Best thing I would suggest is to get a drill press from one of the high volume tool outlets (Harbor Freight, Northlands) The drill presses are pretty good except for the chucks, and are cheap enough you won't feel bad cuttiing the post down, still with a jacobs chuck your total investment would be under $99.00 Canadian or $100.00 US.
