   Although not a help to you but perhaps a hint, my Shopsmith serves pretty   
   well as a horizontal or angled boring machine for wood, between the spindle   
   quill feed and the table elevation screw. Its main advantage as a drill   
   press is the two tube support, so the head and table can't twist out of   
   position. The quill feed and depth stop enable very fine adjustments to the   
   rip fence gap for precise joinery. Most of the panel cabinet doors I made on   
   it would hold together by friction.   
      
   If you had a spindle with a shell OD of 1" or less it could mount in a 5C   
   spin index for manual feed.
