Geof,

Thanks for your help once again. Could you elaborate a little bit more on this tool post or reducing bushing idea? I do have a toll holder that hold collets, I assume for boring bars and such. Could I use this collet holder to hold the drill? Obviously the problem would be getting it perfectly centered with the chuck. Any advice on how to do that? I'm thinking putting a turned down piece of stock in the chuck and adjusting the collet holder until the collet smoothly slides over the piece of stock. Good or Bad idea?
