Custom Drill press table

A sheet of plywood with a clamp on 2x4 makes a handy drill press table and fence. If you want to get fancier, you can do more. See my drill press table at

's a really good deal. Now when I am done assembling it I need to come up with a stop or two that clamps to the fence.

Very nice and functional.

Question: I couldn't tell from pics if your basic table had a mechanical lift device (crank, gears, etc.) I just built a pretty good sized table for my older machine that didn't have a lift. I knew moving it up and down, with added weight, was going to be a problem. I queried the folks here and on abpf and got some good suggestions.

Link worked OK for me. Just that menu thing that moves on screen that makes it a PITA to view or read as it partially blocks the text.

Looks pretty nice Bob, but the blinking and the moving menu kept me from staying too long to really look at it.

He doesn't see that in IE. It only happens with browsers which support it, like Nutscrape and Mozilla, which most of us use. Don't you love FrontPage authoring?

Nice pictures, Bob. However, that main menu is encroaching on your pics & text. Keep up the good work. Joe

Thanks for the feedback. I fixed the moving menu. Are you by any chance running an 800x600 resolution screen? The menu was setup for 1024x768 screen and may not fit on a smaller screen. I'll look at it.

Yes, the table is HEAVY. I did not add any counterbalance or other assist, but it would be a good idea. Presently, I just lift up with one hand while cranking with the other. That works ok, but I may add the counterweight in the future.

Its good to get feedback, Mike. It helps me improve. I've reworked the menu location and action and got rid of the blinking. It should be much easier on the eyes now.

Thanks for mentioning this. I went back and viewed with Firefox and saw some things I could not see in IE. I fixed them.

Yes, I do. I don't want to spend time to learn a bunch of technical languages. The menu system is a separate product.

Sorry you cannot see it. There's apparently a routing problem between my ISP and the UK. I cannot fix that.

ideas. Thanks for posting. What's the slot on the front of the table for? Is there also a front-back micro adjustment on the table? Its not apparent from the photograph. They always make these photos kind of a teasing look so you cannot copy the ideas.
