I've used a Dremel and the Dremel drill press for well over 40 years for fine work like drilling PCB's. It's probably been at least 15 years since the last time I did my own PCB. When I can get 10 double sided PCB's for $5 complete with solder mask and silkscreen, homebrew PCB's are now cost prohibitive! Personally, I was never a big Albrecht chuck fan. I have a hard time getting the chuck to hold drills tight enough, and I never liked the jaws spinning 'round as I tightened it. I'm a big Jacobs fan, especially their Super Chucks. For smaller drills or lighter work I don't have to use a key with a Super Chuck, use it like an Albrecht and it works almost as well.
I usually just use a pin vise for drilling the tiny PCB holes I need drilled. I’m just doing a few 10s of holes, otherwise a press would be a necessity.
Thanks. Never knew it existed. Would have saved some of my small bits. But at a cost as you mention. Seems more expensive than it aught to be as you also mentioned :).
Nice tool! I have used my Dremel with a Dremel press for decades to drill small wire numbered drills in that range. Have a set of them just like you showed.
Nice tool! I have used small pin vices before to drill tiny holes but it is not ideal because it is just hand held and it's hard to both rotate the drill and press down all by hand.
Neat pro tool. These days one could just buy Drill Stand BG-6127, put DC motor 750 type sold with ER11 collet already on and use all the 1/8" shank carbide bits. Used it down to 0.3mm drills.
Please excuse my ignorance of non-metric systems, but letters and index numbers for drill sizes? Honestly? I mean I found the translation table, but wouldn't it make much more sense even in the imperial fractional system to just use the real diameter of the drill bit instead of an (arbitrary) gauge index? But that's a really nice tool!
See kids - using stupid measuring system leads to drill bits that are specified in letters! Jokes aside - thats a cool little implement, I just dont get the pricing - there is nothing special about it, on the other hand for 500$ you can get a miniature drill press with collets and good feel.
I think you may be looking in the wrong place. A micro drill Adaptor which is the same as what you have except without the chuck costs less than 10 pounds new It has a 1/2 inch shank and a JT0 drill taper for a suitable chuck. (costfor a chuck just over six pounds) here in the UK No point in giving URL's as Utube will just delete the comment. If you want the info give me a email and I'll pass it over to you. Andy
If you're using it on a drill press, the cheapies are probably fine. You're not likely to see any advantage to the Albrecht holding the sensitive feed adapter held in a chuck on a drill press. The expensive Albrecht chucks are better when runout is a critical concern, holding it in a collet in a milling machine.

To quote a line from the movie Waterworld, "Never seen that before" . . . Excellent
Very nice tool, had no idea something like that existed.
A thing of beauty, a joy for ever.

Very interesting tool there. Thanks for sharing.
Well, who knew !.....cheers.
Love this to bits :)
I got the same set. Love it

Thanks for another great video
I have wanted one of those for a while but can't justify the price. Now that I have seen one in use and know how it works I can build one.

I like tool time. Thanks, I was not aware of this, although I was aware of the problem feeding small bits.

Been using that for decades. Removed the spring for a finer touch, unfortunately that let's the chuck drop, so extra care is needed.
i like the good knowledge that you are spreading keep it up 💐
That would be great as I'm always braking little carbide bits.
What rpm is required?
Now show us how you resharpen those tiny drills with your shaky hand.
That is very nice! I want one - for $60.

Here in Merica, we use fractional, letter, AND number drill sizes. What's so confusing about that?🤪
@@SuperShecky: In the U.K. too; they typically relate to specific tapping or clearance sizes for threads.

Just look up "micro drill Adaptor"... Beware of typical Chinesium "copies"; some worse than others.
