I've run into the following problem a few times, and I wonder if anybody has a trick I can use to solve it...
My drill press table isn't rack and pinion driven, so it can swivel freely around the column. I want to be able to clamp a workpiece to the table, drill a hole, then move the table vertically while maintaining the same dead-on radial position, so that if I drill again, I'm dead on the center of the previously drilled hole. Is there some easy trick to do so that I can't fathom? Thx.
