[QUOTE="Greenhornet_au, post: 482517, member: 8767"] I dont think that the drill press would be rigid enough in its mechanics to do your job. I guess you are trying to reduce weight, but you also loose strength. As said it could be cheap enough to test if you had one donated or bought at a garage sale, and tried it. Heavier but what about one of those $100 junior hobby drill presses from Bunnings or Ebay ? Everything more sturdy and you get a variable speed belt drive motor too. Do you have some sketches that we could see ? [/QUOTE]
