Mill/drill Z-Axis Power Feed

I noticed on a forums couple of times guys had overcome one of the mill/drills weaknesses , the lack of power down feed. They had powered the downfeed with an adapter to their cordless drill. Their adapters went on the handle like oil filter sockets, with a couple of prongs over the edges. A power feed makes for a much finer finish. This will allow one to bore things like a bearing housings. I kept that idea in the back of my mind. Low and behold I found a oil filter end socket in KMS clearance bin for 99cents. It fit, I'll just have to cut a slot for the handle.

It's better to be lucky than good looking as the saying goes. However, for you good looking guys, PA has an adjustable one in their current flyer.
