Probably... $200 or something for the feature itself. Honestly hopefully less because that's way more than a cordless drill (kit with battery etc) with the same functionality, but it's important enough that I'll pay at least the price of a decent drill. Also notably I moved and don't have a...

At some point it's simpler to build a drill press around a nice cordless drill that someone busted the battery interface on ;D I've definitely thought about using one of those cheesy hand-drill-in-a-jig drill presses, and I do have a Milescraft drill guide (with chuck + hex input shank) so I...

Sadly the clutches are integrated into the drill not the chuck, so basically I'd be poaching just the clutch and putting stuff on the input/output interfaces.

That's more or less the idea, but with a 3-jaw instead of collets (both more work to switch around and I might not even have them for some arbitrary shank size). Also not sure, looks like you have to stick your own chuck-able shank in its backside but that's nbd. I also don't need the fancy...

I think Milwaukee already piloted e-Clutch and even with a lightweight ECM instead of a big induction blob on a drill press it's prone to massive overshoot :) But interesting as I hadn't thought of this option at all as part of this project!

Looking for a unicorn within a set of parameters, or some equivalent alternative: The end goal is to have an adjustable slip clutch on a drill press, like in most cordless drills, or anything else that will allow me to repeatedly use a drill press and limit the drive torque very vaguely...

I have a bunch of (mostly Wera Rapidaptors, and some cheap **** chromed magnetic ones) 1/4" bit holders, but I've recently added some double-ended power bits (with the radiused groove cut out of them, presumably on a lathe). I'm looking for a bit holder for them: - Preferably a locking one...

Pro tip: You appear to have a Milwaukee drill there with a torque limiter on it for driving screws. Use the torque limiter for small drill bits and you'll never break another one again in your life. Usually the range is enough to go up to at least a 1/4" bit.
