Wolfcraft 3408 Drill Press Dremel Adapter

thingiverse

I'm attaching an adapter that can be used to replace the chuck in a Wolfcraft 3408 drill press, allowing the attachment of a Dremel. I've only tested it with a Dremel 4000, but other models may or may not work - I'm still unsure. I'm uploading this more as a testament to what I love about 3D printing than anything else. So I bought this drill press for $10 from a local classified ad. It worked great at first, but eventually the bearing went out on the built-in chuck. I looked around for a replacement, but couldn't find one at a price I felt was reasonable. It sat in my shed for two years, collecting dust, before I bought a 3D printer and put it right next to it. As I was clearing space for my new printer, the idea popped into my head that I could print something and make this old drill press useful again. It turns out I use the drill press with my Dremel all the time now. I'm constantly amazed by the possibilities of 3D printing - even tiny ones. So here's my contribution to this incredible hobby!
