They don’t exist. You have to make your own.<BR>

Stanwood uses a benchtop drill press. I’ve only got my big drill, so I modified a center pin punch, Schaff #178, p. 44. This included making a new handle, since the old one was too wimpy for lead. Some years back John Hartmann described a press he made for installing backchecks, out of a device that converts your hand drill to a drill press. It looked cool, so I kept the link: <a href="http://www.grizzly.com/products/item.cfm?itemnumber=g8061">http://www.grizzly.com/products/item.cfm?itemnumber=g8061</a> I suppose you could make a chuck of some sort for that as well.<BR>
