Homemade pin router.

[Worth1]

Just so you know what one looks like here is a picture of a real one something like I used to run.


I cant afford one of these they cost thousands of dollars.

I also dont care for router tables.
Besides you can do many things with this you cant or it would be hard to do with one.
What I have came up with is to convert my drill press into one.
Right below where the depth stop gauge is attached there is enough of the shaft left to attach a split collar.

I hope this attachment comes out.

The router is 2 Hp and has a round body.
The drill press has a tilting table that will tilt from side to side and from back to front.

doing this and if I could make the fixture to hold the router and it to the round shaft I could have a milling machine for wood.

Any ideas on this fixture I would have to have made or make myself.
Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.
