Bench drill mount.
First post:
An Aldi item that I've had my eye on for a bit took a liking to me today and I found it in the back of my car when I got home.
I really dislike bench drills due to the mess they leave behind, the space they take up also doesn't endear themselves either, so, I measured up the drill and made a pole mount for it, complete with two mounts for metric and imperial drill sets.
It sits just to the left of the Pedestal, in front of the shed central pole, the pole dissuading me from placing any machinery in front of it so it takes a space not normally used.
The dill's made of pressed steel components but otherwise seems reasonably good quality. I'll use this one for smallish holes, although it actually has a 16mm chuck???
Happy with today's effort, just got to clean up the mess now.

First post and you ruin my Sunday plans. Instead I started on a post mount for my little Ryobi bench drill. New base from some 180 x 75 parallel flange channel is cut and drilled for the drill post. Will use another smaller piece of PFC for a new table. Mine will have a mount that is removable from the post as I do not have a shed to permanently mount it. Will try to post some pics on progress as I go. Base will also be designed to mount a chuck of some sort so I can drill the ends of bars.
