Depending on the needed accuracy of your hole you could probably just use the type of drill press without the rack and pinion (although the rack would make it alot easier). I've line holes up after moving the pusher type before. just depends on the kind of accuracy you want. |
Yes, most drill presses don't have teh spindle stroke for deep holes and the question with these rack an pinion types is how much horizontal slop there is in the rack and pinion gear.....
