Turn a Magnetic Drill into a handy portable drill press

[Vernon]

I know many of you wouldn't buy a magnetic drill because you see no need for one. With that being said watch this. That's me doing the video. I build this many years ago. Click on to the video below

Here are some picture's to go along with video. And My draft drawing.

Thanks for the video, Vernon. Now I see these mag drills in a different light.

I found it very useful in the shop. I think it's a easy project many could build.

Great idea. DPs are a staple tool of the typical shop. The base looks rock solid. Thanks for sharing Vernon.
