I had this idea a couple of months ago and I've been itching to get at it.
I'm super pleased with it as it works exactly how I hoped it would and makes the drill press a safer machine. It's quick and easy to set which I reckon makes it a winner. If something is easy to use then it will get used.
Hopefully it inspires you to make one for yourself. If you do, there would be many ways to do it, not just by machining. You could fabricate one or even make one out of wood.
As always I'm happy to answer any questions.

I'd highly recommend checking out @MariusHornberger too, he's recently done something similar but dialed to 11
I'd recommend pure alcohol/ethanol as a coolant/lube for aluminium. WD-40 isn't the best for it.
@@TheClimbex How about the old school half kero, half paraffin liquid, or half WD 40, half paraffin ?
@@stephensmith8756 @@stephensmith8756 never tried that. On fully enclosed milling centers we use an high tech emulsion and even there, in small threat holes, we use ethanol for aluminium. In steel or stainless we use a thick cutting oil. For cutting aluminium on an open milling machine or drill press ethanol is best.
This is fantastic work. I always get nervous seeing people use bare hands on a drill press, or even an non-secured vise. 10/10 idea and execution. Thanks for sharing.
The use of the shoe to translate ring clamping force into rod clamping is genius. Very well done sir!
That's what struck me too -- the shoe solves the problem, and it's completely hidden too!
I also like how it clamps to the rod and stand with a single clamp action. The only thing I slightly question is needing a shoe, it seems like the rod hole could intersect the main center hole and clamp directly against the stand. It would be a much smaller surface area but the force would be more focused, for what is needed seems like it would still suffice for holding. Either way its a great device.
@@nickcody7257 the shoe is likely to distribute the clamping force. The higher pressure from the smaller clamping area might deform his bar and reduce tool life.
@@planbuildrepeat8264 The shoe was aluminium the bar steel.
Thanks very much John - glad you enjoyed that! :)
That is so clever and well engineered, it should probably be a product on its own. Nice one Neil
Most people would just buy a magswitch
@@MKRM27 whatever works for you
Thank you! :)
@@PaskMakes If you were going to make and sell these, what would be the cost would you think?
It's literally a shaft collar with a hole drilled in it, the even have ones that lock just like the one he made.
The main thing I love about this channel is the randomness of your projects. We never know what awesomeness Pask will come up with next. Can’t wait for the next one!
And he always shows his mistakes and he's able to concur and continue
Glad you're enjoying the projects Chad - I'm very lucky to be able to make what I want and try new things out! :)
Random, Kumiko, Random, Kumiko, Random, Kumiko, Random, Kumiko, Random, Kumiko... I love it.
Thank you Pask!
Neil, I gotta say that is the slickest drill press vice setup I think I’ve ever seen, easy to use and there are no clamps to get in the way. Genius.👍👍👍
I agree very clever
I really am super happy with it Doug - Thanks very much! :)
I've never seen a clamping system like this before but it is beautiful, elegantly basic, and seems extremely useful too.
My first idea wasn't as elegant but I tinkered and it evolved - glad you liked it! :)
This you could definitely market this as well...Excellent solution for a very dangerous operation.
What an absolutely wonderful idea. Not only a great idea but a fabulous result. Love watching your content, Neil. You are such a clever & talented maker. Thank you for sharing this with us all.
Thanks very much Vickie! :)
As a refinement to this design, you could put a slight angle, maybe 1 or 2 degrees to the hole in the clamp for the rod angled down toward the drill table. So when you tighten down the clamp, the rod would push down on the vice holding it in position.
Genius, just pure genius. I can’t get enough of the thoughts that comes from this man’s head. Pure genius!
Thanks very much! :)
This is probably in the top 10 of the most genius ideas I've seen in the makers world. Mad stuff!!!
Love this idea, drill press accidents are no joke and the number of near misses I have had makes me think that this is a wonderful device for any drill press. Kudos.
