(57) A drill stand for supporting a drill in position with respect to a workpiece and
advancing said drill to perform a drilling operation. The stand includes a base (10)
and a pair of spaced rods (18,19) extending upwardly therefrom in substantially parallel
alignment. Each rod is pivotally connected to the base and the rods may pivot together
through desired angles with respect to the base. The pivotal connections preferably
incorporate clutch components (21,43,44,25,-45,46) capable of creating a controlled
interference fit securely to clamp the rods in a desired angular position. A drill
supporting bridge (32) interconnects the posts and is slidable therealong toward and
away from the base. The base is further adapted (11,12) to accommodate a workpiece.
