![⚡[DIY] Just the perfect drill press table / woodworking](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/zBrgcXnROHQ/mqdefault.jpg)
As woodworkers, we are so used to dealing with fences that must be square to a PLANE, such as a table saw rip fence or cross cut sled, that we forget that a drill press fence only needs to keep any given point on a work piece a set distance from a single point-- the chuck. This table design is a revelation in its simplicity. Thank you!
Really liked the overall quality of the unit th-cam.com/users/postUgkxajoEbapTfqWaadnqb04h6U576yxXp-FE . No, it's not a professional level drill press. I bought this product for one reason and one reason only: it adds value to a product I already have (a dremel tool).I was able to use this tool to secure my dremel. Dremel owners and users probably can sympathize that often holding your oddly shaped (and sometimes fragile) workpiece and the dremel at the same time can be cumbersome. This completely eliminates the need to hold the dremel, which is a huge overall improvement to control.I would consider this a must have for anyone who regularly uses a dremel.
Thanks for professional ideas, workmanship, instruction, and top quality audiovisual production
Brilliant ideas having the sliding hardboard insert, and that jig for installing the threaded inserts. I am definitely building this for my drill press. Thank you for the great video!
Thanks for the tips. You made the installation of the inserts a complete doddle. Just bought a plunge router as well. Table top for my drill press is now my next project. Well presented. Subscribed and liked. Again thankyou.
Yall just blew my mind. Why did I never think to add a table to my drill press??? Making this for sure!
I loved the insert setter. Thanks
it is almost 10PM and I can hardly wait for daylight to begin this project. Thank you for a very detailed description.
Good luck! :)
This is the best functional Drill Press Table tutorial I have seen. I am very impressed. It is is very lucidly put and the instructions are immaculate, the comments short and to the point. Thank you for the free plans. Great work and keep it up!!!!!
Thanks for the kind words... We''ll keep the videos coming!
@@WoodsmithShowandmagazine my dad would love your videos. I really enjoy them,also.
Another brilliant guys. Very detailed instructions with the highest level of professionalism. I have delayed building a table for my drill press until now. Thank you for the know how and inspiration. Love the videos you present us.
Really good video. Another option for the threaded insert installation block is to just use the drill press chuck.
I'm in the middle of making this. Easy and will be extremely useful. Everything I do requires a lot of planning (I'm pretty new to this), but this is a GREAT video. Thanks.
Great description and clear video work. Excellent step by step presentation and a great idea for a practical fence. Thank you very much. Neat idea for installing the threaded insert.
What a quality production. You chaps are pure professionals.
A neat shop is the sign of a sick mind!!!
Totally agree! Our shop looks pretty neat and clean, as long as you can't see outside the camera's view. ;)
Greetings to all the Woodsmith shop workers, I sure enjoy watching your illustration videos. Your project plans are easy and
simple to follow. I admired your skillful talents. I used to do a lot of woodworking for over 30 yrs. Guys, keep up with the
good work. 👍🙂
TY for a fine presentation. I still use the drill press on my Dad's Shop Smith which is 80+ years old and going strong.
That’s awesome - they just don’t make them like they used to ;)
Nicely done. Doesn’t seem too difficult.
Yeah, that insert installation technique is simple, yet genius! Everything else is just as thought out and simple as well. I’m sure most all of us can appreciate this Jig for our shop drill press. Thank you for sharing and keep them coming! Aloha
I don't get it - when i try to screw the insert down, the bolt just threads deeper into the nut and insert. does the nut need to be glued in place?
So many videos from across the pond are long and drawn out, but not this one, perfect it’s to the point and concise well done I will subscribe
Excellent video and I like the simplicity of the design. Thanks for producing this video.
Thanks for watching! :)
Excellent video start to finish. Beautiful production, and all of the steps are clearly explained and demonstrated. This fence is exactly what I need for my hobby shop. Thanks for the great content!! Subscribed.
I never even considered this design. This is really helpful. Thanks!
Cool project... nicely done. Thanks for the video sharing your skills to others like me.
Very informative ! and knowledge is a awesome tool in its self.. Thank You Gentlemen !
Great video!!! No terrible back round music , slow enough to keep up , Bravo!!!
Maybe a little too slow at times?
i made the same table and fence in real time and still had 5 mins of this vid left to watch HAHA!
No seriously though, was a good informative video! thanks Woodsmith.
I agree completely
Professionally made and presented howto, congratulations. I mostly work with metal and the same issue of a chewed out spot occurs. Your design has features I definitely want to include, I simply need to seal the ply effectively or make the replaceable strip from aluminium the same thickness.
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks - let us know how the modified build goes.
Very nice job guys
You got a thumbs up for the threaded insert install tip!
Thanks!
Well thought out drill press table. Nicely done video.Easy to follow. Thank You.
Glad you liked it
Great video! I need to make one for my new drill press.
Great 👍 video! Thanks for the information!
What a great tutorial! Thanks for sharing all of these really helpful ideas.
