sonds much like the HF press is only a "heavy stand" then? if you have to add the bearing shafts etc... i think you could attach a lever for operating it and get rid of the original press? i am sure i am wrong but i only want you to figure this out more detailed ;-) . if anyone wants to see some drill press samples look here: http://www.megauk.com/cgi- bin/mega/lp.pl?page=http://www.megauk.com/pcb_drilling_machines.php i also think that it is not a good idea to use a full size drill press (without that "use youe own spindle on some rail" method). because it is far too slow. i think 10000 to 20000 rpm is minimum... regards st
