Improving Drilling Accuracy after Center Punching

[jjr2001]

You are very welcome Douglas, if you don't have a drill press vise yet then you may consider one of them.
Two types are inexpensive and very useful on the DP. One has slots that you can use with the T-Slots and bolts to fasten it to the DP table.
The other one uses slots in it's side for clamping. It can be used in the horizontal or vertical mode.

I have included a picture of the side clamping type below. It is mounted on a mini mill. You can't see the T-slots since the mill has been fitted with table covers in that picture.

Cheers, JR

Just added a second picture showing the slots better. You can see how it could be used in the vertical position on the DP.
