Safely Lock Down Your Drill Press in an Instant

I had this idea a couple of months ago and I've been itching to get at it.
I'm super pleased with it as it works exactly how I hoped it would and makes the drill press a safer machine. It's quick and easy to set which I reckon makes it a winner. If something is easy to use then it will get used.
Hopefully it inspires you to make one for yourself. If you do, there would be many ways to do it, not just by machining. You could fabricate one or even make one out of wood.
As always I'm happy to answer any questions.

I'd recommend pure alcohol/ethanol as a coolant/lube for aluminium. WD-40 isn't the best for it.

@@stephensmith8756 @@stephensmith8756 never tried that. On fully enclosed milling centers we use an high tech emulsion and even there, in small threat holes, we use ethanol for aluminium. In steel or stainless we use a thick cutting oil. For cutting aluminium on an open milling machine or drill press ethanol is best.

The use of the shoe to translate ring clamping force into rod clamping is genius. Very well done sir!

@RichardMerrill3Hawk Жыл бұрын

That's what struck me too -- the shoe solves the problem, and it's completely hidden too!

@nickcody7257 Жыл бұрын

I also like how it clamps to the rod and stand with a single clamp action. The only thing I slightly question is needing a shoe, it seems like the rod hole could intersect the main center hole and clamp directly against the stand. It would be a much smaller surface area but the force would be more focused, for what is needed seems like it would still suffice for holding. Either way its a great device.

As a refinement to this design, you could put a slight angle, maybe 1 or 2 degrees to the hole in the clamp for the rod angled down toward the drill table. So when you tighten down the clamp, the rod would push down on the vice holding it in position.
