Bench Drill

A while ago - probably a couple of years - I bought one of the Performance Power bench drills that were on special at B&Q. It's only this week that, with a job to do that needs a modest amount of precision, I've finally erected and sited it. It will be fine for what I want (the current project will justify the cost on its own) and I'll get by for immediate purposes with general purpose clamps to position and hold the itemas I'll be working on, but I've realised that the tool will be all the better for a jig arrangement of some kind to fit on the worktable to facilitate workpiece positioning. A cursory spin through Toolstation and Screwfix reveals nothing that will fill the bill. What should I be looking for, and where should I be looking? I want one or more jigs that will provide a reasonable capability, without being specialised. Any/all suggestions will be most welcome. :-)

Worth checking around as they come in many different styles. Lidl ages ago had a nice one with quick release jaws and a far wider opening than most - useful for some of the 'project' box drilling I do. They also can have different fixing centres - I use coach bolts and wing nuts so I can remove it easily when needed.

Fairy snuff, Dave, but I just want to create a generalised capability. A drill press vice of the type that Dave indicated will serve the purpose.

Was that the sound of a penny dropping ?
