Ugly, but functional.  Baltic birch or MDF would be a much better choice for the materials, or melamine-coated particle board.  I think the pine plywood will warp, and it has a lot of friction too. I do like the feed mechanism.   The guide tracks could use improvemen too, maybe aluminum and skateboard bearings.

   One could upgrade this rig too with a Roto-zip or Dremels larger model for household work similar to the roto-zip. The roto-zip is a sort of mini router used primarily for dry wall work. Generally uses a side cutting drill. It has a 1/8th inch chuck.

Or you could just buy one : DREMEL DRILL PRESS

 

I bought one of those years ago before I got my Sherline Mill. They are OK I suppose, but not all that accurate. I haven't used it for years.
