Hi, am new to site and Dremel as well. I am curious as to the potential uses for the tools. I was in Home Depot and purchased the 628 Precision Drill Set for the purpose of drilling holes in metal cards to act as clothing hangtags. I have not purchased a drill yet though, what Dremel do the members of this board recommend? How would I secure the metal in place so that I can drill precisely? Do I need any special attachments?
Thank you,
Cat

About any of the Dremel tools will drill the holes but I am not sure the bits will hold up in metal as they are mostly for wood. You would do better to buy one HS steel bit not over 1/4 size. You can call customer service and talk with them about it.

Is 1/8" the only size available for metal drilling? Are the 628 bits I purchased only able to be used for wood drilling?
Thank you for the quick reply Don. I appreciate it.

The drill bits to use is 1/32-1/8 you have to use the right collet Nut as far as them drilling metal I am not sure I used one on a piece of steel and it burnt it up but I have used one on aluminium and it done ok
