I just came across this video of your drill press adjustable top. Now I am rethinking my project and installing drawers. I found two Craftsman work benches that need some work and a better top. I have a heavy desk top that is going across both benches at a 90 degrees. I was going to put in a simple 5 foot box for storage and built in lights. After seeing your drawers you built I going to change my plan around.
Ey dude!! I really enjoy your explanations, and we have the same kind of footages too.. is amazing how we can enjoy the same work (woodworking) with cool camera shots, it turns the video very enjoyable.
@@katzmosestools hahahaha, as bad as My English??? It doesn't matter buddy, we speak with our hands the universal maker language 🤟😎... I'll be looking forward for more content
Have you looked at a dust shroud typically used for hammer drills or angle grinders for silica dust collection? Might work better than your directed hose.
Actually, your idea of a dust shroud is most likely THE best, most practical dust collection idea I've seen yet. I have the Festool OF1400 router and the dust shroud that comes with that would be perfect for a drill table application. You'd just need to fasten it to a piece of flat mdf or plywood or Plexiglas with an adequate hole cut out of it and go. I think it would work substantially better and in most if not all cases than anything I 've seen on RUclips.
Another fantastic video and build. Thanks for sharing. I think grooving or putting a bunk of holes or grids into that middle replaceable plate will improve dust collection like a mini down draft table but with bigger holes for the curls. Love your videos!
You get my thumbs up for the “that’s what she said reference!” Just ordered two of your stop blocks and a dovetail guide earlier this week. They should arrive tomorrow, so stoked! Keep making sawdust, love what you’re doing!
Very nice. I know you are a pro but as a novice it would be helpful if I knew how long it took you to make a project. It would give me a baseline, something to shoot for after the quality is up to par. I enjoy all your videos. Thanks and keep 'em coming.
Looks awesome. I think I'll do a much slimmed down version for my bench top drill press. I need a wider table with a fence for that anyway. I just have a regular shopvac for dust collection, would I need to modify the air channel a whole lot since I probably have significantly less CFM?
With the zero clearance insert, could / would a “peg board” style insert work with dust collection like for sanding boxes, OR would the extra holes decrease collection??
Using that. Matchfit Dovetail Clamps to secure from the bottom was a genius idea - I might have seen that somewhere before - maybe, but can't remember where (hahaha). Now in the routing scene that was taking the "sawdust is man glitter" thing to the extreme! Great build. Just a couple of questions: I think my drill press table handle for raising and lowering might be hampered by the unit your built - how did that work out for the design of your drill press - okay, apparently? Having the large drawers on there, does that limit your ability to lower the drilling surface so you can put taller items under the bit? Maybe that is only a problem for the benchtop drill presses that most of us have.
What is the squaring jig (5:08 in the video) made from? Cool design - are the holes just to lighten it up or are they for clamps? Seems like they would be great for square casework with clamps
Hey JKM, I’m about to build your dust collecting drill press table. I know it’s been two years since you built yours, do you have any changes you would make after using for a while?
I love that table, and I also love that drill press. I have a drill press table on my to-do list, but mine is tiny compared to yours, and I won't have room for draws which means I probably won't be able to have an extract system beneath the table. That drill is crying out for a new chuck btw. I'm guessing it uses a #3 Morse taper, and a 16mm (5/8") keyless chuck is about US$50 on Amazon.
Great build! Do you have a link to the hold down clamps you are using? I bought the t track you linked for my cross cut sled, but the power Tec hold down clamps I bought don't fit the t track. Most of what I'm finding is 5/16" 18 thread and I don't think any of them will work.
Very cool and timely. I've been wanting to make one but never found a design I liked. Thanks for posting. Wanted to tell you that if you give Danny a chance the next time he may be flipping the bird instead of the peace sign. Just sayin'...
Can you do a video over nails and nail guns? I noticed you used two different guns and nails. Since I just started in woodworking I Would love to find out proper use and application.
I'm making a _much_ smaller table and was thinking about a sliding insert routed with a dovetail bit. That would let it slide but not lift out. Any thoughts on that design? Thanks for the great video!
Why is the dust collection slot in the fence offset by 1/4 inch to the right? Am I missing something, it seems the insert would be easier to remove if the slot was centered with it.
Quick question: I just bought my first drill press and wanted to make a table for it. It's a 12" bench top one. Doesn't making a table take up a bunch of the clearance on a drill press? Am I missing something? Maybe my drill press is so small that making a table for it doesn't make much sense.
i have the same drill press and it is a work horse, the only problem is that since the machine is moreo f a machinist drill press, the table doesn't have through holes to mount anything and there aren't many options other than clamping the new table to it.
Hey Jonathan. What video editing software do you use? I'm interested in the ability where you add the text labels with lines to show what different items are
You must be shopping at better auctions than I am. Nothing that sweet has ever crossed my path. Love the build now just need to find the press to use it on!
noting that, curiously, you don't seem to trust the fence scale on your SawStop TS... you are using a ruler to measure distance from the fence to the blade. Wondering why the fence scale isn't sufficient? Mine seems to be dead accurate, always.
It is a brand new saw so I hadn't even checked it yet BUT, I never trust anything but the thing I used to measure what I need. I.E. If I used my tape to measure the distance I need then I use my tape to measure on the tool I'm using to cut that. I (personally) can't stand being off by more than a 1/128. Drives me nuts.
I am making a small removable table for my tiny bench-top drill. Mine is basically a top, pieces to guide the steel table below, and caul-like clamps to grab the table. I loosen the knobs below and my table slides off. I've also got a simple fence that clamps on the top. It's nowhere near Jonathan's table, but my little drill would tip over with his beautiful beast of a table.
I'm unclear how the top holds to the lower box? And did you install a stop at the back, I see a bolt sticking up at an angle on the old table? And am I crazy but you never showed the vacuum setup and how it all attaches to the new version??
Hi Jonathan, I really appreciate the workmanship and design in this project but for people with a benchtop drill press, it is not of any use. If you come up with one for a benchtop I would buy the plans if it would fit my small workshop. Cheers, Huw

