But after all is said and done, your tool, your money, your choice.

goes without saying but true

if a drill press could not handle some lateral force it would not be useful

think about drilling through wood with knots etc

my table tilts as most do
so again lateral forces

anyone that thinks a small spindle sand attachment is going to ruin a
drill press has incorrect thinking

they are not applying common sense
but common sense seems to be uncommon for many


A friend of mine had a wobbly chuck and not due to the internals, but
the fit of the chuck onto the spindle. If yours is pressure fitted and
without a locking set screw from the inside of the chuck to the middle
of the shaft then it will happen to your as well.

Just because something appears do-able doesn't mean its a smart move
to try it.
