Inverted Drill Press for Large Job
Oct 25, 2005
Our boatshop had to drill two hundred square holes in a board that proved too wide to fit under our floor-model drill press’s mortising attachment the column prevented us from reaching the center of the board. So we remounted the drill-press head upside down on the column, inverted the whole press and bolted its base to the beams in the ceiling. With the board on a bench beneath the press head, we easily drilled the holes.
