Mobile drill press?

Mobile drill press?
January 11, 2015 12:26PM
I keep looking for a device to attach to a power drill which makes it operate a bit like a router, i.e. up and down perpendicular to the surface being drilled. I can't find anything, but it could be another case of not knowing what it's called.

Any ideas?

Something like this? You should search for Hand Drill Press Stand

Sort of but more mobile. I actually considered using one of those, because if it's not bolted to a bench it sort of does what I want, but it's a bit difficult to aim.

So imagine you've got a bit of wood say 24inches by 600mm by a thumb thick. You want to make a hole in the very center. You can't use a normal drill press because of the pole, so something like a router would give you a nice 90degree hole, but they can be a bit awkward to make holes with as they like to drift. Sort of see what I'm after?

You could make a drill guide from a block of wood, say 4" square and 1" thick. Put it on your drill press table to get an accurate hole drilled through the block then use this as a guide on your job.
