How to Make Mini Drill Press

Hello, Today I show You how i made simple mini drill press, to see it in action look at attached video.

Tools i used:

Drill

Angle grinder

Belt sander

Files

Square

Hacksaw

Pliers

Drill two holes in main board (12 cm distance between holes) and attach guide tubes, the tubes i use have nuts tightly inserted on 1 end so im using machine screw and tightening it with pliers.

Mark where holes will be drilled (1st hole 54mm from bottom and 2nd hole 73mm from bottom)

Drill the holes and then drill bigger holes on opposite side (those holes will allow you to attach the tubes)

Mark two same spots at same height on each end of block and connect them.
