Drill Press table

Nice job! I really like the attachment method for the table. Simple but effective : )

Thanks for posting the details, along with the pictures of the underside. That’s a great method for holding it in place! I will definitely be taking at least one idea from this project once I begin construction on my drill press table.

Thanks for posting! Your pictures are worth several thousand words. Got it on my to-do list.

Nice table. Seems to stick out farther than most I have seen. Any particular reason for this?

-- If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail!

The perspective of the first photo does make it look like it sticks out. I actually like the extra area for working with the different project pieces. Also the clamping scheme to the metal base is solid so no wiggle at all.

Cool table. Any chance we can get a pic with a better shot of the DP220?

That is one seriously deep drill press table! Great work…

Greetings Waxman,

Stellar job on the table. These are one of the most useful items you can have on a drill press. From the pixs it looks like the table is compatable with the drill. The way you designed it makes quick removal a breeze when you do need to remove it, if at all.

Nice job on the table : )
Is the drill press the same vintage as your pick-up truck ?

-- When did quiet and quite become the same word ? I'm guessing about the same time as your and you're did.

Very functional and helps you be safe. I like the antique Chevy truck in the back ground to.

very nice job. where did you get the woodpecker t-tracks, and the adjustment knobs?

Well done a great table

Question on the vintage of the drill and the truck. I believe the drill was built around 1945. I inherited it from my father in law when he passed away last year. It is in almost new condition and runs like a champ. I added a photo of the drill without the table.

The truck (another hobby) in the second photo is a 1957 Chevy stepside w/ large rear window. Currently has a 327 with a 350 turbo automatic. Air conditioning provided by the wing windows. Great for hauling wood from the cash and carry.

Question on the t-tracks and knobs. I bought the tracks from Craftsman Supply Center in Tampa while I was visiting my daughter (awesome wood supply shop!). Bought the knobs from Rockler.
