For lack of better term I used my Dremel as a poor man's mill before I got a Proxxon. The Dremel drill press attachment was not very expansive and I would build various jigs to hold parts for sanding,  drilling, milling. Long set-up but I learned a lot and I wanted to make sure the investment in the Proxxon was worth it.  For example I used my press and home made jigs to drill the holes in all the pin racks and I used a fine sanding disk to square up thick laser cut parts, again using homemade jigs, and a machinists vise. I had to rig a hose clamp to hold the press in position. One very valuable lesson I learned is practice on a piece of scrap first and test your set up before you make lots of expensive scarp wood!
