Best way to drill/tap a lathe carriage

[T0rnado69]

hi all
i want to drill and tap two holes in the end of the carriage
what would be the best way to do this.

i guess trying to drill them with the carriage on the lathe with a power drill would be hard.

so really the best way i can think of
would be to take the carriage off and drill on a pillar drill.....?

and I don't have a mag drill.... unless someone close to me does.



thoughts....

cheers all
