Quick Tip 2 - Put a DRO on your drill press

- Add this 25 usd digital readout to your drill press for accurate drilling depths.
Ever drilled a bearing seat in a piece of wood? This takes the guesswork, and constant measuring out of the drill depth procedure.
Your drill press might require some other fixing method, but the basic is the same. Fix it between the quill and drill press body, and you are good to go.

I didn't know I needed one until just now. I am constantly using calipers in awkward places. Now I have a better solution. Excellent video... Thank you for taking the time to show this application.
Always excelent projects. Congrats!
Hello! Is it possible to install DRO for X and Y axis on a Standard upright tabletop 17MF drill press?
this is all I currently have to work with, as I cannot afford a mill.
reply
It depends on the travel length of the mill axis, but these can be purchased in several lengths
Hey! Nice video!
Where are you located? I see a danish “gå ikke under hengende last” sign
Thanks Esben, just acrosss the pond to your north. Southern part of Norway
cool
Wow... Only $30 USD?!
I was expecting this to be a $100 +... very cool.
Super nice video, can you put a link from where you bought your digital readout?

thanks
In Norway they sell them at aurus.no :)
Kind of odd to see a Norwegian sign 00.37
Along the obligatory us flag
can someone say me how this digital readout is called in german language please ?
What a great idea, nice job.
Thank you Jack
I went on to ebay and the price of this was $AU32 where the link you provided was $AU60. Thank you for the video. Just letting everyone know.
Thanks for the info, the link might be outdated, and better offers appear.
Does this block access to the pulley housing for speed adjustment?
The variable speed of the drill press is adjusted with the lever on the left , behind the scale.
Its a variator, so I do not need to open the flip top to adjust speed. thanks for watching and commenting
Great video man!! Love it! Keep up the good work.
Brilliant and easy hack!
How do you change belt speed? Do you have to remove the unit to open the belt cover?
The belt speed is adjusted with the lever on the left side, just behind the dro. Its is a variator speed control. No need to change pulleys
top idea
nice!
Hej! In your shop tour video you mentioned that this would be a "cheap chinese" drill press. I am living in Sweden, so just around the corner, and was wondering what drill press this is and where you have bought it. Haven't seen anything around that has both a tension based speedcontroll as well as a rpm meter for "cheap" :)
Thanks in advance for your help.
Have a great one!
Hi.
The brand is Einhell, and the model is BT-BD-801 E. You can find deals on the swedish pricerunner site
Thanks for getting back! Would you recommend the machine or would you look for s.th else next time?
Its OK, little to none runout in the quill, , power is as to be expected for a benchtop model. I dont use the laser, so for me it works great
Sweet - good job.
Nice! Need to see if i can fit something similar to my ancient Strands DP. Did you figure out the new dust cyclone yet? :)
Thanks, no I have not made any progress. I am making a new series on building a smaller cnc. It is veeeery timeconsuming. Do not know when the separator video will be up yet. Thanks for watching
I'm building a cyclone with similar size to yours, It will take some time to finish it here aswell. CNCs are more fun to watch anyway, cant wait to see that one!
What a breath of fresh air; someone using metric and not that antiquated imperial measurements we are swamped with from the Americans.
Sweet, glad you liked it, of course its a preference, I do not not want to bash any of them, but I have my favorite.....:)
