I went ahead and ordered one...

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.
