Hello, Janos. Personally, I have never heard about such converters\addpters. Obviously, it doesn't mean they don't exist. I am going to search for those...Jim,
Do not forget that there are some transition pieces (with inside/outside threads) available by which Dremel tools can be fixed into Proxxon devices.

Thank you so much for this information. I own a rotary tool by Utool--is there a stand that will accommodate a Utool rotary tool?Hello, Andy. There is no such thing as Dremel-like tools. All tools made by Dremel company we call Dremel tools. In this particular case, the stand takes a Proxxon rotary tool.
In fact, Yuri @Y.T. setup is not a drill press, It is called a drill stand. Proxxon made many different rotary tools, where some of which will fit this drill stand. Drill press, however, comes with motor and drill chuck permanently mount and not interchangeable.
Here is the drill stand. Without a rotary tool, it is useless. If you own one of the Proxxon rotary tools, you can convert this drill stand to a drill press.

Here is the drill press. You can use it out from the box, no rotary tool requires, besides drill bits, perhaps.

Dremel also made a drill stand as well as the rotary tools. While both Proxxon and Dremel tools designed for the same purpose, they are not interchangeable in the drill stands. Here is the Dremel version of the drill stand. It will fit only Dremel rotary tools.

However, there are many diffrent drill stand compatible with dremel rotary tools. Like the one below from Milescraft. This one is Dremmel friendly.

Honestly, I don't know, But looking at your tool I don't see any 'neck' to use with the drill stand, but I could be wrong.Thank you so much for this information. I own a rotary tool by Utool--is there a stand that will accommodate a Utool rotary tool?

Further dremel questions from a "Tool=-Ignoramus": I notice in dremel descriptions that they will say things like "4000-4/34" or "4000-6/50-FF".
What do these things reffer to? I'm looking to get a good quality Dremel tool for shipmodeling along with a dremel tool stand and some accessories. Thank you so much. Andy.
I am sorry, Bill, but I have to disagree with you. Dremel tools are compatible products. They are made for all kinds of consumers and suitable for various tasks including drilling. Their price is Ok for most of us to buy.The Dremel dill and their press IS NOT the answer. The answer is more complicated than that. Sherline is the best answer. However, most people do not want to spend the money. Buy a used unit. I did. Enough of this!
I agree. I've used a Dremel in one form or another since 1974. I have 3. If I were interested in a mill or lathe, I'd go with an R8 and not a Sherline. I have plenty of experience on Bridgeports, Hardinge and DoAlls. Cannot justify the expense for my home shop.I am sorry, Bill, but I have to disagree with you. Dremel tools are compatible products.

Sherline made a very good line of tools, there is no question, but their tools are mills and lathes, those machines designed for a specific job like turning and milling. Also, can you compare the price of the Sherline product to a Dremel? Not even close. How many of us can afford Sherline, and actually need it for our hobby?
