    Turn a Magnetic Drill into a handy portable drill press

    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.
