Drill Press Table Build 

Wish I could find some decent baltic birch ply without it costing me a mortgage payment

I think I'm going to redo mine! You inspire me with your idea on how to install it on your drill press. Oh and thank you so much for that shout out man! That was a nice surprise when i heard my name!

First time watching your Channel. Great video! Not only was it well thought-out and well-presented, but it was great to see a fellow left-handed woodworker at work. As a relatively new woodworker, I sometimes struggle figuring out how to use right-handed tools. Now I have someone I can look to for demonstrations!

I use a coupler nut with a bolt on other end to drive hanger bolts. It sort of acts like a nut driver. The head of the depth stop bolt is smaller than the coupler nut itself. Used a coupler with different threads on each half.

Well done. The last 3 I watched were pathetic. I dig the 3 pieces of 3/4 ply for the fence. Sweet! Anything you would change? I'm strongly considering a round insert with the finger holes in the table and not in the insert. Thoughts?

Awesome video! I like the way you attached it to the metal table. I'm gonna use that one when I build a new drill press table.

Nice addition to the shop! Really like the easy on-off capability and multiple hold downs along with the sacrificial drill point. Beautiful plywood - who is your source?

@1:24 Careful with the shirt dude. It's too baggy and could get caught in the jointer head. Nice build though, very clean.

I’ve seen a few of these drill press upgrade videos but I really like yours the best. Can you please tell me where you got all the hardware and the superglue and accelerator? I have an idea where you got the t-tracks and such, but couldn’t quite hear where you the the glue. Thank you sir, and keep up the good work.

beautiful work! I made one too. It's on my channel.

Very cool, I love how much detail you gave. This has now been added to my to-do list.

Just bought a new drill press and have watched a few videos for the fence I'd like to make in the next few weeks. Yours is, by far, the best. Functional. Attractive. Not too difficult to make. Thanks!

It came out nice, subscribed! If you want more subs, feel free to embed your video on our homemade tools forum; looks like you're one of us :-)

This is one of the smartest drill press table designs/builds I’ve ever seen. Nice!!

very well presented, so cool calm and collected in your presentation, very well done.

Well done! This is exactly what I was thinking of building!

Love how you compensated for the height adjustment by notching and building it up 3/4". Everyone else's design that was an after thought. I will be utilizing your design for my table top. I am considering dovetailed my sacrificial board as a triangular piece that I can slide out. Yours is the best I've seen after watching several videos

🛠 Amazing video brother 😎 I just got my drill dress assembled recently and quickly realized I need a drill press table. I want to make this. Do you have plans for this project that we can purchase from you sir?

Excellent table...working on mine now....what was the size of the notch you cut out of the middle layer of the base to clear the height adjustment crank?

Great table top for the drill press. Good presentation. Looks fairly easy to build. Well thought out. Thanks. Got to build one now. Thanks again!

good video, but check your jointer knives! i learned a long time ago, never edge joint plywood especially the baltic birch stuff. the glue is really tough on the knives

Great video! Clean work. Are these instructions available to download as a pdf?

If you really wanted to make this table the bees knees then you should have motorized the table as I have done for my drill press just press a button to go up and press a button and the table goes down.

How tall is the fence?

Ahh Man! This is the BEST build for a drill press fence I've seen. This is the one I'm going to copy. Thanks.

BELLO E INTERESSANTE VIDEO. BELLA E PULITA REALIZZAZIONE. COMPLIMENTI. SALUTI SALVIO

👍🏻👍🏻

👏👏👏

👍👍

Very clever design in how to align the table each time. I’ve been stuck on how to do this and you showcased such an intuitive approach!

Nice

Lots of helpful tips in here. Thank you!

Dave, what would you charge to make me one! Thanks, Tom

Just ran across your video today. You got a subscriber.

Nice build! I especially like the way you fasten the table to the existing one. Thanks for the video, I will be sure to check out the rest of your channel ✌️

Outstanding project, and great instruction. Thank you for taking the time and effort to produce the video for the rest of us to learn from! Have a nice afternoon!

Very nice video

Nice buikd. I have a Porter Cable drill press, so will modify to fit the table similar to your attachment. Thanks, this is as simple and useful as it gets, and is exactly what I want. Will build mine asap...just gotta get the wood :-)

awesome video! Thanks for sharing!

Awesome build! It was a great source of inspiration. I acutally made one too and posted it on my channel

Very nice, gave me some idea's to make my own. First video I've watched from you, and got me to sub. Now I gotta stop being so lazy and get more video's done myself.

You inspired me. Its all glued up now. Waiting on the t track. It was time to upgrade from the mdf offcuts Ive been using. My wen drill press didnt need a 3rd layer but i did di a small cutout. Thanks.

Nice job. Love the simplistic design. Plan to build something similar, but will probably add a walnut edge to make it pop cuz let face it everyone loves adding walnut. Lol. Also plan to add some kind of holder or dust collection box. Thanks again for some great ideas.

Very nice work. I'm going to try something like this for my drill press. Why are you concerned with being able to easily take the table off? Do you use the drill press for metal work also?

This is the first table I’ve seen with the cast iron guides on it. I really like that idea.

You sir did a fantastic job. I will be building this but on a smaller scale for my smaller drill press. What I really want to compliment you on is how much thought you put into this. Everything you said was completely clear and easily followed. The sacrificial insert is brilliant. More than anything I want to thank you for having the class and decency to make a video that didn’t need vulgar language or clowning around. Far too many people think that the are comedians but just make fools of themselves. I give you 10 out of 10 and look forward to seeing more of your excellent work. Great job my friend. PS. For convenient weights leave your machine where it was and get yourself a supply of weight training plates. They come in different weights and sizes and are not that expensive. Especially the ones you get for free from your friends who gave up trying to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger. 😁

不好用 後背太高 原因用看看就知道 會氣死

Dave, you know that’s my drill press you’ve got there. It’s an excellent little press. Great drill press table!

