Modding Drill press

i need a drill press for a mod that iam making, a home made water block. i just need to drill some holes in it, and i have no access to one. I was browsing the dremel webpage and i came across the plunge routing accesorry for the dremel, i was wondering if i could get that to work in the same way, and would it be a good investment?

 

I own that attachment. It will not work as a drill press. The plunge mechanism is super stiff and inaccurate (doesn't hit exactly where you want). All manageable as a router, no go for a drill press.

Have you looked for drill mounts that work as a drill press with your hand drill?

Also for $100US dollars you can pick-up a decent benchtop model, or cheaper at Harbor Frieght.

 

hmm thats a good idea thnx, i dun wanna be spending more than like $30 tho lol

 

I wouldn't go too cheap on a drill press for making a copper waterblock. Working with copper puts a lot of stress on the tool, especially if you plan on drilling holes big enough to be water passages.

 

ebay it man found some ok looking crill presses for pretty darn cheap

 

well i got a new idea that wont need the drill press after all!! yay, i will post the finished block in like a month when iam actualy finished with it lol.
