Sparkey Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 Don't laugh at my welds I was in a hurry. My problem is my drill press is 4" from the riser to center of the bit. Most of the wood for my patterns that I drill are 12" square. That leaves a good size piece in the middle that it won't reach. I can't find anything at a reasonable price that will do the job. I thought I would make this adapter. I can chuck it in the drill press and put a dremel on the end. That will let me drill 6.5 to 7 inches from the riser. I am only using #57 bits and will only use the drill press to control the up and down. What do you all think. Quote
