I would if I knew how to do it... I've got a pair of dead Laserjet IIIs lying
around (full of mechanical bits) and the guts of an old scanner, not to
mention the old drill stand (=crap) and the various offcuts of FR4, wood and
aluminium sheet.

The problem is working out how to put it together to make a drill press
that'll take the Dremel...

Later.
