    Small angle drill press

    I made a radial adapter that mounts my dovetailed Unimat headstock to a tilting column on a portable wooden base.

    The free end of the ball clamps around a cut off piece of bed rod for my watchmaker lathe, and I’ve been drilling with that but the new adapter is more adjustable and saves having to take the lathe apart.
