Well done Wheeltapper!

If I”m not mistaken that”s one of the cheap drill stands from Machine Mart. I bought one to convert to a mini drill stand, and finally gave up on any idea of making something useful out of it.

Even the machine vice that came with it (not the one oin your photo) was so nasty I couldn”t even get rid of it at a boot sale for 10p!

I didn”t think of a tapping stand, where rigidity and 100% accuracy aren”t needed – I”m sure it will be much better than working by hand. I wonder if I still have the bits?

Thanks Neil

It came from Aldi. I got it to hold a minidrill but it wouldn’t fit so I did this instead.

turning the body upside down gave me more clearance.

glad you like it.

cheers
