Yes I bet that works great and I have several friends that do it, As
it is though, I get tired of going back and forth from drill bit to
pen barell trimmer on that drill press. I don't want to introduce yet
another task to use the drill press for. I like having all the final
assebly done up on the bench. I just need to look for a really heavy
duty toggle that won't flex.


Thanks

I just use the drill press. I put a bolt in the chuck and a piece of
ply on the table. It works a treat.

I currently use a pen press from PSI and it's only "Adequate", The
push toggle flexes up under pressure and theres a little all around
slop in the opposite pressing surface. I like this style of press
and want to make my own.

Just wondered if anyone has built their own and has found a good
heavy duty horizontal toggle that didn't flex and also how flex was
handled on the other end. Any pics you might have would be great
too.

Thanks....Ken




I use a simple pipe clamp that is supported up off the bench by blocks
and held in place by small hand clamp. Works well and can be
disaasembled in just a minute.
