Today I published the Alpha version of my drill-powered 3d printable die filer.

I've never used a proper die filer, so I don't know what I don't know about them. I'd welcome any feedback, positive or negative.
Thanks!

I'll be updating this tonight with a tilt-table version.
Using a drill to power it has turned out to be super janky, and I don't love it. I want to either make it belt driven or get a proper motor for it. On the other hand, I was able to cut my keyway without having to buy a broach set. That's a win.
