Just be careful when drilling through a handle, several models have their trigger wires pulled up through the hollow in the handle. Don't want to nick those.
On that Griz model stand, the blade will be moving in the wrong direction. With the kind of torque most of these puppies have doing things upside down would be down right scary. Also there is no "table" to support your object to be cut. Looks like it would be a lot of trouble to modify for use as I see it.

Darn I didn't notice that. I was about to pull the trigger on the Grizzly but you're right, the blade would be moving in the wrong direction! Thanks for noticing that!
I have an old burned out Delta drill press I've been meaning to get rid of, I may be able to use the upright support and base to mount a portable to in some way and still be able to stow it out of the way when not in use. (My shop started with woodworking and has expanded to knife making and I just don't have any room left for any larger machinery.)
Thanks again Crex, you just saved me a big headache!
