Safety Note
* Clamp down anything drilled with a drill press. Position your work piece to the left of the post so the piece won't spin if the bit grabs.
Helpful Hint
* If trying parts from hardware drawers, keep the drawer open a couple inches so that if you need you need to put something back you can find where it came from.
