Non-pneumatic clamp and drilling system

A non-pneumatic clamp and drilling system comprising:

• a cabinet having a work surface with a drill bit opening;
• a fence movably secured to the work surface and operatively configured to guide a side surface of a workpiece;
• a clamp assembly secured to the cabinet, the clamp assembly including a clamp pad positioned above the work surface and movable in a direction substantially perpendicular to the work surface so that the clamp can selectively engage a top surface of the workpiece;
• a drill movably secured to the cabinet beneath and at an acute angle to the work surface, the drill having a collet operatively configured to accept and hold a drill bit having a longitudinal axis substantially parallel to the acute angle;
• and
• a handle operatively coupled to the clamp assembly and the drill to simultaneously move the drill collet along the longitudinal axis and to move the clamp pad in the direction substantially perpendicular to the work surface by manually moving the handle so that the workpiece can be secured by the clamp pad and fence when the drill collet is moved towards the drill bit opening in the work surface.
