[Shop-talk] building a mag drill

[john niolon]

there are times when you need a mag drill and nothing else will do... but 
the 300-2000 dollar price tag is difficult to pay when you need it twice a 
year... wonder what would be involved in building on ???   fabricating an 
electromagnet ???  substituting something that will BE an electromagnet ??? 
attaching a drill is just fabrication mostly but the base has me stumped...

any ideas

thanks
John
