A good video. There are several safety items that need to be stressed. The worst accidents in the shop that I've seen involve a drill press. Long sleeves, watches/rings, and long hair around a drill press can get you a trip to the emergency room. If a drill press grabs you, you can't turn it off fast enough. Failure to clamp the work piece securely to the table will finally catch you out. The drill press will turn your work into a Frisbee sailing across the shop and you pray that your or someone else is not in it's way. On a more cheerful note: If you have a small drill press without a rack and pinion to raise and lower the table get a automobile muffler clamp that will fit around the drill press column. Double nut one side of the clamp and put a wing nut on the other side. Clamped under the table, now you can loosen the table without it sliding down on you or you can set the clamp to adjust how far the table will go down when you loosen the column clamp. Cheers from NC/USA

Hi Tomasz, another great video for the novice, as an experienced user I feel that the additional table is essential for safe, accurate working, when drilling metals a machine vice is also a must, it's also worth mentioning when drilling to 'nibble' i.e. raise and lower the bit to clear swarf/shavings to prevent overheating the bit (amongst other things), lubricants as well when drilling metals, a drill press is also very useful for guiding/starting a tap at a perfect 90 degrees when cutting threads in metals, learning how to sharpen drills is a skill worth having, points I appreciate are not within the scope of a basic introduction video.

Hi Tomasz, Great video again. If you put the sacrificial disk off centre with respect to the drill, then you can rotate it after it has been drilled through a few times.

@CasualDIY 4 ай бұрын

Have you got the same drill? If not the speed chart most likely will not correspond to yours. If you have the same drill then you can find two speed charts on this machine. One on the front above the chuck and another one when you lift the lid covering the wheels - its on the lid

A good informative video. Thank you. However, I am building a table and I am using dowels to connect the apron. How do I drill the holes into the end pieces of the apron that are too long to fit under the drill press? Do I use a hand drill and hope I have a steady hand that day? Any suggestions?

Hi Tomasz, why do they call it a drill press when it is so obviously a vertical drill, or is that an American phrase ? At a pinch you could press a bearing into a hub or something, but will still be a vertical drill. Keep the great videos coming, enjoying them.

@CasualDIY 2 жыл бұрын

No idea. I wanted to say pillar drill but there was more search for phrase "drill press" 🤣

@aceroadholder2185 2 жыл бұрын

You would have to be very careful pressing bearings. The rack is on a round surface so the gear doesn't have much engagement with the teeth and it would be very easy to break one. A small arbor press would be a much better option. You will find that an arbor press gets a lot more use than just pressing bearings.

I am a new subscriber, but I would like to offer a suggestion: PLEASE ease off on the "Newscaster" speech patterns! Ask one of your friends or family to watch one of your videos, ask them if it looks like you're "putting it on" for the camera! Using a false, over-emphatic, dramatized, stilted, 'Uptalk' comes across as unnatural, and really undermines your excellent content! Just speak to your viewers naturally, like you talk to your friends. Make it sound genuine, honest, sincere, and NATURAL.

Lol really? So if someone is buying a drill press for the very first time and it's his first tool of this type he then already knows how to use it, how to change the speed and so on... do they gain that knowledge through shopping experience or maybe as they press buy button on the Internet that information in a magical way is transferred to their brain 🤔 very interesting statement. Specifically when few thousand people watch this video to gain that knowledge. Well it could be the case that it's just you, you must be so special that you gain knowledge in a magical way on every single tool you buy for the first time. If so congratulations I would love to have an ability like that👍
