I drilled andtapped 199 1/2-13 holes in this table top and 400 in another table using my floor standing drill press. I started at the edge using a few c-clamps to hold the base down. I tapped some of the holes as I went so I could use them to clamp the drill press base down. I know it's not as nimble as a mag drill but if you have a drill press it's a zero dollar solution.


Yeh, the powered but non-clamping version of the Cole Drill.
