to lower the drill. Craftsman used to make a decent version that packed up pretty small. If you can find one check for play in the linear bushings.
Update: there is a version offered by dremel

I did look into the drill press stand for the Dremel but a common issue is that it isn't perpendicular to the base. Also, there is the issue of what can I use to hold a 3mm pice if brass steady and center it. It was suggested that I could clamp down a pice of wood to the base, drill into it and then pop the pin into that hole to drill into with a smaller bit but the press being off center would pooh pooh that idea.
Sweet. Just large enough for the job.
Protip: Move the table away from the wall, get a surge protector (or two), and drape your cords off the back. That'll free up a lot of space. Also, the Dremel Rotary Tool Workstation is very handy.
I've had this exact same problem with leather thickness for wallets. Bought a Super Skiver for about $10 but it's still really hard to get a semi-consistent thickness after it's skived down (plus I've sliced through a number of leather pieces and ruined them).
Best way I've found, hands down, is to use a Dremel with a sandpaper bit attached. It's messy as hell but I just keep a shopvac running with the nozzle attached underneath the Dremel. I also bought a Dremel Station and it's indispensable...got mine for just under $40 but you can find cheaper options as well.
Why does this guy have so many tools but no drill press? A tabletop model is pretty cheap off Amazon
I wonder if something like this would work: https://www.amazon.com/Dremel-Workstation-Portable-Drilling-Perpendicular/dp/B00068P48O
Dremel is a company that makes small electric power tools, including a rotary tool with many attachments and accessories for drilling, sanding, polishing, etc. Here's the web page for that tool:

h\Here's the drill press stand (not including the drill tool) on Amazon. Read the reviews, however:
$45 on Amazon, definitely worth it.

If you don't have a workbench you can bolt the workstation down on, I would advise getting some of these clamps (not these exact ones, but this style) to keep the base from moving around. You can put them on the backside and it usually won't interfere with the project.
It reminds me of the small drill press I have for my spare Dremel. Like this
> Are you chasing unicorns?
So that is what it is called! lol!
When you don't know something, you gotta ask the experts! I may have to start looking into an entire replacement tailstock in this case. I have seen other tailstocks with the crank but they have another (possibly removable) live center attached to it. I might be able to make that work.
/u/Silound, I did look into the Dremel drill press as an alternative and the idea of drilling a hole into something to hold the pin in place is a great idea! Several reviews on Amazon have noted that the dremel doesn't sit perpendicular to the base. I don't know if that is due to the placement of the dremel inside of the cradle or manufacture error.
In any case, this was my first attempt at drilling a 1mm hole in the pin freehand and this is how close to center I got. I am a thin hair off to the left side of center. As you can see, the larger hole was easier. If the entire length of the nestling pin would be 1mm as well, that wouldn't be a problem. However, the nestling pin has to have a larger head so that the pin doesn't fall out the bottom and I would have to match the degree of offset for it to fit correctly. I might need to catch one of those unicorns and rub some of it's blood on the dremel to make that one work, lol!
Thank both of you for your delicious knowledge! I appreciate it.
Know this is older but you can buy a drill press stand for a dremel for $45 bucks. https://www.amazon.com/Dremel-220-01-Rotary-Workstation-Station/dp/B00068P48O/
I just picked this up.
A dremel tool and a dremel press. Was messy!
It did work well for a mini setup.
The Dremel Workstation I think this is the Dremel model I have
Yeah it's this one: https://www.amazon.com/Dremel-220-01-Rotary-Tool-Station/dp/B00068P48O. It's pretty cool and convenient
dremel has a drill press work station I've been considering picking it up.
You could always get her a Dremel work station like this one. Then a pair of soft jaw pliers. Why soft jaw pliers? Well it gets her hand away from the cutting/drilling edge, important if she is working with small stones. And the soft jaw wont mar the stones. In addition to that gripping small things when you have arthritis can aggravate the condition, with the pliers it will take longer for her hands to become fatigued.
Drilling made easy: http://www.amazon.com/Dremel-220-01-Rotary-Tool-Station/dp/B00068P48O - You also need something to hold the dice, like a vice or some putty.
Dice the dice in the vice, vice guy. <- I am a poet.
