Milling Vise
I've wanted one of these for a long time. This is a 2-axis milling vise. You bolt it to your drill press, and it turns it into a light-duty milling machine, with the proper bits, which I have. The vise handle is at the left, the slide handles are at the front and right.
I got this in a trade and had to make up new slide handles. I also disassembled and cleaned it, got it adjusted properly, and gave it a couple of coats of linseed oil. ( Yes, linseed oil is great for tools like this. ) A sharp eye will notice that the handles are made from truss rod bar, plus about $5 worth of fasteners.
Now I can make things from wood, plastic, and softer metals. Steel might be a little too much.
