This drill press table is a game changer. I should have built this years ago
This will be a useful setup for production work and for quickly drilling parts. No measuring required

  • One thing that’s worth mentioning as well- it’s safer, since you have a solid stop to drill against, so you don’t to worry about the drill binding up and turning your part into a propeller.

    Excellent. As a hybrid woodworker/metalworker I see lots of crossover that isnt utilised. The flip stops are a great example of this. Semi-precise and perfect for many jobs. Suits practically everything woodworking and a lot of metalworking. The spinny drill thingy in the middle is genius. I have added this to my list of things to make. Number 4633 on the list. Thats pretty high all things considered.

    Amazing! You managed to turn a $200 drill press to a $2000 ultra drill press 👍

    There is something so satisfying watching steel cut steel.

    Lovely result Tom. Serious time savings! We've all spent too much time with cold blue, calipers, squares and punches that this tool could have saved. Most jobs don't need mill-precision, and this will be perfect for those. I've seen many wooden tables and fences added to drill presses for woodworking use, but never seen one intended for metalwork. Great thinking! 💡
  • Some great ideas you have given us with your build Tom Love the rigidity. Thanks for sharing Cheers
  • @Ballba365
    Nice build, thanks Tom. Great to see the "new" mill in action!
  • @rowdydog
    Wow!!! Your talent and workmanship is next level. Thanks for your vid
  • @jsmxwll
    That is an awesome drill press table! Good work. Also I died laughing when you called them "flippy stops." I think that should be the new official name. The free spinning insert is pretty clever. I haven't seen anything like that. I'm a woodworker, so a lot of machining is fascinating at a distance. Good video. Cheers.

    Watching this, I wish I hadn’t messed around so much during metalwork at school. 40 years later, with a career in IT, I’m interested in this stuff because it’s all so tactile and physical. Great video!
  • @youyouulf

    very nice drill pallet, and I like the fence stops thats a great idea, simimlar to the rotating depth post on my router ...also a huge time saver.
