With the old Craftsman drill press possibly squared I’ve moved on to checking for runout on the chuck. And to that end I’ve created a 3D printed runout gauge holder for round dial indicator.

Drill Press Squaring (with 3D Printed Tool)
I was attempting use a Craftsman bench press to center drill Titanium bolts with HSS drill bits. It didn’t go well so I’ve made a tool to square the table.
Drilling Titanium (with HSS Bits)
About two years ago I decided that Titanium would make a great material for a throat nozzle. Throat nozzles being the bit between the heatsink and heater on a 3D printer. Fast forward two years. And now you can purchase them from at least a few sources. It’s good to have my notions verified.
