Project Information
Center jig for drill press
recycled drill chuck.
Here a small recycle project, giving new life to an old drill chuck, from a cordless drill I had trashed some time back.
The jig:
When drilling a hole in the centre of a dowel or other round objects, I always struggle to hit dead centre, so this is a try, to make it more possible.
The jig can also be used to hold a point, so the drill press can be used as primitive lathe, for small turning projects.
(I have a lathe, so I will not use it for that).

Pictures:
1. The center jig on the drill press table.
2. Ready to hit that dead center.
3. Old chuck from a cordless.
4. In the making.
5. Rabbets for easy adjusting.
6. Even the wood was recycle, smiles.
Hope it can be to some inspiration, or at least a dead center hole or two, as well as a little recycle.
Best thoughts,
