Portable Drill Press

[NickDanger]

I have family members that are going to Ugunda very soon and they have need for a portable drill press. The kind you use with a hand drill. Anyone know where to find one?

In case anyone is interested, some of the group is going to teach the orphans they go visit how to make trinkets out of Ugandan coins which will then be sold to various U.S. congregations to pay for staples and educational materials, etc.

Nick, here's a couple of different types. I would imagine that you could order the makita from a local outfit. Hope this helps.

Dremel makes a good one. Link

I think the second one is EXACTLY what they need. The first looks WAY too heavy. Thanks for the guidance. I've never seen one for sale. I THINK I've seen one in one of my father's Templeton piles and it is for him, but he can't ever find anything and it was probably purchased at a garage sale and will only fit one specific drill which was only manufactured for 2 months back in 1949.

I brought that very issue up. For some reason it seems you are allowed to squash pennies at the zoo here in the US, but otherwise it's illegal. I was assured that Ugandan coins are worthless eve to Ugandans and that they wouldn't care or even check.

They've been duly warned.

I think Lowe's and Home Depot carry them.

In his typical fashion, and after so much good guidance from here, he went to the most expensive tool shop in town and bought one that is missing numerous parts (that must be tracked down at considerable time and expense) and cost about $3.00 U.S. less than a new one.

Hey. You try.

Thanks for the help.
