A while ago - probably a couple of years - I bought one of the
Performance Power bench drills that were on special at B&Q. It's only
this week that, with a job to do that needs a modest amount of
precision, I've finally erected and sited it. It will be fine for
what I want (the current project will justify the cost on its own)
and I'll get by for immediate purposes with general purpose clamps
to position and hold the itemas I'll be working on, but I've
realised that the tool will be all the better for a jig arrangement
of some kind to fit on the worktable to facilitate workpiece
positioning. A cursory spin through Toolstation and Screwfix reveals
nothing that will fill the bill. What should I be looking for, and
where should I be looking? I want one or more jigs that will provide
a reasonable capability, without being specialised. Any/all
suggestions will be most welcome. :-)


Need to know what you want to achieve.


Fairy snuff, Dave, but I just want to create a generalised capability. A
drill press vice of the type that Dave indicated will serve the purpose.
