I'm currently using my drill press to show off my extensive dust collection, but that's a whole different story.

I appreciate the fact you kept that video so concise. All too often people want to turn that into a 10 minute plus video to get the double revenue, and I can’t stand that. Thanks for keeping it short, sweet and to the point.

That was the most informative 3:23 minutes on KZfaq

Amen to needing the speed charts. Not just for Forstner bits but for all bits. Your bits will last longer and you will make better/cleaner holes!!!

I was just trying to rig up a dial indicator to check table. Then I see tip using coat hanger. Simple, great idea.

Just picked up a used drill press this past weekend and I've already put it to use, but this video is right on time!

To find the center of a round stock or dowel, chuck it up in the drill press, and run it against the bed or sandpaper. It'll make circular rings and the center will have a dot. No measuring needed.

The forstner bits in a drill press can make a great nibbler for roughing out various contours. Just be sure to have a sacrificial board beneath your work.

Worth watching two or three times. Smart stuff, as usual. James’ tips make my shop and its woodworker better and better.

Amazing as always ... The bent wire trick is gold

Tips, tricks, and hacks--most of these from you are excellent, and I mean that seriously. I've been collecting them all my life, which is going on eight decades now. I think soon I will have enough of them stored up that I will be able to call myself a master woodworker. Thank you, Stumpy-Nubs for contributing throughout my apprentice and journey-man training.

Thank for these great tips! I'm never disappointed after watching your videos. You do an excellent job and your tips for wood working are always helpful! Thank you so much!

The mini-mill gets you the 'thumbs-up'!

I bought a set of Fisch fostner wave cutters 5 years ago. Still works amazing. Best drills I ever had.

I pickup great tips on your channel. Great job “Teach”. As a metal sculpture artist my wood working is crude at best and only done when I gotta. I use the drill press to turn crude hammer forms using rasp/ files. Your chisel tip was enlightening. Thanks.

Thanks for all you do.

Some of these I figured out purely out of necessity but the first tip with the Z shaped piece of wire to determine table to spindle level is awesome, going to try it today,thanks !

Hey James thanks for some more GREAT shop tips! I might have one for you...Rather than grabbing the pointy end of the drill from the index, put the pointy end down it will reduce those puncture wounds to your fingers.

Best video you've done in some time. Fast, useful, and tho I've had a drill press since early 80's, I learned new tricks. I watched it twice!

I've never seen or heard about your channel before this video popped up. Thanks for not making it overly long and complicated.

These were all great tips! Any day that I learn something new is golden. Thanks for making my day.

Thank you for your knowledge and inspiration ! I've made some beautiful furniture thanks to tips from you and Steve Ramsey

This is an eye opener, Fantastic.

Awesome tips. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

OK, you got me again James (!) I thought for sure that this time I'd know all the tricks. Wrong again(!!) Never seen the chisel in a vise trick... I've been doing it the hard way using sandpaper (it works, but not as elegant and precise as the chisel). (Someday I'll catch up to you on tips and tricks for at least one tool... But not yet...and please, more, keep them coming! Thanks!!!)

Thanks for the helpful tips. I just got some decent Forstner bits, and so I am very happy to get the speed advice. The coat hanger wire tip is a great one.

Beyond excellent!

DANG-IT! Wish I had known about this channel years ago. Some of these tips would have come in incredibly handy. Definitely gonna keep this vid saved for future projects. Thanks!

Wow great tips I can’t wait to try some of them.

I’ve been using #3 for awhile now and it’s great, as well as most of the others 👍🏻

Excellent video. Thank you Sir.

Good pace, thanks Nubs

These videos are my favorite

Great tips Stumpy!! Thanks!!

Ever since I discovered that it’s the way the rim of Forsner bits drag in the base of the hole being cut that causes them to overheat (to the extent that some woods smoke), I’ve always modified them with two V shaped relief cuts around the rim behind the cutting edge, effectively creating second cutting edges. I also stone the lead cutting edge to a very fine finish. The result is that the bits cut more efficiently and never overheat anymore. Some of the more expensive traditional Forsner bits are actually made this way, but the cheaper ones do not.

