> I have completed upgrades to my little-bit-wobbley first generation
overhead drill press and produce a very stable second generation version. I
replaced a drawer slide with a steel track and four wheels, and I replaced a
fishing boat seat swivel with a 3,500 lb-rated trailer spindle and hub.
Pretty darn stiff and stable now.
