I'm about to purchase a workstation 220 (in GB). Looking on ebay and other stockists I've noticed two significantly different looking workstations that are described as 220s. One has a tool carrier that has a steel shaft protruding from the top and a control arm that is mounted at one point at its pivot - rack and pinion? As in link below:

[http://www.dremeleurope.com/dremelocs-uk/Product.jsp;jsessionid=A61EEF0FE8CF569F2248FDCFDA722AF8?&ccat_id=527&prod_id=277]

The seems to have an enclosed top to the tool carrier with the control arm attached at two points, as in link below:

What is the difference between them, is one the latest model, if so which one?

I'd appreciate any advice on which one is the best to buy.

Many thanks in anticipation.

The model 220 workstation is the latest one out. I wasn't able to view your links, but the one with the bit holder above the drill press is the one also it comes with a flex shaft tool holder that extends out the top of the pole. The tool on the drill press can also be rotated from vertical to horizontal. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply, I'm not sure why the links aren't working. However if you copy the links into a web browser you can see the pictures of two significantly different workstations both claiming to be the 220.

Anthony try the link above and see if it will take you to the Dremel Work station 220-1 this is the only one that Dremel sells now. Let me know if this works out if not I can try something else.

PS-I tried pasting the links in the browser and they still said unknown link must be something crossing it up.

The problem with the links in the OP were that there were square brackets around the actual link and then appended to the link for this message board (kinda weird, huh?). Once I edited them they worked OK.

That second photo is clearly an odd one! I have seen dozens of photos of what they call the 220-01 drill press here in the states, but not that one before. I would suggest taking a look at reviews (perhaps Amazon.com) and see if it is really what you are looking for. If you want top precision for drilling bitty holes, it may not be the best bet.
