Description
I wanted a drill press for my Dremel, as well as a dedicated press for installing heat-set inserts with my soldering iron. Since there are already many great standalone designs for both, I decided to combine these functions into a single, versatile tool.
This press features a quick-lock system that allows you to easily swap between different tools in seconds. Whether you're drilling or working with heat-set inserts, the transition is fast and hassle-free.
I’ve included design references so you can create your own tool holders. You can adapt the system to fit other tools and expand its functionality. If you do create your own attachments, feel free to share them with others! I will try my best, to keep the description updated and link all available tools.
All design files are available on Onshape and a PDF with reference dimensions for custom tool holders is included to help you get started.
Detailed assembly instructions are available in the Assembly PDF.
Note: Good bed adhesion is critical for this model, as even slight warping can significantly affect tolerances. Make sure your print bed is clean, and use a brim if you experience adhesion issues.
