This would give you two axis movement. (I'm currently converting my cheapie hydraulic log splitter to a workshop electric press..........necessity, the mother of invention!)

Hi Rod,
Thank you for the tip - I know about this thing, actually I have one and using it with larger press drill.
I am still thinking out the details... how to and what exactly to do...
