Is it safe to put router bits in drill chucks? Routers use Colletts
which hold bits more securely, perhaps? If I can get a drill press
and a Bitmoore milling vise, I was thinking of putting router bits in
the drill press. So, my question is, is it safe to do this? I
wouldn't want to be hit
I can't say if it's safe or not. But most drill press motors aren't as powerful
as the router motors. So, I would try say a 1 inch round over bit on hardwood.
The other concern is that drills are made to go down and not really to have
pressure put on them from the side. Sure you can use spindle

I don't know anything about DC motors in the context of a furnace, certainly I
have never seen one but that doesn't mean they don't exist.
I have rarely had my furnace motor off in the 15 or 16 years since the furnace
was installed, I never set it to auto and the reason is just as your man

Maybe a new list should be started for hmm, the industrial arts?
So, I can just pack everything into boxes? I wish the jointer bed would come
apart into more pieces. I think I'll take the two extention wings off the saw,

Wow! this sounds too cool!
I live in Talladega Alabama a city which is known for racing. We also

if harbor frieght doesn't have one, call McMaster Carr and I think you'll
fid something superior.
I tell the customer call person that I'm blind and they are willing to

can take some time.
But they are good folks, and
you are so lucky, that sound cool!!!

Can't say I like the idea of fire, though a roll over doesn't really scare