So much great tips in just 3 minutes. Thanks

Another winner James Thank you for the ongoing quality content. Always informative and useful…👍🏻

Thank you so much. Great ideas that I, for one, had never thought of or seen before.

Good stuff explained clearly and concisely. Your signature treatment. Thanks much.

This was one of your best videos yet!! Never thought of using it as a vertical lathe. Smart!

Excellent...really really really helpful. Thank you Stumpy

Now that, was a lightning round! Very useful tips!

Great tips!!!!!!!! Thanks Stumpy!!!!!!!!!

some super good tips! Thanks.

Awesome tips...thanks!

Thank You!

If only there were more genuine videos like this. No fluff, no ads

Love it! Great ideas, as always

Great tips......thanks for sharing!!!

Really good, easy, handy, thankye kindly.

Very useful and nicely paced. I also have a Nova Voyager DVR drill press purchased largely because I found changing speed inconvenient and I seldom knew the recommended speed. My Rigid drill press worked well but the Nova Voyager changes speed with a turn of a knob and the computerized display provides an encyclopedia of useful information. I will be able to employ several of your suggestions. Thanks.

Thanks for good stuff.

Excellent video!

Thanks Stumpy!

A couple of those I hadn't thought of, nice.

Best ever of your 'tips' videos. Many thanks for many thinks

Concentrated awesomeness! Thank you Sir

Great info as usual. Some of these I've used, some I've not. Thanks again, James.

Your videos always rock!

ALWAYS good stuff from James. Thank you for some hingsi've never thought of.

First tip just blew my mind - thank you for this concise tip video!

Great tips!

Great tips. That playlist is going to be a very useful resource.

great advice ... thanks once again... l do appreciate your hard work on producing these videos

Good stuff once again.

This one is good - I can’t believe how easy this wire tip is ... one of my favorites. And thanks for the speed chart .... it will come in handy even though your imperial system is killing me ...some weird fraction of something of something of something .... But I still like your channel and I follow it regularly ... keep it up;) Greetings from Slovenia!

Look at that tool selection !

Omg!!! Amazing; thank you!!

*Thank You!* 👍

FREAKIN AWESOME DUDE !!!!

Great tips, James. Thanks.

Love it!

Helpful tips !

Excellent tips, as usual. I bought a drill press and used a straight length of silver steel rod in the chuck, along with a combination square to set the table, but your "zed" (not zee, please!) wire is genius. I agree about the magnetic dishes too. I only own one, but it's a tool that is useful enough to have several. I used it once to check my drive for nails etc., and picked up loads, plus some strange looks from the neighbours!

Super, thanks

Some excellent ideas there. Thank you.

Great tips James, thanks.

Always enjoy your videos. An amazing amount of good information always. Thank you.

Great tips. Thanks :)

Nice tips, conveniently bunched together!

Great tips. Love the hold down idea

Good stuff, Thanks for sharing. - take care from TN.

Excellent information as always!

Thanks !

Very helpful tips - thank you.

Great tips, keep them coming.

That was fun. Thanks!

Great job 👍

Great ideas

I really like this!!!!!!

Looking at buying a drill press soon, so it's really handy to learn these idea's & many others I'm sure. I'd like to know all it's capabilities & get as much use out of it as possible. Keep up the great tips 👍

I love these tips!! I know it’s a great video when I’m disappointed that it’s over too quick. Lol thank you!

super cool!

❤this series...thank you

Very good tips. I must say, I only knew a few of them, thanks !

2:14, When using a clamp, vise or similar to hold something free hand like tip # 8. After clamping the part in the vice, The back end of the vise is often long enough to reach the vertical post on the back of the drill press. Rotate the vise so that it is touch the vertical post. This way, should the drill bit catch and try to rotate the vise, it cant spin because its already touch the vertical post. This prevents the vice from 1) whipping around and smashing the vertical post and damaging the workpiece, vise/clamp and the vertical post and 2)helps prevent the vise from whipping around and either pulling you in or doing a full 360 and smashing your hands.

I learned a couple good ones. Thanks for making these. Great video.

Great video. A lot of useful info. Thanks!

Great paced video with very clear voice. Well done. 🏆