Holy crap this is genius! I've recently started rewatching all your videos (already seen them all, some multiple times), and there's just something special with all of your projects! You're a true source of inspiration and information, thanks a lot for everything :)
Thanks very much Erik - glad you're enjoying the videos! :)
Great build. You're getting a lot of mileage out of the drill press! It's fun to see the progression from restoration to customization. I would say that "I thought it would need some tinkering but, it just worked perfectly" is a major theme for your videos. Cheers!
By far and away my favorite maker on UA-cam. Love all your projects and videos! Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks very much Clark! :)
Wow! This is just getting great! Each project gets more and more intricate. The execution is the real treat for me and I really appreciate the fact that you’re not editing out the over site with the hole from the wrong side. It helps me to soldier on with my projects if I make a mistake. Cheers!
Everybody gets ahead of ourselves. Good save, though... It's always step 1,2,3 etc.
Perfect shop drill press accessory. I don’t have a mill or lathe, but I’m going to make this for sure! I breakdown old desktop printers and save chrome rods and bushings. Thanks for sharing your amazing talent with us!
I really appreciate that you also show your mistakes, like with drilling hole/recess on the wrong side. It's important part for me and it shows that mistake doesn't have to be total failure ;)
Just looked up float lock vise and gotta say yours is a massive improvement.
A great example of a well-made video. The video quality is good with good in focus close-ups, the commentary succinct and to the point, the sound and accoustics excellent. Great content too!
Thanks very much Angus - Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Awesome Neil! The craftmanship is from another level, sheer brilliance. Please keep on making these projects, while your videos are always a blast to look at, both the length, the level of details and variety of camera angles (and your voice-overs). Cheers!
Fantastic concept and execution as always. Quality of life improvements in the shop are a direct translation to quality of work improvement. This piece is no exception I’m sure
Glad you like it Ian - Thanks very much! :)
The moment I saw the ring clamp I was like 👍!GENIUS!👍 Thanks for the vid, making one of these is on my list now! My drill press is a floor-standing model with a rack on the back so I’ll need to make the separate inner ring you mentioned, but I love the elegance of your design. Big thanks for sharing this with us!
The drill press accessory video I didn’t know I needed. By the guy who needed to do it. Bravo, well done as always!
I’m glad you’ve made this. Every video I see when someone is holding something while drilling makes me grit my teeth. This is an elegant solution and if it’s not something which already exists, you should consider getting some made and selling them.
Your engineering skills never cease to amaze me. Good job Neil.
Thanks very much John! :)
What a brilliant solution you have demonstrated.
Amazing idea, narration, camera, editing ... just loved everything, love all your projects and always wait for the next.
I am always impressed with your work. However on this particular piece, I am astounded. This is amazingly well thought out and brilliantly executed. Bravo, my friend! I wish I had half of your skills, as I would love one of these for my shop.
I feel like this would be a great intro to machining project, because it uses multiple work holding and machining techniques, it's practical and useable, and adjusting it to fit an individual drill press would be a good exercise in how to modify a design.
Utterly inspiring. I have wood working tools, for building stringed instruments but how I would LOVE a budget milling machine if there is such a thing. Thank you and a pleasure to watch.
I felt really pleased with myself for making some t-nuts so that I could bolt mine through the table, now you've completely blown me away!
I'm always impressed that you make things like the camlock lever rather than repurposing a cheap bike part.
Good work.
Thanks Ian - I'm sure your system works fine. Making things like the cam lever is the fun part! :)
And you can get the same exact result with a screwdriver in the table slot and like magic you got a stop
I'm always impressed by your ingenuity. This is one elegant, and brilliant solution!
Thanks again for bringing us a great project. I, for one, appreciate when you leave in the mistakes to show how to correct them. I always learn a new technique watching you videos. :)
Glad you find the videos useful Bobby! :)
Always such a joy to come home and discover that you posted a new project for us to enjoy! Thanks a million Neil!
