Foultide Posted April 17, 2017 #1 Posted April 17, 2017 I found this on line at a hobby supply outlet. Fits into the drill press chuck making for quick changes and accurate holes. bhermann, Mahuna, DocBlake and 9 others 12 Quote 6 Ships in the Gallery.

Bob Cleek Posted April 20, 2017 #6 Posted April 20, 2017 There's no such thing as too many tools and those pictured above are very nice, but before those were available, I just used a plain "cheapo" pin vise (the ones without the rotating knobs on the ends, etc.) into which I chucked the bit and then just chucked the whole pin vise in my drill press chuck. It worked like a charm. Unless precision drilling is required, as with very small holes to be threaded or where depth and perpendicularity is critical, I usually do all small diameter drilling by hand. I save a lot on drill bits that way! I also made up a ring clamp holder for my Foredom hand-pieces which mounts on the tool-post of my 12" Craftsman/Atlas lathe. The hand-pieces will accommodate fine size drill bits in collets or small chucks. The Foredom foot pedal can keep speeds down for delicate work (avoiding broken bits) and with the hand-piece in the cross-slide on the lathe, you can drill fine work very precisely and even use it as a tool-post grinder. mtaylor 1 Quote
