Hey guys I have all the stuff now to make my folder but I am having an issue with my drill press. Our drill press is an older smaller one, not too top quality, but it works. Its small maybe 6 inches of travel. The problem is that I cant get it to hold the right drill bits. It holds down to about 1/16 but anything other than that it cant hold. I was wondering if I could use something like this and "Double chuck" the drill. http://www.leevalley.com/en/Wood/page.aspx?p=69869&cat=1,180,42334&ap=1

I was wondering if this would work? If it wouldnt be precise enough then is there another way anyone knows about? Maybe I just need to get a new press, and If I do dose anyone have any suggestions as to what drill press to get?
 
I picked up those 2 little chuck adapters. I am going to try them on my day off on Sunday, if they dont work ill have to get a real chuck or new press. Thanks for the help guys
