| Sears Drill Press Stand |
| (1/1) |
| Chuck in E. TN:
What to make from it? I picked up a Sears drill stand type drill press for a couple bucks at a yard sale. What can I make from it? Any ideas? I was thinking of adapting it to a Dremel type tool or maybe a sensitive drill/tapping stand. I already have a medium sized bench top drill press. Chuck |

I have one of those in the scrap heap. Maybe put supermagnets in the base for a poor man's mag drill. |

HI, How about mounting a 4" mini grinder on the stand to use as a cut off saw? John |
| PeterE:
The base and the pillar lend themselves very well to make a tapping and staking tool from. The simplest version is an adapter that fits where the drill was and a short shaft with a small drill chuck and a crank. A more elaborate vesion at least for tapping will be shown in the next issue of Model Engineers Workshop if I noted it correctly. /Peter |
