Default Drill Press Uses?

Don't router bits fit in a drill press? ;-)


Yes, but drill presses aren't designed for lateral stress. The chuck
tends to fall out. Plus, they don't spin nearly fast enough to get a
good cut.


Mine came with a drum sander and the cuck has an allen
screw holding it in so the chck doesn't drop out.

I have also used a drill press to make circular plywood disks,
and somebody makea 'vertilathe' (TM) attachment for small
spindle turning.
