I would like to find an adapter to use my drill (a Milwaukee M18 2804-20) as a drill press. I found a few inexpensive models on amazon.com but I'd like to find one that won't break after 10 minutes of use... any recommendations? what should I look for?

I want to buy one for my own use, why would I be a shill for multiple vendors? I'm just showing some examples of the kind of stuff I've been seeing. The price is right but I don't want to buy a piece of crap, and I don't know what to watch out for.

If it helps, my use case involves some larger holes with higher torque / lower speed, so I'm less worried about, say, vibrations than breaking the stand due to high torque. The drill I have has a collar for a side handle and that seems to be the natural place to secure it on one of these things.

Agree with joey ... buy a real drill press. But if you do get one of the models you linked to, i would recommend a corded electric drill rather than cordless. You’re not going to moving it around much so you don’t need the portability of the cordless.
