Those drill stands show up on eBay every day by the truckload. Usually $5-10.

No you don't. Not worth it. Even if you bought one for $5.00. You'd only
have to drill a dozen holes and you'd understand. Buy a cheap bench top
drill press instead. Of course the more you spend the better, but even the
cheapest one will be a huge improvement over what you're talking about.

I have to agree. Not that I have never used one -- as a
High-Schooler I had one in my room. It was better than the hand-held
drill alone, but I kept trying to make it better. By the time I
finished, it was nearly unrecognizable -- but still not really worth
having. I replaced it with the Unimat SL-1000 in drill-press/mill mode,
to show you how bad it was.

Back then (the late 1950s) there were *no* affordable bench-top
drill presses. Today, you have all of the import junk, which is still
miles above anything in a drill stand. :-)

Enjoy,
DoN.

Bummer, just last week I tossed one in the garbage. Tried to sell it at a
garage sale for $5, but no takers. Got tired of it being in the way so off
it went. I echo what Jim said, even a cheap drill press would be better.
However, if you still want one use the old standby of eBay. In 5 seconds I
found one listed. With more time you might find others. Here's the link to
the one I found:

Don't go that route. The CHEAPEST bench top drill press will beat the
conversion mount by so many times, that you will hate yourself for going the
hand drill route. I have one sitting in the corner of my garage somewhere.
I used it exactly twice. Once after an hour of careful setup, then once
more after two hours of setup. Impossible to get repeatable dependable
results.
