my kids are making slot cars for a stem tournament and didn't realize they needed a drill press to drill axel holes.

Does anyone know where I can rent or use one for an hour?

much appreciated!!

I wonder, can your local high school or community college offer some machine time?

Maybe a nearby machine shop or manufacturer would like to offer up some time? It's good community relations, particularly in the context of a kids' tournament. Smile

Does whoever is sponsoring the STEM tournament assume everyone’s family has a drill press? That seems like a bit of a stretch. I don’t know many people who have one.

Maybe the sponsors have made arrangements to provide the use of one to the contestants, and the kids missed that?

Is there a maker space around that neck of the woods? If you can’t find an appropriately equipped SIGforum member, a maker space might be able to help.

If you're on FB go to a community page and ask. I see that a lot in my area and people are always helpful. I needed some wood blocks made just a week ago, posted locally and immediately got a very good wood worker to help.
