Yet another "What a GREAT idea" from StewMac

Guys it's 10% off right now! And if you're a member (I am) you get 20% off and free shipping!!

Still seems a lot for something so simple, but then sometimes making things well in small quantities can be expensive.

Geeez......how many times have I wished to be able to hold my Dremel stationary like this?

There is no doubt that Dan Erlerwine is a genius.....but as usual per StewMac....it's pricey.

StewMac Anchor for Dremel - StewMac

It's like having a third hand in the shop--simply thread your rotary tool into The Anchor then clamp it down on your bench or in your vise.

Does yours have the LED Light attachment?
I am a Boilermaker/Welder by Trade.
Just take that with you and find a Bolt thread that matches & buy the nut & Weld it to a piece of Angle Iron or Plate.
I have done it with a 9'' Grinder & 5'' with Bolt & Locking nut that screws into the Grinder where the Handle goes when I want to use a Wire Bush or Buffing pad in my Offset 5'' Swivel Steel Vice that I built over 40 years ago as a 2nd Year Apprentice! ( Now I'm showing my Age)
I should take a Photo and show it if you would like to see?
 
I just bought a Dremel too when i needed to route out the square for the red toggle switch for the electrovibe. That stand would be a great compliment to your Dremel for sure!

I couldn't weld myself out of a hole full of snakes....hahahah. My Dremel is literally about 25 years old. I think I'm due for an upgrade.

Any thoughts on the cordless ones? Do they have enough "juice" for stuff like grinding, routing and cutting?

Your asking the wrong Bloke!!!
I don't own any Tool that relies on a Battery, they are always Flat when you need them the most when I have used one!!!

I agree going that route as well i just dont have a permanent work place to set up tools like that! everything i have that has a cord has literally lasted my dad decades and im using them now with no problems.

Corded it is then, I do a lot of small buffing and polishing tasks with mine for guitar work. I was already guessing the battery pack ones wouldn't cut it. (literally....hahah)

Get the Dremel 4000 series, I had a 3000 series and it shat itself just out of warranty with about 6 hrs on it, Bad ventilation caused it to get warm quickly & stuff the windings inside!
Mine is actually a 4300, stronger motor than 4000 model!
 
I can tell you the most Dangerous cordless tool ever invented, The Hand Held Grinder!
Thieves think they are a Wonderful invention!!!
 
A threaded aluminum bar for $50? That’s nuts. A nice little bench vice is all you need. Or tap your own bar.
