Re: 1 hour drill press

2005-12-12 by soffee83

Another thought-

If anyone could think of some type of readily available metal 
standoffs which could slide up and down a greased chrome pipe,etc., 
that would be simple as crap. I've got drum hardware here which might 
be able to hold the main tube down (like bass drum tomtom mounts), but 
you could probably do a two piece wooden clamp around the tube and 
screw it down to the work surface. The top could also be strengthened 
by a wood rig. I've seen guys use a homemade pulley system on a radial 
saw, with counter weights hanging from the far end to return the saw 
to the back.

PS- I know the Dremel presses are cheap as dirt. ;)
