I don't have a place to grab hold of the blade, but your dead man made
me think of a real small drill press and a couple of magnetic bases
like used for dial indicators. I wonder if I could get enough strength
from a couple of those? The drill press would have to be about the
size of a large cordless drill with a base plate about 6" square
maximum that the magnetic bases would be mounted on. Anybody have a
specific product that would complete this idea?



They make an adapter for a standard drill motor that holds it like a drill
press. It's small enough you may be able to clamp it to your work with C
clamps.
