Precision Mini Drill Press
The Precision Mini Drill Press is designed to handle up to
1/4" (.250") drill bits. It fills a need for a drill
press between my Micro Drill Press and the regular commercial
1/2" to 5/8" bench drill presses. The unit is machined
primarily from aluminum alloy bar stock and drill rod and the
base is machined from a cast iron lifting weight. The drill press
features an adjustable quill depth stop, quill lock, a shop made
electro-magnetic base/table and provisions for a 2" travel
dial drilling depth indicator for high precision drilling depth.
It is powered by a high torque 2-1/2" diameter permanent
magnet field DC ball bearing motor. Speed can be adjusted using
a variable voltage DC power supply, and/or also by choosing one
of three steps on the pulleys.
There are a lot of other ways that you can think of to power yours.
One is to use a universal type AC motor such as on a sewing machine
and a light dimmer to vary the RPM. The quill feed is by standard
rack and pinion gear.
