Nice jig! A machinist's vice works pretty well too. Put your workpiece into the drill press chuck, line up your vise. lower the drill press and clamp it in the vise. Unchuck the workpiece, chuck up the drill bit, and you'll hit dead center. It's a little fussy, but dead accurate if you're patient.
I used to build custom cars and HAD access to a Bridgeport and metal lathe, not any more. You have come up with an ingenues way of using a simple drill press and making a metal lathe. With the combination of other CZcams videos on how to change out the drill chuck with chuck for a Milling Machine using a two axis dovetailed vise. I assumed to leveled everything since everything runs so true. Obviously I can tell you didn't miss that detail and I picked up on that fact, since it is obvious. One of my bobs was fabricating things, so I can 100% appreciate your idea. Well done.
Well done! I was looking around for a way to accurately center drill both ends of a 1/2" piece of round bar with 2 different size holes- to couple 2 shafts of different diameters- this is perfect and no doubt it will make my project even more fun to do-thanks for sharing your creativity!

Dude you just saved me so much time. Thank you a lot, I needed a video like this to make washers and stuff without a working lathe!
Dude!!! you have just made my life infinitely easier!!! Thank you.(I was able to buy a drill chuck and shaft from amazon for about $15 now I have a self centering chuck to hold things for my drill press. I was eyeballing )
Nice project. For most people this is an absolutely free jig, using junk around the shop! PERFECT!!
Great idea that not only have I not seen on you tube yet but also that I needed. Plenty of extra chucks to do this. Thank you.
Cool! Like drilling on a lathe. Just an FYI for anyone, if the drill is not spinning then the chips do not flow down the flutes as easily and can jam up if deep in a workpiece.
Hell yeah. I just retired an old drill, and I knew I wanted the chuck, so I know right where it's at.
For two years I've had a doohickey my grandfather had in his toolkit. Thought it was some broken drill he kept around. Wow. I guess not. Lol. Great video.
Simple but really great tool that anyone can make with their old chucks! Thanks for the show.
Useful, quick and easy jig. I used carriage bolts pointing down and glued into the hold down holes with wing nuts on the bottom, less obtrusive on the working surface.
Yeah, that was my thought as well
I have been doing something similar over the years but a bit more refined. I purchased a Chinese 4" 3jaw lathe chuck on sale for about $50 new and mounter it on a squared and ground steel plate with 4 holes for mounting to a table or clamping in a vise. It worked so well I did the same with a 5" and 6" 3 jaw chuck.
For weeks, I've been attempting to drill a centered hole through a M5 x 15MM stainless steel set screw. After many attempts, with tedious preparation beforehand, I've come somewhat close to drilling a reasonably centered hole on an inconsistent basis. Frustratingly, the resulting hole isn't precise enough for the part's intended application. However, I feel I can fabricate this critical part by using this method. Thank you so much for sharing.
Very clever, but . . . You invented the lathe !
( same system, the tool is fixed, only the working piece is spinning ! )
I went on a similar idea many years ago, and got a deep hole in a piece of brass tube, 6 mm. external diameter, 4 mm. bored internal ( if i remember ), the lenght was more than 100 mm. My drill press chuck was already bored, so i could get such a long "tube". After that, i bended it using some pieces of iron wire inside, which then i pulled out one by one with a plier. Then i screwed outside the ends of this tube, and used it in my oxygen torch !
I think that now or later, you are going to get a lathe for your works.
I got one some years ago, and after that i went with works i'd never thinked of !
In the meanwhile, try to protect your fixed chuck from falling chips using a piece of plastic sheet , placed over the fixed chuck, with just a little hole for the drilling bit, ok ? Cheers, Alessandro from Italy.
Very nice..now i know there is a useful purpose for the chucks i salvaged from old drills :-)
Pretty clever, I can see several applications for this, thanks for the video.
One of those obvious things to do, AFTER you see it done! Great idea. Now I shall have to find that old drill. . . . .
Con Cahill garage sales?
