I took the bottom 'foot' off the bottom of the press and then bolted the bracket to the underside of my work bench. I still plan to make this into a better set up... this was kind of temporary to see if it would even work, and at that point I didn't want to do anything to the press that I couldn't undo later. It was more stable than I thought it would be, and I was really leaning on it at times.

What about a bench mounted woodworking sander? Maybe they rotate too fast... the beauty of the drill press is that you can change the belt placement to produce three different speeds.

I think the most important parts are the wheel and a shaft to fit the wheel. If you could find those parts, maybe with a belt wheel to go onto the shaft, the rest should be pretty easy to get together. No luck for me yet, but I haven't searched as much as I could...
