LOVE practical advice like this. It's like having an experienced neighbor/mentor who's "been there, don't that," so I don't have to. I wish you were my neighbor - I think if avoid a lot of frustration learning things the hard way. Keep on keepin' on!

I like these little trick fixes! There are many different configurations of drill press tables and each one needs its own hold down solution. Good job here.

Perfect! Just bought a new drill press vice and was scratching my head today how to solve the problem that you just explained. Thank you!! Your solution is perfect.

@AlecPeirceAtTheRanch 10 месяцев назад

@grumpyone5963 9 месяцев назад

I would clamp or bolt a piece of angle iron across the back of the bed. Then twist your vice up against it.

Alec, EXCELLENT idea - thank you. And since my vice didn't have a ledge nearby, I couldn't grind a flat that would do any good. But the vice had a slotted hole like yours does. So I took a large area washer (as you did) and cut two grooves from the outside, about half way through, making a tab. Then I bent the tab down and it fits perfectly into the slot. Works great. Thank you for making me think of it.

I'm sitting here with a black thumbnail,because I did not use a vise when using my drill press to bore a hole into end grain on a wood block, so your idea is a dandy and I will use it. Thanks Alec!

Done that, sadly several times before using this lock-down method. A

@owenmougenot712 4 года назад

Hi Alec. I find a large "C" type vice grip works well for holding larger pieces to the table. vices are better for small stuff. Also be careful of drilling plastic without clamping as the drill can pull in deep very fast and spin the piece out of control. take care Owen m

@AlecPeirceAtTheRanch 4 года назад

Good points Owen. My issue with C clamps is sometimes the strength to clamp and release it. With a wing nut I can usually hand tight it well or use a wrench to super tighten it.

@BrokenRRT 2 года назад

I fixed this issue by using 2 wing nuts and threaded stock. Got the idea from watching a guy tighten his small 2hp outboard tender motor the the transom of inflatable dingy.

@AlecPeirceAtTheRanch 2 года назад

That works too!

@dustycarter2729 3 года назад

Great tip, I inherited my drill press and it's missing a table. Only have the steel base. I do have a 4" vice clamp. Any ideas?

@AlecPeirceAtTheRanch 3 года назад

Hi Dusty. A table is needed to bolt, clamp, or secure whatever is holding the material. If the drill press if reasonably current (e.g. not WW2 surplus), Google the make and model and search for a replacement. If it's a good setup, it can last many more years. Hope this helps some and drill safe.

@davids7550 4 года назад

I use a cross vice. Don't have to move it around a lot and precise. I also tend to use those 1/2 vice grip clamps that bolt to the table. Quick, easy, and powerful. Can you see Neowise OK from there? Too many lights here.

@AlecPeirceAtTheRanch 4 года назад

Thanks for sharing your solution David. Alec

@arbit3r 2 года назад

Got rid of my vice altogether and just started using c clamp mole grips. Takes seconds to setup and you can go from small to large work pieces in seconds.

@AlecPeirceAtTheRanch 2 года назад

That's a good idea too. A.

A quick release from a bicycle seat post clamp is a faster solution

@grumpyone5963 9 месяцев назад

Or just bolt a piece of angle iron across the back of your drill press bed and turn the vice up against it. I’m a fabricator! Works best if you have a square bed.

Welding with steel rods, brazing with brass rods. Both are done with welding equipment, so saying "welding" is OK 😊

Brazing. Also known as "gas welding" in many parts of the world. You should get out a little more, eh

The drill press. Perhaps the most dangerous machine there is. Why? Because everyone thinks they can operate one. They don't see the dangers nor take the steps for safety.
