Drill press - precision fence distance setting aid

[niki]

Good day

Nowadays, not much of woodworking...getting ready for the Polish winter so, we are wrapping all the planters with a special cloth that will protect the soil from freezing down to -20°c (-4°f).

so, that's the time to improve some small things around the garage...

For long time I was looking for some "reference line" to set the Drill Press fence distance precisely and today I made it.

I used 8mm rod, measured with caliper but, you can use any diameter.
And, because I used 8mm rod I used 4mm drill bits (half the dia) as you will see

And the rest is on the pics

Thank you Final T

Why not, even 30~40°F is cold enough
