Hello all,
By popular demand - (well two requests
) here is a picture of my drill press table with a note of the items I purchased to make it.
I made the table out of an old kitchen cabinet door, which was stable and had a durable flat surface.
I used some Incra T-track and made a trench for these to fit in. The balance of the 3ft length of T - track made the fence. A bit shorter than ideal but reasonable.
The fence is attatched to the T-track using a pair of woodpecker track locks. ($25)
The fence also holds two woodpecker flip stops, which are very handy. ($25)
Finally, on the accessory front I have two woodpecker hold down clamps. ($15)
Roger at the "Wood workers workshop" supplied the T-track (1/4") at approx £12 a length. I think Roger can get most of these items. I purchased from America as my brother was there on holiday and he collected the items . Saving postage and duty. :wink:
I also used two plastic knobs to attach the table to the drill press. These were 50p each.
Total cost for the accessories about £45.
The table has a removable disposable insert which when removed enables the drill to be fitted with sanding attachments. (home made bobbin type sander)
I made the table to fit my small workshop, and of course this could be any size to suit. I have seen a table with folding wings a good idea, and also with a round insert which is better as this can be turned to have a longer life.
Hope this information is useful.
Cheers, Tony.
