Reply:Well I found out what it can't do...lolI had this Idea I could make a mini mill out of it.Thanks to some very knowledgeable people here who said it wouldn't work (I tried anyway)The quill just can't take the side load.But the base does work good for just drilling although its nowhere near as nice as yours

I like the Vise Grip 11r because you can move them all over and fast.Is your channel cup down or cup up in the middle and I would add some pins to trap the mag drill. I can see where you on to the same idea. And you can drill many things.Thank you for showing your pictures                     VernonLast edited by 1969 Vernon; 08-25-2010 at 10:57 AM.
