IMPROVE DRILL PRESS ACCURACY IMMEDIATELY! 

A few more great drill press tips. This gives me inspiration to think of other jigs or systems for optimizing the drill press. Thanks Joe!

I like to use wood drills, those with a pointy tip. Thes can be aimed with ease. Will drill many aluminum alloys too.

I never thought of that indexing idea---lifting the workpiece to the bit. Thanks--just one more little time saver and accuracy-maker to my shop! Thanks for doing this video!

Good stuff Joe. 👍

running a bit the same size as the fastener head backwards is how i make countersinks. at least until a proper countersink bit is in my budget

A chuck in a carefully made block of wood can also work reasonably well as a poor man's indexing head, much like a collet block.

Nothing wrong with the rest of your tips, but #1 can be very dangerous if not used carefully. Drill presses are NOT mills are are not designed to take the lateral forces that it would be put under when using a 2nd chuck as a 'micro lathe'. If using a really soft material and shallow cuts, I'm sure it would be fine, but if somsone sees this and tries it with some hardwood/steel and tries to mill a deep cut, it can potentially end in life-changing injuries.

Ideas, maybe. Accuracy as titled,NO!

Doesn't address the slop in the chuck/quill its self, so there is no more accuracy than you began with.