+pear7777, Get thee behind me Satan! :-). I already have WAY to much stuff that other folks would throw out. Not because it 'might' come in handy, but because it DOES get me out of trouble. Especially on Sundays when the shops are shut! I have to do some more 'Up-cycling' to make space already!
Con Cahill
Good
@@coniow EVERY time I throw out some junk (without fail), I will need it within a couple of weeks.
Last week, I chucked some old bearing races (just clutter) then a week later needed to press in an oil seal. I spent ages cutting and filing some exhaust pipe to do the job.
This is a very clever idea!
It solves a difficult problem and works great!
Good Job!
I had exactly this problem and couldn't figure it out now I know what to do thank you
The KISS principle. Having just found this and wishing I'd done so years earlier,thank you,thank you. This will save me a few dollars. Keep it simple and stupid. Love ❤️ it. ☑️
This is a very nice idea! Love it. Thank you for showing us.
I think I am sold. Now I have to find that old chuck.
Superfantastico !! Excellent jig, thanks for posting.
This is a great help for all of us trying to use their drill as torn, thank you very much, it is a great idea!
+Achilleas Gr Να 'σαι καλά!
That's a versatile jig. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks.
Nicely done! It's just what I was looking for!
Great trick!! Incredible results too! Kudos and thanks for sharing.
You turned your drill press into a simple vertical lathe ...
A nice an simple way for homeowners to get more use out of their current tools.
TechSkills -> thank you
you explain well
which ironically, needed a lathe
Thank you Great idea. I'm going to make one tomorrow.
I Have been racking my brain trying to figure how to do this? Now don't I feel a fool! after seeing this, so dam easy when you see it done...... Many thanks
Totally awesome! Thanks for sharing.
+Dan Updegraff Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!
Priceless, thank you.
Excellent video and process.
Thanks for sharing
Bert nice idea, made one - it works perfect! Thanks!
Fantastic idea. Thanks for posting.
Neat idea. Yeh, I can see some use for doing that. Cheers.
Johnny Q 90 strikes again !!!! Super idea Thanks a million Needed to make a true running coupler to connect my engine to my drive shaft on my scale boat . If you had a tip jar I would put some real coin on it Thanks Again !
Thank for the tip, very useful!
I to will put my hand up and say " where did I put that old drill? "
Mate, great idea keep up the awesome work.
I was thinking how I regret throwing out out my old broken Milwaukee Hole Hawg!
That was badass, very crafty.
Chuck up something, wood or metal and spinning it on some sandpaper, will put little circles on it. Smaller, smaller to a little dot at the center.
Nice work! I've been kicking that can around for almost a year!
U R GENIUS
Great ideas here. Thanks for posting
Thank you, this is just what I need to do.
well I have watched almost all of your videos and they were very good ...
thanks for sharing, is very difficult make a hole truly perpendicular to a plane without a Jig like this. Very clever and cheap. The allignement of the axis of workpiece and the drilling tool is another subjet
Luv it. I have had a 3/4 chuck in a drawer for decades now I know why I saved it. Thankyou. Probably save it though Haha and use a smaller chuck
You can do this with a drill press vise. Chuck the drill bit upside down and lower it in the vise and tighten really good then un-chuck bit then put whatever you putting the hole through in the chuck and lower it down on the bit....
Another very handy tool. You are a great tinkerer.
Great idea! Thanks for sharing.
Excellent job my friend!
Perfect solution. Thanks
very good :) saved me a lot of trouble, thanks !!!!
NAILED IT!!!
Absolutely brilliant idea...!
Jack Maravola
Awesome idea I have to replace my cheap drill as the hammer function neither fully engaged nor disengages so that will be my donor chuck
What a great and creative idea my friend!
Now that is a useful idea and simple too.
Great IDEA, going make one
awesome technique
5 STARS. Subscribed!!!. Oh wait, I was already subscribed.
Excellent job, very good !
