We have drill press!

I say again, we have drill press.  I ordered this for my Dremel because I thought it might help me stop drilling holes through my fingers.  It is a little sloppy, as the reviews warned, but I can work on it and finesse it with my teeny-weeny screwdriver for the teeny-weeny screws.  It was inexpensive, and if it works, it’s great; if it doesn’t, then I’ll donate it to Goodwill, add it to my charitable deductions, and get a heavier duty (and more expensive, natch) one down the road.  This thing will also turn 90 degrees to the side, which is how I was using it (in a vise) for a grinder.  I haven’t used it for that in awhile, though, so this’ll be good.  This is my spare, one-speed Dremel, the first one I ever got years ago to do a little wood carving.  I use a variable speed one for my routing.  Eventually, I will bolt it to the bench, but not until I have used it a bit and gotten everything the way I want it.
