if you offset the circular hole for the sacrificial inserts (or rotate the hear a little to the left or right), you can rotate the mdf to get a fresh bit of the mdf circle for better support and not have to replace the inserts as often
Your top drawer can also double as a dust tray when you drill through the sacrificial insert 😉 Jokes aside, nice build! It's given me some good ideas for building my PBD40 Into my cabinets 👍
Another great video mate, your style and delivery are spot on. I'd like to purchase a 'set' of your Shims, when you get to make them for sale. Soon, I hope. I also like the colours you have selected for each size. I guess a set of four for each size would be about right, not sure! About a year back, I purchased an Ozito digital so called table top drill press from Bunnings. Outstanding drill press but, it is a beast and so heavy. I'm 50/50 on dumping it for something a bit mor portable (lighter). I looked at the Bosch at the time but, thought it was a bit to small. Should have thought that through a bit more. Anyway, now the good weather has arrived, I'll be getting out into my two car garage/workshop. Got a few projects I'd like to do. Thanks again mate, love your video. see you in your next one. Kind regards, kmdc.
I prefer round inserts. You can turn just a few degrees to get a new surface, especially when using small bits. Where as square one you only get 4 surfaces maybe 8 if you can use both sides.
Someone else mentioned this and it's one of those 'oh duh, why didn't I think of that moments'. But that's learning for you. I can still probably do this, just need to change the insert location.
Good thinking, but no unfortunately, it has a pin that aligns it straight with the base. I can certainly enlarge the hole and offset from the top, I have plenty of the coasters for large ones as well anyway, so I may very well do that.
Thanks! No not low for me, probably for some other people yes, but it is a small drill press, so standing next to it, it probably gives off that perception!
Another cracking upgrade to the shop mate. 👍
Thank you friend!
Great video. As usual. No shock there. ❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Appreciate that!

Ah brilliant!

Now that.....is a really good idea. I'm going to ensure I have a centre tray that does that.

How good are Shims 😉 Great upgrades mate

@barberspaddockwoodworking not sure on that drill press. But could the column be turned in the base slightly to offset the insert?

I'd be interested in purchasing a set of shims.
Working on something, and who knows. Will maybe offer them soon. :)
@@barberspaddockwoodworking The shims looked nicely done, they'd be a quality addition to my shop.
A question, is it not a bit low or have you put it to a height more suitable for yourself?
Looks super cool, the whole workshop tbh 👍🏻

Thank you for the video. The acrilic you have on then drill press, did you made it ? Or…
@@pedro-marques-jesus Oh you mean the guard on the front? Yeah that comes with the drill press, nothing I did on that one. 🙂
