    Drill Press Table Ideas??

    I want to build a new drill press table, but I think I'll do one with a verticle face of one side to enable end boring longish pieces.
    I know I've seen plans or pictures somewhere, does this ring a bell with anyone else?
    Any ideas or comments welcome.

    I loosely based mine off of this design .... I think this is what you're looking for

    If it ain't broke.. don't fix it!!!... but you can always 'hop it up'

          I built one like this, using instructions in Wood magazine, but without the vertical portion. I added drawers underneith for bit storage. I like it a lot.

            I received a Drill Doctor for Christmas and they had a card enclosed for free project plans. http://www.woodmagazine.com/drilldoctor

              Before you start building, tally up the likely costs (material, T-track, hardware) and see what it adds up to. I was planning to build my own DP table, but then word came out about Grizzly selling them for just $30. It is a regular table with a fence and a stop block, but it could be easily extended with a vertical part. I think you could actually join two of those tables togeather for the needed result.

                  Wood magazine drill press table

                  Can anyone tell me what issue this is from and if you have built this table. Also can you tell me if you would change anything? Thanks.

                    Keep in mind the location of the elevation hand crank. DAMHIKT
