[QUOTE="Ttrees, post: 1576439, member: 15676"] Sorry was a bit rushed earlier, if the motor isn't powerful enough, then worth looking into rigging up some sort of handles to manually spin the stock. I can't see why this wouldn't work, provided you have an angle grinder to cut [I]a proper drill bit[/I] and not some pound shop job. Something similar to what I'm talking about which might inspire, might be tapping on a pillar drill, [I]using a centering tool[/I], i.e a metal pencil which sits into a cup on the end of a tap wrench, so the quill provides pressure but the tap wrench can spin. Bit of that thinking will have you looking for a nice pin at the least, should you be able to stick it into something to act as a spinney lever, as I'd reckon it would get tiring by hand grip alone.
