    I've been happy with my drill press table for 17 years. Then I watched this.

  • @jack5402
    @jack5402 2 ปีที่แล้ว +77

    It's hard to find anything new in builds that hasn't been done dozens of times, but I've never seen anyone embed magnets to prevent bits from rolling off a work surface before, and that's something that you can use in other situations too. Nice build overall, extra kudos for the magnet trick.

      Looking at the picture i reminded me of a router table… could be double function

    • @paulkolodner2445

      I glued some magnets to the underside of the top surface of my stepladder for the same purpose.

    Love your work. I came here to TH-cam today to find a solution to my sad and sorry vertical drill press that was a hand-me-down from my deceased dad. I'm going to SO enjoy making this and give new life to his press.

  • @jewdd1989
    @jewdd1989 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    By far the best drill press mount I’ve seen. I love the magnets hidden under the Formica not to mention the ease of cleaning and the storage you built for the drill press itself is so smart. Thanks and look forward to more shop builds like this

    I just inherited an old beat up table top drill press. Now I know how to bring it back to life! Thank-you!

  • @gundamblaster5889
    @gundamblaster5889 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I think my favorite feature is the table extension. I really like the amount of detail you have added which is the lament edge and surface of the plywood, and an adjustable metal bar for making straight drills and making sure the piece of wood will not go anywhere. Thank you so much for the inspiration. Especially for me since I am just beginning my DIY journey

    • @MWAWoodworks
      @MWAWoodworks  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

  • @ederorellana9919

  • @ederorellana9919
    @ederorellana9919 ปีที่แล้ว

    I built my drill press cabinet following your lead in this video. I’m proud to say that it looks great and it’s much more convenient to have all the bits in the drawers. Thank you for sharing.

    The drawer front installation tip alone made this video worth watching.

  • @danield954
    @danield954 2 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I really like the magnet under the table for bits falling off. An upgrade I did to my drill press that you did not mention is converting it to a variable speed without changing belt positions. I did this by repowering the drill press with an old treadmill motor and controller.

    • @FixitFreeman

  • @JonasRabbe

    Came across this from the algorithm, and I just wanted to say that I’m loving your style of video. The narration is super helpful, and your attention to detail is wonderful. Since I am in the progress of making a drill press table myself, it was a very timely video to watch as well.

  • @cnctroubleshooting9052
    @cnctroubleshooting9052 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Wow… just…wow… you solved problems I didn’t realize I had. Favorite hack is undoubtedly the sacrificial off-center circular plate (12:20) in the center of the table that you can rotate to get a new drilling area when you need it to eliminate blow out on the back side of your work piece.
    Nice work

  • @marvindavidson5103
    @marvindavidson5103 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Great video. I loved the ideas, the pace, the camerawork and the build itself. The bit-catching magnet idea was genius. I've upgraded my full-height drill press in a whole different way, using specialized milk crates. Mine is practical, but yours is practical and beautiful! Thank you.

  • @David-hm9ic
    @David-hm9ic 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    While I thought all of the drill press upgrades were worthwhile, your dust collection solution is my favorite. Simple and effective!

  • @lambdaguy77
    @lambdaguy77 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I started witching this because I thought it was going to be about drill jigs. I stayed because this is a really great build, and I really need to get to work building a drill press station like yours for mine. Thank you!

  • @andyjame5608
    @andyjame5608 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +22

    This press has worked like a charm for my projects th-cam.com/users/postUgkxajoEbapTfqWaadnqb04h6U576yxXp-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!!

  • @AngieWilliamsDesigns
    @AngieWilliamsDesigns ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Yep. I find this super useful. This is on my list. I have a floor model drill press. It’s old and has some issues. I’ve been “storing” it for a friend for about 10 years now. I’ve wanted to switch to a small counter model like yours. Tomorrow my friend is bring me hers and this is what I plan to do. This may end up being my first cabinet build for the shop. I can already see how great it will be to get all my bits in one place. I laughed when you talked about having to get your box of bits out, open it and then go back to the drill. I only laugh because that’s pretty much what I do and I get annoyed. LOL. That plan bundle is looking better and better.

  • @kenday7942
    @kenday7942 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Very nice job - not only a good presentation for drill press, your building techniques are really down to earth and effective and your presentation is easy to follow. And you don’t waste a lot of time but you explain things as you go along. There was a lot of little things in here that can be taken from this and applied to other things in the shop. All in all, an excellent presentation and and a very nice looking and well thought out project.

  • @GaryLundgrenCrafts

  • @jayblanchard4477
    @jayblanchard4477 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I love these add-ons and I am inspired to upgrade my drill press cabinet now, especially the table. I love the dust collection addition, but I am thinking about attaching the strap to the block with a t-nut that can be positioned in the t-track. No extra hole in the table and the position can be moved to either track.

  • @HyperactiveNeuron
    @HyperactiveNeuron 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    This is awesome. I love your design for every part. The magnets are a stroke of genius. Easily the best part. I built a similar table a couple of years ago using melamine which didn't hold up as well as I had hoped. I used an 80/20 extrusion for a fence too. Best decision. Now I think I need to rebuilt it and definitely add the magnets. Awesome project 🍻

    • @MWAWoodworks
      @MWAWoodworks  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The 80/20 is the best. I have it all over my shop

  • @JustinShaedo
    @JustinShaedo ปีที่แล้ว +1
