I LOVE crazy ideas, even if they have 50% chance of working ! As a guy on YouTube, whose name I have now forgotten, said "Every day is a school day in the machine shop".
Will you use an outboard bearing for the drill press ? Hope that you photograph and post the setup, Pete, even if it doesn't perform as well as you'd like. Even partial successes (NOT implying that your idea will be anything but successful) are very useful as a learning tool !!!
Cheers !
