great tips, and good video, one point, Ergonomics is the study of body posture, kinesthetics is the study of a bodies motion, ie the least, most ecconomic movement to execute any given task.( for repetitive actions the least muscle used, and the lesser the force, the better). one analogy to this is that the micro-surgeon does the same thing, over a microscope, and tiny, deliberate motion of tools, for long hours, to save "burning oneself out" means getting comfortable, thats the secret to endurance, safety, and lessening fatigue.

what brand and where did you buy your drill press stand?

[@Qualityhasnoregrets]

I have no idea. just cheap Chinese ones. I buy them as i see them at my local flea market , cut the drill head off and sell them to my engraving students as I have them.

@@Qualityhasnoregrets what is the height from the floor to the table top of the drill press? I have an option to buy a grinder stand that can be lowered to 28 inch only.. I'm wondering if that is too high. I understand it can be different for each individual

@@allenl9214 as pictured, my is 26" but as mentioend in the video, a lot factor go into this, your height, the vise height, what kind of magnification you use, etc.

Do you realize that little wilton baby bullet vise is worth over $400.00 with its stand now. LOL Man I wish I would have kept mine all these years. Great video for all the youngsters getting into the business that do not think about how bad this job can jack your body up if you do not pay attention to everything you are talking about. Thanks for the info.

no, I had no idea. Wow I do have another base, but no vise for it.
