my drill press is tad short for couple of jobs i want to do.
can't afford floor mounted one or the space.
it as got 3" column.
as i have an offcut of 4.5" solid that as been kicking rd for few years plan is boring one end to sit over column with grub screws to hold in place as head is held on now and turn od of top end to fit in head of top.
only need 2" which will give me plenty of extra but can gain 4" doing it this way.
anyone see probs with this?
would just do it but my 10 yr old wants to help with the drilling so want to be extra safe obviously.
