Well done! I was looking around for a way to accurately center drill both ends of a 1/2" piece of round bar with 2 different size holes- to couple 2 shafts of different diameters- this is perfect and no doubt it will make my project even more fun to do-thanks for sharing your creativity!

Dude you just saved me so much time. Thank you a lot, I needed a video like this to make washers and stuff without a working lathe!

Dude!!! you have just made my life infinitely easier!!! Thank you.(I was able to buy a drill chuck and shaft from amazon for about $15 now I have a self centering chuck to hold things for my drill press. I was eyeballing )

Nice project. For most people this is an absolutely free jig, using junk around the shop! PERFECT!!

This press has worked like a charm for my projects kzread.infoUgkxajoEbapTfqWaadnqb04h6U576yxXp-FE . I didn't even secure it to my table top, mainly due to the fact that I was using a 15 lbs drill vise. It's not flimsy at all as to what others have claimed it to be. Make sure the locking nuts and levers are secured and there won't be any issues with light pressure and patience. I was able to drill through aluminum, plastic, and steel (steel took a while) with no problems at all. Yeah it took a little longer than a regular drill press, but I don't have the space OR the money for one.The instruction manual was worthless, but luckily assembling the press was intuitive. However, the manual would be good for ordering replacement parts if needed. There is a nice breakdown of the parts that are included in the kit. Before ordering, make sure it is compatible with your unit, it is clearly stated what models the press is compatible with.This was an excellent purchase for $40!!

I used to build custom cars and HAD access to a Bridgeport and metal lathe, not any more. You have come up with an ingenues way of using a simple drill press and making a metal lathe. With the combination of other KZread videos on how to change out the drill chuck with chuck for a Milling Machine using a two axis dovetailed vise. I assumed to leveled everything since everything runs so true. Obviously I can tell you didn't miss that detail and I picked up on that fact, since it is obvious. One of my bobs was fabricating things, so I can 100% appreciate your idea. Well done.

Nice jig! A machinist's vice works pretty well too. Put your workpiece into the drill press chuck, line up your vise. lower the drill press and clamp it in the vise. Unchuck the workpiece, chuck up the drill bit, and you'll hit dead center. It's a little fussy, but dead accurate if you're patient.

Great idea that not only have I not seen on you tube yet but also that I needed. Plenty of extra chucks to do this. Thank you.

Hell yeah. I just retired an old drill, and I knew I wanted the chuck, so I know right where it's at.

Pretty clever, I can see several applications for this, thanks for the video.

This is a very nice idea! Love it. Thank you for showing us.

Simple but really great tool that anyone can make with their old chucks! Thanks for the show.

This is a very clever idea! It solves a difficult problem and works great! Good Job!

Very nice..now i know there is a useful purpose for the chucks i salvaged from old drills :-)

For two years I've had a doohickey my grandfather had in his toolkit. Thought it was some broken drill he kept around. Wow. I guess not. Lol. Great video.

The KISS principle. Having just found this and wishing I'd done so years earlier,thank you,thank you. This will save me a few dollars. Keep it simple and stupid. Love ❤️ it. ☑️

Great trick!! Incredible results too! Kudos and thanks for sharing.

Thank you Great idea. I'm going to make one tomorrow.

Nicely done! It's just what I was looking for!

I have been doing something similar over the years but a bit more refined. I purchased a Chinese 4" 3jaw lathe chuck on sale for about $50 new and mounter it on a squared and ground steel plate with 4 holes for mounting to a table or clamping in a vise. It worked so well I did the same with a 5" and 6" 3 jaw chuck.

Superfantastico !! Excellent jig, thanks for posting.

That's a versatile jig. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks.

Priceless, thank you.

Useful, quick and easy jig. I used carriage bolts pointing down and glued into the hold down holes with wing nuts on the bottom, less obtrusive on the working surface.

Bert nice idea, made one - it works perfect! Thanks!

Cool! Like drilling on a lathe. Just an FYI for anyone, if the drill is not spinning then the chips do not flow down the flutes as easily and can jam up if deep in a workpiece.

Excellent video and process. Thanks for sharing

Totally awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Neat idea. Yeh, I can see some use for doing that. Cheers.

Great ideas here. Thanks for posting

For weeks, I've been attempting to drill a centered hole through a M5 x 15MM stainless steel set screw. After many attempts, with tedious preparation beforehand, I've come somewhat close to drilling a reasonably centered hole on an inconsistent basis. Frustratingly, the resulting hole isn't precise enough for the part's intended application. However, I feel I can fabricate this critical part by using this method. Thank you so much for sharing.

That was badass, very crafty.

NAILED IT!!!

well I have watched almost all of your videos and they were very good ...

Great idea! Thanks for sharing.

nicely done!

What a great and creative idea my friend!

Wow just got to make one of these great job !

very good :) saved me a lot of trouble, thanks !!!!

Another very handy tool. You are a great tinkerer.

thanks for sharing, is very difficult make a hole truly perpendicular to a plane without a Jig like this. Very clever and cheap. The allignement of the axis of workpiece and the drilling tool is another subjet

thanks so much for sharing that!

One of those obvious things to do, AFTER you see it done! Great idea. Now I shall have to find that old drill. . . . .

@@coniow EVERY time I throw out some junk (without fail), I will need it within a couple of weeks. Last week, I chucked some old bearing races (just clutter) then a week later needed to press in an oil seal. I spent ages cutting and filing some exhaust pipe to do the job.

Excellent job my friend!

Brilliant idea. Thanks

Now that is a useful idea and simple too.

I to will put my hand up and say " where did I put that old drill? " Mate, great idea keep up the awesome work.

thanks for that,very clever

Luv it. I have had a 3/4 chuck in a drawer for decades now I know why I saved it. Thankyou. Probably save it though Haha and use a smaller chuck

Well done, I'm impressed :-)

Thank you for sharing.

I Have been racking my brain trying to figure how to do this? Now don't I feel a fool! after seeing this, so dam easy when you see it done...... Many thanks

Awesome idea I have to replace my cheap drill as the hammer function neither fully engaged nor disengages so that will be my donor chuck

Great, nice and neat idea!

YOU ARE THE BEST

Perfect solution. Thanks

Excellent idea!

Excellent. Great idea.

Nice reclameing of old parts very useful I have similar taper chuck on my lathe you have turned your press into vertical lathe

awesome technique

Excellent Thanks Tim

very good Idea Will give it a try.

Wow! Great idea!

Now I know what to do with all the old broken drills I've been keeping.

Thank you for this excellent video ... I need a spare chuck now 😬

FANTASTIC

really cool project

excellent work

5 STARS. Subscribed!!!. Oh wait, I was already subscribed.

Excellent, simple and very very useful. It's not relevant but I would always out my bolts facing down so that if they ever unscrewed themselves then the but will fall but the bolts will stay in place, at least for a while longer. I would also thinking about it, recess the heads of the bolts so as not to cause accidents by inadvertently catching either the material or one's clothing. Again, brilliant vid, so much so I'm in your club😂

Isso sim é uma boa invenção, meus parabéns rapaz.

Perfect conglatulations

Great Idea sir, I shall make one..... blessings, pierre from New Mexico

You turned your drill press into a simple vertical lathe ... A nice an simple way for homeowners to get more use out of their current tools.
