Drill Press Question: drilling into tall pieces.

BrianSiano · 2010-12-12T19:16:08+00:00

There's a project I have in mind that requires some precise andregular drilling, so it may be time to buy a drill press. I'd preferto get a small benchtop model, but I have a problem.The project requires drilling pilot holes into the ends of boards thatare roughly 30" long. You can see that this can be a problem even witha floor drill press.Is there a way to get around this problem? Perhaps a benchtop drillpress whose top can swivel away from the base?

Well maybe not "patiently" anyway. LOL.