Glad you're enjoying the videos Joel - Thanks very much! :)
I just love watching the process and how it all comes together. Whatever the project, your craftsmanship is an excellent watch!
That was surprisingly complex for what on the outside looks like a very simple device. Hats off to you for coming up with such an ingenious design.
This is why I love watching your videos Neil because there's always something worth watching and the amazing work you do is outstanding and inspirational to the brim.
Absolutely awesome idea mate and as always, I thoroughly enjoyed the video 😉😉👍🏽👌🏅
Thanks very much Ian - glad you're enjoying the projects and videos! :)
Beautiful, the clamp assembly is nothing short of elegant, well done, thanks for the vid!
Now that is a *brilliant* design. Quick, easy, reliable, simple to use, and fancy looking to boot!
Easy? Bless ya if you think so...
Seriously cool stuff, Pask! I'm in awe at your skill and making quality, that thing is beautiful.
Once again, you have come up with an idea and followed through beautifully. Keep up the great work. Don't stop pushing yourself.
Just brilliant in everyway. The video, narration and final usefulness of this. Wildly great. Greetings from a cabinetmaker in California.
SENSATIONAL! What magnificent workmanship and professionalism. I didn't want the video to end! I could watch your work all day long!
Is a joy to see you working on that milling machine! Thanks for sharing Pask!
Another fantastic build. I am always impressed by how clever your solutions are.
I've watched a whole lot of vids about interesting functional tool mods. This is by far the most creative thing I've seen in a while. Excellent work, and very well done.
Everytime I use the drill press, especially with large drills I think of all the people who have been injured by this single piece of equipment. Thanks to a good shop teacher that instilled in us the respect that this machine needs 40 years ago. Making this accessory is on top of my list even though I do a lot of my drilling on a Bridgeport most of the time these days.
Again. I'm blown away. I want one. Even if it's for my crappy HF drill press. Cheers to you good sir
It is absolutely amazing what you can do with the proper tools. This is genius-level work. Thanks for sharing.
Appreciate you keeping the mistake you made, in the video and showing us your excellent solution to correct the problem.
I need one of those!
This whole project is so well designed and executed. Great project and thanks.
Thanks very much Adam! :)
Absolute brilliant idea and they way you described and showed how to built is a credit to you. Pity the manufacturer of these drill presses didn’t take up this idea. Thanks
Absolutely genius. If I had a mill I'd be making this today. I'm not sure it can be working as flawlessly without it, but maybe if I work carefully it might. Would buy it in a heartbeat!
Great video and safety idea for the drill press. I think it will be very handy. I was taught to use the drill press column as a stop arm when possible to stop rotation of the drilled part. This accessory takes that to a much better safety feature.
Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic use of scrap metal. Safety win’s every time. Cheers from Brooklyn, NY.
Brilliant idea and superbly fabricated as always, great photography too 👍
That's very inventive Neil. Loved the creative machining setups, and I also love how simple and usable the end result is. Great stuff, thank you for sharing. Cheers, Craig
Thanks Craig - glad you enjoyed it mate! Still learning with the machining but I'm thoroughly enjoying it. :)
A really nice design and your supporting dialog is excellent. Thanks for thevideo. I plan on sealing your ideas for my drill presses when I get that far.
Stellar workmanship as per usual, Neil. Your videos inspired me to make a stand for a pc monitor without any vesa mount holes, that I wanted to use in the vertical position. Nice little bank holiday welding project with some spare 50 x 3 flat bar and an adjustable stand from another device. I could've bought something cheap off eBay, but I saved a few quid and got the satisfaction of making something myself. Look forward to your next project 👍
Super nice result. I suspect as you use this more and more you'll realize that locking it down is unnecessary for most cases. Having it free floating is truly where the magic of this design shines. Since the rod is captured such that the vice can't spin once the drill bit is engaged. Free to slide in X and Y does not compromise the safety in anyway. Locking it down is really only helpful if you have multiple holes to be drilled in the same location. 👍😎👍 Thanks for the inspiration ...... I have added it to my list of projects i need to work.
