Simplifying the Hooked On Wood drill press table, looks sturdy
Excellent work and a really nice design.
Nice build. Congrats.
I would have offset the sacrificial disk from the drill axis, so that it can be used longer by simply rotating it a bit until it's completely ruined.
Yea, I worked that out after I had made the disk 😕
Man, what a fantastic job on this project! It looks so clean and efficient, it gave me so many ideas! You explained everything so well, too. Thanks for sharing! It was so good, I'm subscribing! 😊
Very nice build, and simple to follow. Thx. If you flip the fence over, so the track higher up, might be easier to twist the knob on the stop block ;)
Good idea, thanks ☺️
Great skills mate. Subscribed!
Nice and useful thy.
How's that jointer/thicknesser working out?
Any issues? Thinking about getting one.
It’s been great, especially for a small shop where I can’t really fit two separate machines.
I highly recommend the helical cutter head, I’ve had it around 3 years now and it still cuts perfectly, I haven’t even had to rotate the cutter blades
is the fence there just so you have to stop block to drill repeated holes like cuts on a mitre saw, or are there other uses?
Yes it’s for repeatable drill holes but not just from the stop blocks but just sliding a piece along the fence will ensure holes are all of equal distance to the edge of the work piece.
Looks flash and you’ve done a lovely job, but like so many of these drill tables shown on RUclips, definitely not perfect sorry to say. Another drill fence where one hasn’t thought through its use. Obviously you will get a ton of debris blocking the T Track channels as you have put them on the top. This will get old real quick. Why didn’t you put them on the ends on their side? Won’t clog anywhere near as much. Still simple to work and make, just make the fence a U shape to slide in the end channels.. Need a version 2 model…You will thank me once you’ve altered it.
I did look into the side mounted fence, in particular I liked the Hooked on Wood one.
I opted not to go for that approach for a few reasons:
1. Its a little more technical and I thought that I didn't need the extra benefits that it gives in a small shop like mine
2. I need to put t-track on the table anyway to I can use hold downs (something I forgot to demo in my video), so I may as well use the same t-track for the fence.
As for your concern about the t-track getting debris in it, I haven't noticed that yet and I have a similar setup with my router table.
