Not without another 3-phase motor, a "pony motor," or maybe some crazy expensive solid state "wizard black box." Here is the cheaper way:
You would need an appropriately rated transformer to bring your single-phase supply voltage up to the voltage required by your 3-phase drill press. I am guessing that must be 480 Volts. Check around farmers' auctions.
Your single-phase transformed voltage must be applied to two of the three windings of your same-rated (480 V) pony motor. The physical output of your pony motor is simply a balanced flywheel mounted directly onto the shaft, to provide some mass and inertia. A 2 or 3 horsepower pony motor could handle well more than a small drill press.
When you apply your transformed voltage (480) to the pony motor, it will hum and refuse to move, since it requires 3 phases to know which way to go. This is the part where you grab the flywheel and give it a good hard spin in the appropriate direction. Your pony motor must be a typical squirrel-cage induction motor.
Now the pony motor is not just a load. Its remaining winding, combined with the two others supplied, will add the 3rd phase power at 480 Volts, provided the flywheel does not absorb a significant part of its rated power capacity. The motor becomes a generator. Michael Faraday would be proud.
Viola! three-phase power from common household supply voltage. All you have to figure out is where to connect all the wires. Good luck, fellow hole-Poker.

What is a drill press vise?
It's a flat vice that clamps to the drill press table, to hold small items being drilled.
What is drill vise?
It is a type of flat vice that fits on the table of a drill press or vertical drill, so it will hold small items while drilling them.
How much does a drill press cost?
A small bench drill press often costs less than $90. The larger floor models with a thicker column and wider throat are about 400.
Does dremel make a drill press?
yes but you need a special diamond tip bladeANS 2 - I have a Dremel drill press, it can be used with any type of small bit. The diamond tip bit may only be for certain materials.

What can you do if you smash your thumbnail?
If there is blood under the nail and throbbing pain, drill a small hole through the nail to let the blood out. I have used a drill press (really) for easy control of the depth as you only want to drill through the nail and not into the skin underneath.
How much drill press coast?
Anywhere from $79 for a small benchtop model to over $500 for a good workshop floor model. Professional ones much higher.
Types of drilling machines?
Basic Types of Drilling MachinesDrilling machines or drill presses are one of the most common machines found in the machine shop. A drill press is a machine thatturns and advances a rotary tool into a workpiece. The drill press is used primarily for drilling holes, but when used with the proper tooling, it can be used for a number of machining operations. The most common machining operations performed on a drill press are drilling, reaming, tapping, counterboring, countersinking, and spotfacing.There are many different types or configurations of drilling machines, but most drilling machines will fall into four broad categories: upright sensitive, upright, radial, and special purpose.UPRIGHT SENSITIVE DRILL PRESSFigure 1 Upright sensitive drill pressThe upright sensitive drill press (Figure 1) is a light-duty type of drilling machine that normally incorporates a belt drive spindle head. This machine is generally used for moderate-to-light duty work. The upright sensitive drill press gets its name due to the fact that the machine can only be hand fed. Hand feeding the tool into the workpiece allows the operator to "feel" the cutting action of the tool. The sensitive drill press is manufactured in a floor style or a bench style.UPRIGHT DRILL PRESSThe upright drill press (Figure 2) is a heavy duty type of drilling machine normally incorporating a geared drive spindle head. This type of drilling machine is used on large hole-producing operations that typically involve larger or heavier parts. The upright drill press allows the operator to hand feed or power feed the tool into the workpiece. The power feed mechanism automatically advances the tool into the workpiece. Some types of upright drill presses are also manufactured with automatic table-raising mechanisms.Figure 2 Upright drill pressRADIAL ARM DRILL PRESSThe radial arm drill press (Figure 3) is the hole producing work horse of the machine shop. The press is commonly refered to as a radial drill press. The radial arm drill press allows the operator to position the spindle directly over the workpiece rather than move the workpiece to the tool. The design of the radial drill press gives it a great deal of versatility, especially on parts too large to position easily. Radial drills offer power feed on the spindle, as well as an automatic mechanism to raise or lower the radial arm. The wheel head, which is located on the radial arm, can also be traversed along the arm, giving the machine added ease of use as well as versatility. Radial arm drill presses can be equipped with a trunion table or tilting table. This gives the operator the ability to drill intersecting or angular holes in one setup.Figure 3 Radial arm drill pressSPECIAL PURPOSE DRILL MACHINESThere are a number of types of special purpose drilling machines. The purposes of these types of drilling machines vary. Special purpose drilling machines include machines capable of drilling 20 holes at once or drilling holes as small as 0.01 of an inch.Gang Drilling MachinesFigure 4 Gang drill pressThe gang style drilling machine (Figure 4) or gang drill press has several work heads positioned over a single table. This type of drill press is used when successive operations are to be done. For instance, the first head may be used to spot drill. The second head may be used to tap drill. The third head may be used, along with a tapping head, to tap the hole. The fourth head may be used to chamfer.Multiple Spindle Drilling MachineThe multiple spindle drilling machine is commonly refered to as a multispindle drill press. This special purpose drill press has many spindles connected to one main work head (Figure 5).All of the spindles are fed into the workpiece at the same time. This type of drilling machine is especially useful when you have a large number of parts with many holes located close together.Figure 5 Multispindle drill pressMicro-Drill PressThe micro drill press is an extremely accurate, high spindle speed drill press. The micro drill press is typically very small (Figure 6) and is only capable of handling very small parts. Many micro drill presses are manufactured as bench top models. They are equipped with chucks capable of holding very small drilling tools.Figure 6 Micro drill pressTurret Type Drilling MachineTurret drilling machines are equipped with several drilling heads mounted on a turret (Figure 6). Each turret head can be equipped with a different type of cutting tool. The turret allows the needed tool to be quickly indexed into position. Modern turret type drilling machines are computer-controlled so that the table can be quickly and accurately positioned.Figure 6 CNC turret type drilling machine
How does an electric drill work?
An electric drill has a small electric motor inside, driving a series of gears. The power from the gears turn a chuck, which holds the bit placed into it thereby drilling a hole.
When drilling small or sharp pieces on the drill press what needs to be done?
When drilling small or sharp pieces on a drill press, it's important to secure the workpiece firmly in place using a vise or clamps to prevent movement and ensure safety. Additionally, use a proper drill bit suited for the material, and consider using a backing board to support the piece and avoid splintering. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses, to protect against flying debris. Lastly, start with a slow speed to maintain control and reduce the risk of breakage.
What are some effective techniques for using a skinny drill to improve precision and accuracy in woodworking?
Some effective techniques for using a skinny drill to improve precision and accuracy in woodworking include: Marking the exact spot where you want to drill with a pencil or marking tool. Using a center punch to create a small indentation to guide the drill bit. Starting the drill at a slow speed to ensure accuracy and control. Holding the drill steady and applying consistent pressure while drilling. Using a drill press or guide to maintain a straight and precise drilling angle.
What is it when drill a small whole then drill a bigger after it?
That is called drilling a 'pilot' hole. This helps the bigger drill bit to keep exactly square.
