I use that one too, and like it. And if you use twist bits, you can
enlarge a smaller diameter hole with a bigger bit, and it'll still be
perpendicular to the surface.

That sure looks better than the thing I
have from Sears. It's a hoseclamp thing
that uses an extension bar to find the
right angle. And a royal pain in the ass
to use. What you've found may be a
reasonably cheap alternative to a drill
press. Which I should likely just bite
the bullet and buy.

Hmmm.....

Since I posted this, it's gone from "in stock" to "out of stock" at
sears......perhaps I need to keep such things to myself... :)

Is that the same manufacturer I wonder?

"Realtor" and "realty" are pronounced "reel'-tor" and
"reel'-tee", *not* "reel'-a-tor" and "reel'-i-tee" !!!!
If you pronounce them with the extra syllable, you will
sound like a complete idiot.
