Drill press is from Jayhawk and it's an older press with a different type of jig. It's similar to a mill jig, but I don't have the operating instructions! Any body have info or do I contact Jayhawk? It's like a big black square frame with a lever on the front. Thanks

Pictures would do wonders, even if its a generic from google search.

Just call Jayhawk and ask for Russ or Alex in the pro shop division.

If so this is an early model of a pivoting jig that Jayhawk put out in the 90's. The focus is on lining up the center of the grip with a drill bit and then pivoting the ball inside the jig. I drilled on one of these about 16 years ago and could do some very simple tricks on it like very small 1-2 cut oval fingers/thumbs. The big issue with it was their was a lot of bit chatter which did not make those holes very clean and repeatability as there was not the digitals to read or the markings on the handles to use also.
