Trying to make disk sander from drill. One idea was to make Switch N Lock Drill Mount and put plank front of it.
Bigger problem is drilling tune-o-matic bridge holes bigger in 90 degree. I have drill stand. Drill is
too far a way from holes. Bridge bolts is in US standart. Hole is for japanese copy. Hole is 6mm
I need to make it 10mm. Drill guide block is too closed to see how deep I drill.
Craftsman drill guide is right thing. Problems is that in estonia I can only buy
craftsman lawn mowers. Wolfcraft don't produce drill guids with chuck anymore.
I can buy in store Wolfcraft tecmobil
I'm not sure if tecmobil guide really helps drill in 90 degree. I have both corded and cordless drill.

For years I've taken my old single speed black & decker clamped it upside down in a vise mounted to my work bench. (Be sure to protect the drill by putting an old rag/carpet piece between the steel jaws.) Tighten enough to hold the drill firmly in place but not to tight to damage drill. I also do the same thing w/my belt sander, turning it into a bench sander. Hope this helps!
I'm not vise the drill. I made Switch N Lock Drill Mount.
Vise is bad Idea for drill etc. If someone modifies clamps can make something like this for cordless drill.
I have to upload pictures from my camera to computer. Right now I can't show my drill mount.
Hole on body is small. Not the hole in bridge. I have corded drill with 41mm collar.
Tecmobil what is in estonia on sale are without chuck. It's meant for corded drills with 43mm collar.
The Tecmobil looks similar enough to the Craftsman. I think it would drill holes at 90 degrees. The only problem might be how to hold the tune-o-matic bridge in place while you're drilling. Maybe something like putting a board in the bottom of the drill guide and using double sided carpet tape to hold the bridge to the board.
I think the Switch and Lock drill mount would work for a disc sander, if you put a board in front of it like you're saying. It could also make a great pickup winder!
Hi,
I haven't tried these products (I have a cheap bench drill I use) but recently watched this video on youtube showing how to make 90 degree holes with a cordless drill.

This method what is shown on youtube only works once or two. Because drill bit damages wood .
Anyone ever used Wolfcraft tecmobil ?
