Default Anyone have a Drill Press?

I'm here in Myrtle until Tuesday and need a drill press to drill a hole through an o2 bung that came on my 3" Asura HFC. I have a drill press but it doesnt provide enough gap to clear the HFC with a bit. I will provide the bits !!

eep. You've got bigger balls than I

I was lucky to have a drill press available; I don't think I could have brought myself to do it without it.

well i just used a 1/2 copper pipe that i cut to about 2 1/2 inches long and stuck that inside the bung extender and used it as a shield to keep the threads safe. worked like a charm. killed my bit though
