Except it is entirely counterproductive and a project for a project's sake.

There are stands that turn your regular drill into a "drill press". 100x more rigid than whatever this is. And with drill presses, you can't have deflection or it'll ruin every part you make.

Alternatively, there are $50 drill presses too. Probably "worth the money", but still more rigid than this.

    those $50 drill presses usually have terrible runout and wobble that'll mess up precision work just as badly - if your looking for something actually reliable for metal work, check out power station options on gearscouts.com to run a proper bench drill when you're away from outlets.
