Status: offline 		 I have been looking around for a bench top stand that uses an electric hand drill and turns it into a drill press.  Several years ago, they were everywhere, now they seem to be extinct.  Does anyone know of anyone who sells them?   Any help is greatly appreciated.

The only issue I have is on the high speed setting you have to help it start, but once it gets going it does'nt bog down.

Agreed, also if it is not designed for your particular drill, forget about it. keep an eye on craiglist.

Status: offline 		There are drill press stands for holding Dremel tools also.  This may be for smaller scale than you are looking for, but it looks like a nice addition for a modellers workshop.