Thanks for watching... Glad you enjoyed it!
i purchased a incra 1000hd and it is just fantastic also bribed the boss into a i box now to get well to use them
Thanks! So easy! and practical.
Well when can you make me one?
These wood work magazine shops are the cleanest neatest I have seen. No money spared on fancy wood either.
Thanks, We try to at least keep the area you see on camera looking nice. :)
This is exactly what I'm looking for thanks so much. You guys do the best work and videos.
Glad to help!
am so happy that you are now on utube i watch every one and they go with my books
Very good video.Well presented. I see another project in the very near future. Thanks
This a a very handy table. I made it and have used for some time now. Do not let the simplicity of it fool you, it has become a permanent fixture in my shop. I would like to see some additional fixtures for the table saw and the router table. I always struggle getting picture frames built square and with a good fit. Maybe you have something that would help with that?
Really great video. Loved the clear attention to detail. Good for beginners like myself, who's just bought a table drill press last week, and very much ready to create this accessory!
Thank you!
Great Job Guy's... Now, i need to go buy me some new lumber, and remove my old one and build one like this, Your swing arm moves the piece away from the back stop and removable center section puts this table up on the top shelf.nicely done... Nice video, See ya
Thanks for the kind words! :)
Very good video. Picked up a few tips I never though about in it. Thanks
Great - Thanks for watching!
Very nicely done! I'm looking forward to making one, as well as the Insert setting jig. Thanks!
Great! Let us know how they go.
the insert jig was superb
Brilliant!!! I can not believe it! Really thank you!
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching! :)
That trick for perfectly square threaded inserts is just excellent! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
The tip for inserting the threaded insert would also be a great way to guide a hand held drill on jobs where the drill press is not convenient. Also great for keeping a thread tap square.
These men are a class act!
Thanks!
Amazing idea.
Cool, thanks for the tip.
So many great tips in one video!
Thanks!
Excellent videos professionally filmed. Everything explained and shown. And no music! Thanks. Bravo.
Thanks!
@@WoodsmithShowandmagazine
You have a new fan. I'll spend the next few days watching the rest of your videos. That is a beautiful shop. I'm so jealous ! You must have a great cleaning lady come in every day!
James Keyes - LOL, we just keep moving all the clutter off camera. 😀
nice idea
One of the best tutorial videos on TH-cam. Thanks.
Thanks for the kind words! We'll keep cranking out the videos. :)
Clean, concise and informative. Nice job. I wil be back!
Thanks!
WOW that insert jig is really cool. I'm glad I stayed till the end. Thanks
Yeah, I love that jig... here is a video on how it was put together: th-cam.com/video/PkLYRWnKs80/w-d-xo.html
One of three shop projects I built straight off the show! I love this table. And I think the swivel fence is 10x better than a two track linear. 👍
I agree... I like that the through slot doesn't get gummed up with wood chips like t-track often will too.
Just Curious - What were the other projects you've built from the show?
Woodsmith I built the table saw outfeed table and the mobile cutoff cart. The cart was great except the casters I used from rockler are garbage. The outfeed table might be better à bit deeper but it's been great. The outfeed table was actually the first thing I built when I bought my big boy saw.
Jason Spenny - All very practical and useful projects 👍 Thanks for sharing!
Woodsmith any recommendations for a benchtop drill press stand? I'm thinking of moving from my workmate to on top of a cabinetlike stand of some sort.
Great my friend. Thank so much!
Thanks the kind words. :)
Hi.!
Thank you, very nice small important details description.
Excellent instructional video. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
great teacher, I love to learn.
please make more video
Thanks! We will keep the videos coming.
Going to finish mine today, and I love it already!
Hope you enjoy it!
@@WoodsmithShowandmagazine I was wondering how you bolted the sliding part of the adjustable fence? Really enjoyed the video and I will be replacing the top of my drill press table.
Very professional video, thank you.
Thanks for the kind words. :)
I just checked online and I understand the difference between hardboard and MDF. No need to reply. Thanks for a great video.
Sounds good. Thanks for watching.
Personally I would use MDF or even plywood for the top layer,. It's more durable than hardboard and you'll struggle to find 1/4" (6mm) hardboard.
I love your videos so accurate
Excellent. Thank you for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks
Another professional project. Thanks 4 sharing!
As always, GREAT !!
I like the dovetail slot for the sacrifice board. I did this to the fence on my route so I could install zero clearance inserts. I made up a number of insert blanks at the same time. When ready to profile the insert I first set route bit to proper height then pivot the fence through the cutter. This insert also becomes a perfect height setup guide the next time you need this profile.
That's a great idea! We've done similar replaceable inserts on sleds and jigs, but hadn't thought of doing this on a router fence.
Cool project and that master-level tip at 30:20 is awesome!
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful!