Oh my god, I spent days making a cross vise so I can move my piece without having to undo the clamp and it turned out wobbly and all. This is so much simpler. What a clever idea!
Simple idea and it's amazing no one has thought of this! Brilliant!
Thanks for posting. I'm not a machinist and as such I don't have much in the way of machining tools. However, I do a good bit of cutting metal and drilling with a drill press. I purchased a vice-grip type tool that bolts down thru the drill table slot and then clamps down onto the material being drilled. It works pretty good for what I do and it has saved my fingers no doubt. I do an inward cringe when I see someone just holding a chunk of steel with their fingers. You design is really nice. Thanks again.
I used to have a system like this that utilised the ring clamp from a damaged drill press with the same radius as mine. Worked well enough but a bit cumbersome, I let it go with the press when I sold it. Your version looks much easier to use - well done Sir
This is so out of my league, but I amazed and in awe of your work. Thank you for sharing.
Brilliant build. When I saw it on Instagram I thought that you had made the hole for the rod slightly proud of the ID to clamp the rod onto the column, but the shoe is a much better solution! Also, quite cool that you automated it ;)
Top marks Neil, I was transfixed, what a cracking device.
Beautiful and elegant design in function and form. This could be a revolutionary product.
To see a genius at work is always a pleasure. Best Regards from Germany Markus
That is a fantastic enervation to the drill press Neil. Great job
Great combination of features. Nicely thought-out approach. Thanks!
I looked at the floating clamps they sell, and none come even close to the one you made, way more simple, clever and functional!!!!
Mr Pask, this is elegant, effective and impressive as always. Inspired again!
Love how you always find a way to use recycled material and super clever!! Love your videos
thank you - Glad you enjoying the videos! :)
great stuff Neil, love watching you at work.
Elegant solution! I'm going to take some inspiration from this for my own drill.
I like your creative solutions to some workholding problems. It's refreshing!
Your drill press keeps getting better! 👍
It really looks like metal! You matched the drill so well.
Very nice and you made it look easy. The dual clamping is genius.
Absolutely fantastic. So many good solutions for this bunch of small challenges in this project.
I tinkered around with the design before starting and it eventually got to this - I'm super happy with it! :)
This is ingenuity you would see from people living in the early 20th century. I admire the concept of a singular motion have two different functions become locked down, then in one easy motion you can freely move it wherever needed.
What an elegant solution! Such a beautiful end result too!
You outta know that I think you’re brilliant and your videos are a real treat to my life.
This video was a beautiful thing to watch. Your attention to detail is to be comended! Thanks for sharing.
Cool build. From inception to design to build, really good engineering.
a brilliant device! Wonderful to watch you make it!
that's a seriously good tool .An outstanding improvement on the traditional design.
I love the variation of your projects. Very cool.
That’s freaking brilliant. I’ve needed something like that for years.
Fresh as always. Unique channel. Thank you Neil
Wow! That is an excellent design with enviable execution. Well done Sir!
I have been thinking for several months how to make a clamp for my sailboats prop shaft so I can lock it in place when I am sailing. This design is going to help me a lot. Thank you for sharing this UA-cam.
Simple, elegant, effective, this is absolutely brilliant design!
Well done Neil! You should definitely consider marketing that lock down clamp! 👍👍
This is an inspired idea I love it. I watched Blondihacks make a float vice and was convinced that was the way to go but this is much better in my opinion and I could make this where I would have been struggling to make the float vice. Thank you for taking the time to put this up
You are a straight on metal master carpenter! I love all your vids. I have dreams of such mastery! You make aluminum look like wood!
I loved watching the conception become reallity. Nice work!
For sure I ENJOIED the video! Fantastic work. Congrats!
Another great idea. Very useful clamping device. Thanks for sharing
That’s an awesome little project that could be utilized for so many drill press accessories. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Beautiful! Both, idea and execution👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
