Not much story just finished this table for the small drill press. Modified some designs from many examples in the trade mags. All of them discribed an evaning project i.e. about 4 hours. it only took me 7 days. Not vary perttity but finaly done.
I will more than likely change it after working on for a while.

Very nice. I am sure you will modify it after using it. The precision you have shown takes more time that most magazine “shops” that give the finishing times.
Well done project. I am sure you will enjoy it very much!
God Bless,

This is great. I really need to make one like this. So cool how it matches your blue drill press!

This is a nice project. I need to add a table like this to mine as well. I like the thickness of your table.
I assume that you built the table similar to a small torsion box?

Yes it is a torsion box table wrapped in aromatic cedar and robbed with past wax (sort of defeats the aromatic part but they were just near by). Some old paneling for the bottom, hard rock maple for the fence T-track from a rocker sale and 3/4 plywood for something to have the screws bite into. The maple was an old desk’s drawer front.

RCT,
First- Welcome aboard to another Virginian.
Second- Great looking project. I need to build something like this for my small drill press. I like the idea of the T-track, been toying around with installing some of that into my workbench to help with clamping and hold down.
Look forward to additional projects.

Nice table, I also made one for my drill press I love it and with the hold downs working with it is much safer. Thanks for sharing and show us any changes or modifications.

Looks like a great accessory, & well constructed. When I first looked at the small pictures, I couldn’t see how the
table tilted, but I see how you did it in the bigger picture.
Also Welcome to LJs.

First, Welcome!
Second, nice job and great use of materials you had on hand. How did you secure it to the round drill press table?

You should find the table very useful with your drill press. Makes life much easier and more accurate.
