yes frank thats correct and I do look at it like that. my comment was a simple fix for a visible issue.If I built it it would probably be worse the first time around, thats when you find the little bit of extra work it may need hear or there. I like the thinking behind it all.as you can clearly see the peice of steel that get the 5 holes drilled had pilot diviots so it would not walk. making a positional drill head would take very little to do and just make it easyer to use nomaner what you are doing you should try to get it right.not drill holes in something just to find out that they are right on one side and off by 2x the hole dia the other side....unless your a wonky builder building a Whoville home for Horton's hearing aid service. I think it would be awesome to walk into somebody shop full of this kind of tooling that makes high quality stuff with it all. it's totally doable. I see no difference in this stuff than any of the tooling I make or any body else makes.and cnc has nothing to do with it. when I made the rollover, tilt table for reworking cylinder head seats & valve guides on my mill it came out great.but it needed some extra work, and still does. but it got the job done great. I have everything to "rebuild it" but I may never use it again. I made it very light weight due to my limits after the slicing for DR got dome ****ing me up. it has a little more flex than it shouldhave.very little but I know it's there checking with dial indacator for flex. with that said. it works awesome.just not "heavy duty" like this guys drill press, it gets the job done. If I had the steel to make my jig 10 pounds heavyer I probably would of as its' already to heavy for me...but I still pick it up as always that cant be stopped till Im dead.. I love watching stuff made from disposed stuff.we ( my dad ,brother and me )have always done that. steel junk is almost kinda like a ex wife.good for repurposing by somebody else into a new life , hopefully a useful one.
also i wood ventur to say his drill press is better than those **** on the market ones that you clamp your electrick hand drill to. I have 2 of those hear.well 1 now i think.I wanted to take it appart to use the main stand for somethen. the gears are broke in both the units I had/have. broke spring too.and more.1 small unit and one larger "heavy duty"model both junk. and those didnt hold the drill straight either.
