Drill Press Cabinet

I think it will be great, I’ve a drill press myself that needs a home and you’ve given me something to think about.

-- If you say 'It's good enough', it probably isn't.

Looks like it’ll work just fine. Nice job.

Thanks for reminding me, that’s another item on my ‘hubbydo’ list. I was thinking of something along the same lines, support plus storage.

-- I can so I wood but why are my learning curves always circles

Yes this is EXACTLY what I need to get the Death Star fully operational. Well … maybe 10% operational. Oh yea I’ve decided to name my shop “The Death Star”.

I did the same thing myself, in fact I am putting my bandsaw, thickness planer and belt sander on similar cabinets.
I have a small shop so I cannot have my tools in set positions. To get around this I added castors underneath the cabinets so that they can be pulled out for use and stowed again afterwards

This cabinet looks great, I just took the legs off of my Jet tablesaw and did a similar cabinet. You will love it!

Nice cabinet. I have a Delta drill press of similar size that is bolted to an old rusty AV cart. I may have consider upgrading to a nice cabinet like yours.

I have several tools on rolling cabinets in my limited-space garage shop. Mine are adaptations of a plan that was published in Wood Magazine a few years ago, and the tools themselves are mounted on interchangeable tops that allow me to use more than one tool on a cabinet. They stack in a storage cabinet that is also on casters. I couldn’t do without my movable cabinets. Yours is much finer than mine. I just went with functional dimensional lumber with hardboard panels and MDF doors. Great job on yours. I’m sure you’ll get great use out of it.

are you kiddin me?! i have the same drill press that i got for christmas! mines at the end of the bench. they run great!

-- ---ray suppan--- anger + woodworking = -finger AHHHHHHHH!!!!

Man, oh, MAN, am I a lazy slug.

I stuck mine on a HF shop tool stand (about $29).

Oh, it works just fine, but … yours is a far better looking solution, and … you made it!

Nice job!

Great job Tom, I need to do the same. Hey Phil, can you tell me which issue of Wood you used to build yours?
