Here is a simple way top turn a old hand drill into a drill press. This is a pretty simple project that can be very useful in a shop that is just getting started.. And can be adapted for other uses in the shop.

Nice! I used a stand that I purchased for my drill motor for years before I got a drill press. It had some set up problems that yours doesn’t.

I like the way that you are continuing to prove that it’s not what you’ve got but what you can make with it that counts.

Loved this project. Built it and use it all the time. The only thing I did was to wax the slide with bees wax and it slides smooth
