DP Table

[ragswl4]

Ordered one of these today. Discount code is DP30. Link is:

It's the table with the short fence. Not a great, but a good bargain for me.

I was looking at this awhile ago. I have a Delta tabletop DP, which I assume this should fit?

Do you know the expiration date for the discount?

Thanks,

The info on Woodpeck.com does not specify what drill presses this will fit. I will adapt it however I need to install it. I have an HF 13 inch floor model with a round table. I regret to say that I deleted the email after I ordered it so I don't know when the code expires. I think you could process the order up to just before the final point and enter the code to see if it still applies without finalizing the order. I receive periodic emails from Woodpeck as a member of their eClub. You might want to try the code as it may only work if they recognize your email address. I am not sure how it works.

I believe the email specials that Woodpecker sends out are only good for a week but I could be wrong about that. They send these out every week and sometimes the deals are great while other times they're not so great. I bought my Incra 1000SE for $107 from them on one of these promos. If you sign up for their eClub you'll receive these non advertised specials on a weekly basis.

My experience matches sweensdv's exactly. Prices usually expire in one week. I've never seen this table at a lower price. Here's a link to the eClub specials. Worth signing up for, IMHO.

edit: just noticed the text at the bottom - this special expires midnight PST 5/11/07.

I just received the email notice today about this sale -- so maybe like snail-mail, they send out emails over a period of a few days.

I am very close to ordering -- but I just spent over $800 on a gas grill. Maybe I'll wait a day or two ...

I bought one a couple of months ago and it was only $20 off then!

Overall I'm pretty happy with it. I had to drill a couple of holes in it to mate with some home-built Tee nuts in my Hitachi DP table. Works OK and the low profile fence is just what I needed.

I'm thinking about making a high fence for those times you need one. Short but high and with optional two-axis support so I can drill vertically into the ends of longer items. Should be easy.

Loring,

I too have the Hitachi dp and would love to see your modifcations once they are complete.

I heard from Woodpeck (Woodpecker?) the other day. They said it might fit a 12" Delta tabletop model, but 13" or larger is recommended for this table.

I ordered one anyway, figuring I could adapt it. Or, I will then get that larger floor model DP I've been considering ...

Just got mine yesterday, haven't installed it yet but I like it already. Fit and finish is very nice. Instructions leave a little to be desired.

Ordering an accessory now so you can justify buying the tool later..........................BRILLIANT!

I also found this one from Rockler $89 Plus $19 for the Accesory Kit
Does any one knows witch one is better? Woodpecker's deal ends at midnight

I have the Woodpecker one but I have not seen the Rockler one in person. However I've had three DPs in my life.
Its hard to see the whole picture of the Rockler one.
The Rockler has a bigger surface like 28 x 21, compared to 24" x 18" but I think its big enough. The Woodpecker has a cutout for the column allowing the fence to get closer to the column and still lcok it.
The woodpecker has two sets of tracks vs one. The inner for hold down and the outer for lockeing the fence.
The fence for the woodpecker is low profile aluminum and 35" long.
whereas the Rockler is 28" long and high profile. This is where the Woodpeck sold me, I had clearance issues with a fence the height of the Rockler interfering with my feed handles.
Finally the Woodpeck comes with hold down clamps and two nice stops.
And its a pretty red.

At $30 off the woodpeck, the prices are about equal, I think the woodpeck is a better DP table, esp. for my needs.

Thank You LCHIEN, I will order the Woodpeck's table

I like Rockler stuff, and have their router table, but I went with Woodpecker for the DP table. I like the scale, and flip stops. I am also very impressed with Woodpecker's router plates and lifts, with screw-in inserts, etc. A lot more than Rockler, but it really seems to be more of a high-end offering. And the Incra system looks really enticing. Problem is, even if I had that 3 HP router, I'd spend about $1000 to get their table, lift or plate, and Incra system.

Well, maybe next year ... and I would keep the Rockler table. I can see the benefit of having two router tables. Oh, wait, I've run out of space in the shop!
