I kept this Drill Press Stand with the idea that it would help me accurately bore 3/4" holes for bench dogs. Then, when I set out to drill them I realized that the drill only has 2 amps and that my larger drill could not be properly installed in the stand. That meant that I … Continue reading Overflow, Part XII
