Evening all,
I own a bench top pillar drill but would love to own a floor-standing press. Just wondering if anyone has tried to put a longer length of pipe in the pillar of their drill to increase the throat capacity?
I'm thinking that if I buy about 1200mm of steel tube at the same diameter I should be ok and it won't flex... or am I fooling myself?
Thanks for any advice or experiences.
