Light duty mag base that you put your own handdrill in.
 

I know I've seen them around before, but can't find one for the life of
me.. Anyone know where I could find one?

Thanks

Tom

I use a bench drill press clamped to the steel with 2x4s. I removed
the lip that holds the head at the top of the column, cut a clearance
hole in the belt guard and added an extra clamp bolt.

see it breaking..

Portalign was one brand name for a gizmo like you describe.
The usual sources (Sears, Harbor Freight) probably have 'em.
(yep, www.sears.com finds "Craftsman drill guide")

I have the old non-angling one which works pretty well to drill 1/2"
holes in steel plate. I wouldn't want to stress it with a larger
drill. They are fussier to align than a mag-base drill and need to be
clamped down, but they are light enough to position on a vertical
surface with one hand, for instance to drill a wooden door.

It takes quite a powerful magnet to resist the quill handle leverage.

The Cole Drill isn't a mag base drill, but can be clamped with accessories
to drill in many different configurations.
