Drill Press Stops
#2
Either the work piece or the vice should be held so that it is up against the drill press post to keep it from turning if the drill bit grabs.  A shipmate on the Coral Sea learned this lesson the hard way as he had to have several stitches in his left hand from the work piece spinning around and hitting his hand.

Th hold downs are a good idea, but there should be another piece of material of equal thickness used to keep them parallel with the work.  As shown only a small portion of the hold down is applying any pressure to the work.
