4/13/2019 USA Grandpa Bill One of the very best things about KZfaq is our collective ability to build on each others' ideas. I don't know how many times I've built something only to later "see" something better. Humility, along with builder's pride, has been an asset to my adventures. I admire this plan, and I can adapt it to even a small drill press.

I just finished this project and am very happy with it. I modified a few things. First I didn't run the t track all the way to the back of the table where it will be almost of no use except for extremely large pieces where the fence needs to be removed. I used this extra track and installed two additional t track roughly a half inch clear on either side of the replaceable insert. This makes clamping smaller pieces much easier. I use these almost all the time compared to the outer tracks. Second I wrapped the other side of the column with the table. Not sure why you guys didn't as well. I drastically enlarged the recess and added another recess on the other side. I use them constantly. Lastly I reduced the width of the thru slots to 3/4" to accomodate Kreg auto clamps. They work extremely well when a lot of holding force is required. I don't like asking the t track to supply this force as the screws/t track could be weakened. Also I made two fence stops for right/left repeatability. Thank you Woodsmith for this build. The crank idea is awesome.

Forgot to mention that I used the steel raising/lowering crank handle for the locking handle. Just drilled it out to fit the the 5/8" shaft, and made a crank handle for the raising/lowering to try and save some money.

Great job. That twin gear assembling to adjust height is very impressive - much nicer adjusting than mine; looks challenging to fit/tweak. I like the idea of the hole to allow a bar clamp (instead of torquing on the t-slots on mine), tho I think I'd make a filler cap so small parts don't fall through when I'm not using clamps. I made a split fence for my drill press table w/dust collection & attached a dedicatd 5 gallon bucket vac that works great.

This press has worked like a charm for my projects kzfaq.infoUgkxajoEbapTfqWaadnqb04h6U576yxXp-FE . I didn't even secure it to my table top, mainly due to the fact that I was using a 15 lbs drill vise. It's not flimsy at all as to what others have claimed it to be. Make sure the locking nuts and levers are secured and there won't be any issues with light pressure and patience. I was able to drill through aluminum, plastic, and steel (steel took a while) with no problems at all. Yeah it took a little longer than a regular drill press, but I don't have the space OR the money for one.The instruction manual was worthless, but luckily assembling the press was intuitive. However, the manual would be good for ordering replacement parts if needed. There is a nice breakdown of the parts that are included in the kit. Before ordering, make sure it is compatible with your unit, it is clearly stated what models the press is compatible with.This was an excellent purchase for $40!!

Great addition to a drill press. Think the clamping should be a bit closer to the drill though. Usually use clamps on smaller work pieces and you have the clamps so far out they may not reach the smaller jobs.

You are kind of limited how close you can get those clamp cutouts to the center of the table by drill press’s stock metal table underneath, but you are correct about clamping small pieces. We’ll have to come up with a good solution for that.

I just built this and love it!. I added six modifications from the comments. Thanks to everyone here! 1) Added T track inside the clamp passthroughs for small part hold down 2) Added T track to the bottom surface. This lets me move the table around and easy to mount/unmount if I need to tilt the table 3) On the left rear wing, I added magnets in the tray. 4) I kept the wing on the right side. Added a matrix of 1/2" vertical storage slots (using 1/8" hard board) for stuff I use a lot and a block with holes in it 5) Added a T track to the top of the fence with a sliding rule in it. Can home it to the stop block or bit and for a flip style stop block 6) I cut a small panel that I put on the bottom when I mount it (to the underside track in #2) so that through clamps have a flat surface to press against. Thanks for the inspiration. Best drill press table ever!

I bought a Jet 15" bench top drill press (JDP-15B) and would love to get your plans and integrate this table, but I'm not sure if the height of your table itself (and the crank handles) would end up restricting the distance I can put between the tip of the drill bit and the table. Follow? Also, before I take the big $10 plunge :-) - how difficult might it be for me to find and incorporate the crank bars needed for my specific Jet drill press? Thanks!

This is fine for some woodworking applications where you don’t need high level precision. I work with wood and metal and prefer an XY milling slide table. You can just slide on a wood table with a fence onto the T Track. The milling table is accurate to a thousandth of an inch with zero play so if want exact holes in line all you have to do is turn the axis wheel

@paulwittlock937 3 жыл бұрын

It's a great idea, but I was thinking that you could never tilt your table (not that many people do) because the gears would disengage and the clamp shaft would come out of alignment. That would need some kind of u-joint and the height crank would have to go to the rear, instead of attaching to the table itself. But then how do you support it at the back of the table? I still really like this design, though!

@WoodsmithShowandmagazine 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah, that is one downfall to this design. You would have to disengage the connecting rods to tilt the table. Personally, I find that I don't need to tilt my drill press table very often, but when I do need to make angled holes I have a separate jig for that.

I have a Ridgit floor model, and the bolt has stripped out because it had to be cranked down so much to prevent the table from moving. So now there is a nut and bolt squeezing it tight. This is just what happened to mine, it may not be the case with yours. I'm just sharing the unsatisfying experience with the Ridgid.

Hmmm... we've used several different types and brands of drill presses over the years and never had a problem tightening down the locking nut. Usually it takes very little effort, so I'm guessing this might be limited to your model. I can check around though.

Where do you get the gears for height adjustment handle

So, a question regarding the slide clamping mechanism and the front height adjust mechanism: How does this work if you have to tilt the table to some angle other than 90 degrees to the quill? Do you have to remove the table and if so, how do you quickly replace the cranks for locking and height with the original mechanism? Otherwise the table looks really handy. I does need a setup for dust collection, though.

Hi David, I’ve got a very small workshop, and had a similar need, and my setup is too small for vacuum ducting to each device. But in addition to my shop vac, i also had a good but surplus cyclonic vacuum that i mounted under my workshop bench (in the space behind the beer fridge) so I brought the hose of the cyclonic vacuum up from under my work table & looped the hose over & back down, & i added the original upholstery nozzle, so that it collects most of the dust as I’m working without having to touch it. Without wanting to detract from the OP’s solution, I built a different drill press table & a couple of alternative features on video for those with smaller workshops, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rrJkh8p0m96Ylpc.html. (though I hadn’t yet got to your other challenge of tilt adjustment). Daniel

I have to admit I don't think this design would be very convenient if you do a lot of angle drilling. To be honest, I can probably count on one hand the times I've tilted my table for drilling. Usually when I need to drill and angled hole I end up using some sort of shop made jig rather than trying to tilt the table back and forth. That's just personal preference though. We have made a few drill press tables over the years with dust collection, but have seemed to neglect it on this one.

@@startupfoundation4079 Thanks, Daniel. I like your idea, but I actually have a vacuum setup on my DP. The big challenge is that I do a lot of angle drilling and need the ability to make those adjustments. One other thing that I have had to contend with is centering the whole setup. First I had to ensure that I could locate center of the quill against the post that holds the head. Then, it became apparent that when I rotate the table to the desired angle, center was no longer in line with that center line. But, so long as I am able to be certain of the centerline, I can now determine how much the table has rotated off that centerline so as to ensure I get the quill to land exactly where I need it to land. The process was a bit tedious and fussy , but having done the work, I have a far better understanding of the tolerances I am working with. As a result, I inch towards greater accuracy with each project. And with the accuracy comes greater confidence and enjoyment. Take a look at my site: Keebercustomwoodcraft.com. Thanks for chiming in on this thread.