Thank for the help
You're welcome. :)
I Like it I am very impressed
I have struggled for years wondering why a new drill press table which is substantially different from the last iteration always have to be built in demos like yours. Back fifteen years ago or more you built a remarkable drill press bench which I built. How ever I added dust collection on the table top without the need of vacuum hoses hanging attached in some awkward way. I built 6 inch round hardboard sacrificial backer boards for drilling clean holes on the bottom side. Some of the backer boards have centered 2, 3, 4 inch dia holes to accommodate sanding drums. The table slide left to right to use all of the area of the sacrificial backer boards before I use the backsides. I am grateful for the great drill press table you enabled me to build. Thanks.
That's great to hear... I'm glad that you were able to build one of our drill press tables that is still going strong after 15 years of service in your shop!
A cheap drill press commonly available is fine for drilling, but the chuck bearings are not built to take large side loads. It's not a milling machine. :)
It would be far better to use the press to make a plywood drum sander case powered by a washing machine motor.
I like the ideas here!
Have you thought about adding some integrated clamps to this Table?
Great idea ... we have video coming up showing how to make some shop-built hold downs for the drill press. We also have some other drill press plans here: www.woodsmithplans.com/category/drill-press-tables/ that may have some integrated clamps, as well.
Great vid, made this but rather than the sliding centre piece I made several wooden disc 5 " dia and set them in a counterbored hole, they can be cut by the dozen easily with a hole cutter that matches the counterbore. they have never fallen out in use. I still tend to use a sacrificial board as old habits die hard.
Thanks for the very helpful methods. I went a step further than subscibing to your channel; I subscribed to your magazine.
That squaring block for inserting those threaded inserts rocks.
Thank you...very much..
Excellent 👍 just what I needed, even though I use my press 4 Leather working. Thank you.✝️⚾🙃
You’re welcome and thanks for watching!
Terrific project - can't wait to make one! I think the only thing I'll add is a slot in the fence so that I can integrate a stop block. Clamping stop blocks gets old fast...
also, would love to know more about the setup blocks you keep around the shop! I'm always dangling things over corners to clamp them, can't believe i haven't taken the time to make standoffs/setup blocks yet. looks like yours have a few features that might be valuable to understand more about (like the little feet to butt work up against, the height you use, and any other unseen advantages they have!)
This drill press table is a great place to start, but we have several other designs that have more features too. You can find those here: www.woodsmithplans.com/category/drill-press-tables/ You should be able to borrow a few ideas from these. My favorite is the "Woodworking Drill Press Table"
I think that you have a great video idea regarding the setup blocks... I think we should shoot a video going in to that topic with a little more detail.
@@WoodsmithShowandmagazine so will you guys be doing that setup block video any time soon? :)
APPRECIATE THE STEP BY STEP TO THE POINT EXPLAINING DO U HAVE MORE PROJECTS
Great video
Thanks!
Very nice job I like your show like always smashing my like botton kaboooooom
Great nut insert jig👍👍👍
Excellent video. Nice detail but kept a slower pace. Very easy for a sub par novice like me.
Excelente
Great vid! Thanks from Gremany :)
Thanks for watching!
The videos are great but on the fence I don`t like a groove for dust to catch, cut fence longer & put the clamp to both ends of the fence but that is just me. the idea is great so I think I`ll build it thanks
Great video!
Thanks!
Excellent!
Glad you liked it!
good vid ty
Thanks!
A great video. A big help. Thanks.
Thanks for watching.
@@WoodsmithShowandmagazine- I built this top for my drill press. I am very happy with it. Thanks.
@@harrydavis6903 - That is great to hear! Our table has served us well too, but we're looking to another drill press table video soon,.
I would round the front corners of the table top.
Great video. Very practical. Q: Why not just use the middle insert to mark your lines?
Very good commentary.
Thank you kindly!
Another option router out the middle of the bottom piece add bevels to the two edges and slide in a middle section with bevels in opposite direction
Hi,
Nice job and well presented. Two thoughts:
1. When routing the slot, I would have put a stopper block at the end hole so I didn't over / under shoot the routing of the hole. I find it easier than trying to eyeball my stopping point.
2. I notice you didn't check the fence was at right angles to the fence base. Your dado cutter loos pretty accurate but I would probably have run a set square across the fence while gluing / clamping it. We do a lot of projects where knowing the fence we are holding work against is at right angles to the table saves us a lot of grief.
Again, nice job. My first view of your videos - I'm sure there will be more
Great points... I always like to use stops when routing slots, as well, for the reason you mentioned. It is also a good idea to check the fence for square when you are assembling it. Plus, I would check it for square from time to time after using it for a while to make sure something hasn't shifted. I've been burned a few times when I've assumed a fence was square only to find out later it wasn't :(
Simple yet beautifully effective. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it - Thanks for watching!
30:41 Bryan said *square* - but what he really wanted to say is *perpendicular* .
32:28 And now - ladies & gentlemen - in the next two or three hours, *Bryan* is gonna make a stopping block, for repeatable cuts of highest precision.
No - seriously guys: that was a nice video. Thumbs up.
Superb video. May I suggest: no need to waste wood and double sided tape on backing when cutting the slot. Just go half way through from each side by flipping it over.
Thanks for the tip. 👍
