Pillar drill adjustable floor stand

Seen here with adjustable machine feet from Axminster bolted through 25mm MDF  with the four securing bolt poking through all adjusted and level in both directions, and then screwed down through with 4" * 12  screws into the floorboards and joists.


My new drill arrived on time as Axminster had promised then delivery here five days later, and went back the following week, changed with no problem at all, the second one arrived Saturday morning, all assemble today. Then I set about making this adjustable stand to bolt it to the workshop floor  I made it adjustable to allow for any floor settlement, it now mounted and secured.  My advice to anyone owning a floor standing drill, secure it, they can easily be toppled over.
