I purchased the new Dremel 220-01 workstation hoping to be able to use this as a drill-press for PCB (printed circuit board) production. At quick glance, the new 220-01 Workstation looks like it would be a great drill press. The 220-01 has a metal shaft and a nice looking plunging handle assembly. I own a slightly older model 398 (high-end digital tool sold just previous to the new XPR model). The box clearly states that my model 398 is supported by this accessory. Thus, I made the purchase and took it home. Here is a stock photo of the unit:
