Anyone know why a 1/4 masonry drill has a warning "don't use on a drill press"
? This came from a local hardware store.

Its mandated there by the same people who put "don't touch moving
blade" on chainsaws. And its a vain and futile attempt to protect the
really dumb from themselves - it usually doesn't work (ie, they don't/
cant/wont/ read the instructions) and the lucky ones get nominated for
Darwin Awards.

Just my opinion, of course. Sorta makes sense.