Nice Dave! If I didn't have a decent table on my drill press already.....

Very Nice. I'm impressed. Thank you

Wonderful craftsmanship - a well thought out project executed beautifully! You video work is also quite excellent. New subscriber here! Looking forward to future project videos. Well done!

How did you counter sink the extra T Track holes given the tight clearance in there? Did you just dial up your drill bit?

nice

clean, straightforward, solid. Nice build!

Very nice, both the build and the video~! I think I've found my next drill press table~! Thanks for sharing.

Your video came up in a search I did for a drill press table, And I am very glad it did. I am a novice and I felt your explanations were clear and easy to follow, So please accept my thanks for that. Your version of the table encompasses everything I believe I am going to need. It’s not over complicated and yet very functional. Looking forward to checking your library of videos real soon. Thanks again, All the best from North London. UK. ✊

Well thought out and executed. It is one of the very best I've seen to date. Cheers

Are written plans available?

Hello Thank you for the cool Video. But I think Baltic birch plywood is the death for the knives of your planer, I think.... I think you habe Dome nics in the knives... I hope u r good at sharpening!! Greetz from Vienna!!

That looks to be a beast of a drill press. Would you mind sharing which model it is?

Nice simple design and execution, I will be building this very soon.

This is simple and cool especially the Fence part Thanks for the project.

Great how to video, it's great motivation to upgrade my 20 min. hillbilly-ed, drill press table.

Very nice design and video. Question, if you were to build another one today after using it for a while, are there any changes you make to the design?

I’ve recently been looking at dozens of different ideas for a drill press table and just seen yours. Without doubt the best I’ve seen (and video) so this is the one for me. Many thanks! (John UK)

Fantastic & practical item to the Woodshop Dave, I was wondering why you were using the glue & it made sense when you explained it & Izzy Swan uses it frequently. This is my next project & I agree Christofix has some brilliant ideas. Cheers buddy 🍻👍👍👍👍

Well thought out project. Explained well showing everything needed without going onto do much detail that it becomes an overly long video. Thanks'

G’day Dave, man such a long time since your last video mate, I hope all is well & looking forwards to hearing from you mate 🍻🍻👍👍👍👍Sumo

This is an excellent video in that it explains the whole process step-by-step, in great clarity. Can you advise whether you made the black push stick you've been using with your table saw?

Nice job, nice presentation.

Thanks for this. I always look forward to your how-to's. Keep 'em coming!

Your projects are getting better and better. That's one awesome drill press table!

Great video! I had to twitch a little when you were grinding over the LP bottle lol.. I really liked your rork bench.

Love it. Very handy to have.

Very nice! I plan to make mine very soon.

Great job - nice design. Using Matchfit Dovetail Clamps with dovetail groves a good alternative and avoids using T-tracks.

where can I find instructions and measures for the construction of this project?

I may have missed it but what was the purpose of the center piece of T track in the table for ? , nice table , especially the adjustable stop block in the fence

Well written, well spoken and well demonstrated. Very much enjoyed!

Great design, thanks

Cool upgrade Dave. I think Dirk is in the middle of building a similar table for his.

Great project, thanks!

Do you have any plans for this drill press table?

Im building this table now :)

This is an excellent tutorial. It has just the right amount of detail - not too much and not too little. And your plan has a couple brilliant ideas I haven't seen before - offsetting the replaceable insert so you can get eight uses out of it, and adding a hole through the table to provide a way to push the insert out. Thanks for the helping this newbie get it right the first time. 👍😀

Very nice and clean...

Very nice job! I’m going to make a copie😺

Nice job and I very much like that you incorporated the grooves on your metal drill platform to your wood table very few folks do that. I agree with the comment about using match fit clamps in incorporating these in my shop. But I have to ask you why such a thick fence? 3 laminated 3/4 boards?

Good job. I’m sure you will get many years of use out it.

This is the second time watching this video. The first time was when you posted it and then I saved it in my favorites. This is one of the nicest drill press tables I have seen. I am going to make it with one difference. The top layer of plywood and the second layer or middle piece will not be glued together. Instead, I will connect the two with a piano hinge installed along the front edge of them. Along the two side edges, I will take two 1/8" thick strips of 1" wide by 12" long pieces of steel or aluminum (whichever I have on hand) and make a 5/16" wide by11" oblong hole through the middle of the metal strip. This will be attached to the top layer of plywood at the rear side with a star knob and the other end will be attached to the front side of the second piece of plywood with a 1/4 20 screw and fender washer. The other strip of metal will be attached the same way to the other side of the table. By doing this I will be able the drill angled holes. I am hoping to attach a ruler to the strips of metal for accurate angles. Thanks for the awesome design!

Good job. 👍🏻👍🏻

good job Dave. it has all the features to obtain the max from it!!!!

Nice job.

Very nice

CA glue, brads and bolts to hold it down. You must get really physical with your drill press :-) I dig it.

Very cool. It looks good and it's easy to tell you spent a lot of time thinking about. Thanks for posting.

Great video and excellent project. Now I want to put a table on my drill press!

Clean! Great job!

Excellent video and very helpful indeed. Thanks ☺

Very nice job! Your shop looks great. Thanks for sharing.
