Oc1, If I had the actual room for a larger r Mill I surely would have one. The closest thing I have is vintage Black and Decker drill stand for a 1/2 inch Drill.  I threw a small x/y table on it.  It won't earn the Popular Mechanic's tool of the year award, but with my Harbor Freight foot switch it frees up my hands to do what it can do. I am not disillusioned into thinking it could do the job of a good drill press, I am just happy to have something that can drill a hole straight 4 out of five times...lol

The nice thing us the camping jaw is big enough I can throw a small router in it and do some light feeding of wood, plastic or very light aluminum.
Bad day of fishing still beats a good day at work!