Brilliant idea & multipurpose
Now if you just build extendable side wings that slide out on square tubing, you will have the Ultimate Drill Press Table. Great job.
7:37 - It's snowing in Cali! Best design I've seen, it may even convince me to build a drill press table! Keep 'em coming.
Beautifully done. I mean, that's no surprise to anyone, though, right? :)
got the thumbs up for the LOL with Michael saying "that's what she said"! great job.
Very Nice Build. Really like it.

Turned out awesome Jonathan, great job! 😃👍🏻👊🏻 ..... Thanks for the info too, you really made baffling less baffling! 😉

Same here, I am wondering what the benefit of that could be...

Hey Jonathan this table is great. Do you intend on putting a set of plans out for this at some point?
Now I want a drill press even more... Well done sir, well done!

As someone who is interested in horology in addition to woodworking, you have made a good choice with your SEIKO 5 SNK805 watch. 👍⌚
Great video Jonathan a must make when I get around to building my new shop after the house renovation
Just checking in. Nice set up.
Very nice!
Newbie question here ... what is the purpose of the lower t-track that allows the upper table to slide foward & back?
Howdy Danny !!!!!!
Love your vibes man. Instant sub

Lol
Great Video Bud👍

Would have liked to see your plumbing for vacuum hoses Thanks for sharing
It did show it. It's just a 2.5" hole in the back left side and a tee fitting. The center cavity is where the air passes.
Just waiting for the day Danny becomes a real boy!
very nice looking saw dust hair gel @7:45 lol

Ba Dum Tsssssss!
Thanks for the great video! I've been wanting to do this with my drill press! Thanks , man!
Nice build bud
Just received your stop block for my crosscut sled. Game changer! Great stuff, keep up the good work.
With the zero clearance insert, could / would a “peg board” style insert work with dust collection like for sanding boxes, OR would the extra holes decrease collection??
It would cost nothing to test it. Could work
Great build. I’m just not clear of the advantage of the sliding top compared to having just the fence slide.

Interesting design but could you add some demonstration of how to use it. Specifically, explain how to use the sliding/reversible insert.
Have you done a video on those corner blocks you use? Did you cut them on the CNC or by hand using the table saw?
I haven't. It's a design by fireball tools.
