Wolfcraft 3408 Drill Press Dremel Adapter

thingiverse

This is an adapter that can be used to replace the chuck in a Wolfcraft 3408 drill press to allow attachment of a Dremel. I have only tried it with a Dremel 4000. Other models may or may not work, I'm not sure. I'm uploading this less because I think it will be useful for anybody else and more because it's a great example of what I love about 3D printing. So I bought this drill press for $10 from a local classified ad. It worked great with my drill for a while, but eventually the bearing went out on the built in chuck. I looked around a bit, but couldn't find a replacement for what I felt was a reasonable price. It sat in my shed for a couple years without thinking much about it. Eventually I bought a 3D printer and put it in that same shed. I was clearing space for my printer and I was literally in the process of opening the trash can to drop the drill press into it when the idea popped into my head that I could print something and make this thing that I was about to throw away useful again. Turns out I use the drill press with the Dremel all the time. If there's even a tiny chance that this could be useful to anybody else, I'll be happy to have helped. It constantly amazes me to think of even the tiniest fraction of the possibilities that there are with a 3D printer. So here's my tiny contribution to the most amazing hobby ever!