I user this about 4 years ago to drill and tap some rifle brass for Hunter Safety Props I used a 1/2" chuck. You do not need to use the shaft of the drill almost all portable drills use a chuck thread of either 3/8-24 or 1/2-20 which are thread sizes that can be purchased in many fastener styles. I use either set screws or allen cap screws Both are stronger than normal screws but still workable for sizing to fixture.
A hint for the reclaimers reversible drills have a keeper screw on the end of the shaft it is Reverse threaded (Left hand) most of the time and it is loctited in. Open the chuck fully and find out what slot shape it is. Make sure your tool fits tightly. clamp the chuck in a vise and then proceed to remove. For the chuck it is best to clamp the tool in a vise and place a very large allen wrench 3/8 or larger and use impact on it to unstick it

Peter -> Excelente
Peter -> thanks
Doh! I tried to get mine to seperate but couldn't make it happen. Will have another fair go. Thanks for the clarity.
thanks, that helped me out a bunch
Brilliant idea. Thanks
Now I know what to do with all the old broken drills I've been keeping.
thanks so much for sharing that!
good job, excellent solution!!! congratulations!!!
nicely done!
If you weld the chuck to a flatbar with at hole same size as the hole in the chuck, you dont need the axle and can then fit much longer pieces through the chuck (and drill-plane) ... oh and btw. the swiching of workpiece and drill was new to me. Thanks :-)
What you have rediscovered, is the principle of gun drilling.
Thank you for this excellent video ...
I need a spare chuck now 😬
Frick'n brilliant.
Thank you for sharing.
thanks for that,very clever
Excellent, simple and very very useful.
It's not relevant but I would always out my bolts facing down so that if they ever unscrewed themselves then the but will fall but the bolts will stay in place, at least for a while longer.
I would also thinking about it, recess the heads of the bolts so as not to cause accidents by inadvertently catching either the material or one's clothing.
Again, brilliant vid, so much so I'm in your club😂
good fucking job dude, i knew when i looked at those lone chucks, they had an important purpose, today i found that purpose
Great idea.Good job!!
Wow just got to make one of these great job !
Nice reclameing of old parts very useful I have similar taper chuck on my lathe you have turned your press into vertical lathe
Excellent
Thanks Tim
Thats a good fixtures for small stuff good job
Excellent idea!
Excellent. Great idea.
A very good solution! In this way the chips automaticly fall out. Also a lot quicker then setting the lathe up for the occasional small part. A tip to get the drill centered in the hole is to turn the drill in the left direction bij hand. This will aligne it 100% before drilling. Good work.
+Rob Gerrits Thank you, and thanks for the tip ;)

Clarification please
very good Idea Will give it a try.
Well done, I'm impressed :-)
YOU ARE THE BEST
Great, nice and neat idea!
excellent work
That is actually very neat. It should be standard equipment with a drill press. A lot of added value for a small price.
Switching sides with that Dremel makes it cut much faster I imagine. Lol
Angle
very nice little rig...
really cool project
Great idea. Thanks for this.
+Dave Robbie No problem ;)
Great Idea sir, I shall make one..... blessings, pierre from New Mexico
This press has worked like a charm for my projects czcams.com/users/postUgkxajoEbapTfqWaadnqb04h6U576yxXp-FE . I didn't even secure it to my table top, mainly due to the fact that I was using a 15 lbs drill vise. It's not flimsy at all as to what others have claimed it to be. Make sure the locking nuts and levers are secured and there won't be any issues with light pressure and patience. I was able to drill through aluminum, plastic, and steel (steel took a while) with no problems at all. Yeah it took a little longer than a regular drill press, but I don't have the space OR the money for one.The instruction manual was worthless, but luckily assembling the press was intuitive. However, the manual would be good for ordering replacement parts if needed. There is a nice breakdown of the parts that are included in the kit. Before ordering, make sure it is compatible with your unit, it is clearly stated what models the press is compatible with.This was an excellent purchase for $40!!
Wow! Great idea!
you know, just looking at the thumbnail, solved a huge problem for me. damn thats so simple and smart. damn.
