This was exactly what I have been searching for. An adjustable angle jig. Thank you! I also love your use of the mustard bottle. This is why I follow the more experienced woodworkers on here because of little jems like that! Cheers!
I watch quite a few woodworking videos (while I should be in the shop) and yours is the first that I can remember that showed a table saw cut using the blade guard. Good show!!
I've learned a lot from you. I'm going to try this one. I make a lot of pocket holes this may be faster, especially using a stop for the downward motion.
Colin, that is a GREAT simple jig. Once I get our table 90" to the bit, I don't want to change the angle so this jig is a MUCH BETTER way to drill angled holes. I especially like the bottom front fence AND the back 45" stop fence. Thanks
At 8:30 you mention the drill bit possibly snapping, and the need to go slow. All good precautions. Perhaps safety glasses would be also a good precaution. Really enjoy your videos.
Good videos you have, Colin. I'm a machinist/blacksmith/metal fabricator, I used to work on cars too, so I can tell you there are bent wrenches (they look like kind of a "Z") that can reach bolts that are placed in deep, hard to reach holes. I have a drill press similar to yours, and the manufacturers placed a bent wrench (that can reach that bolt) in the box. Although I don't like to tilt the table on the drill press, because I have to take the head off the drill press to set the table back in perfectly perpendicular to the spindle (take head assembly off, take the table off, put it back turned upside down,
Nice video, but I was looking for a jig that would allow drilling compound angles. My Jet bench-top drill press table easily tilts +/- 45 degrees, so this jig would be unnecessary for it unless an angle greater than 45 degrees was needed. Simple angled holes are angled in 1 plane only. Compound ones are angled in 2 perpendicular planes and are much more difficult on a typical drill press. An example of a compound angle hole would be in a 3-legged stool seat. The leg holes (and leg lengths) would have to be identical or the seat would be unlevel and the stool therefore less stable. A combination of tilt and rotation would achieve it, but exactly how is difficult to describe.
That a clever jig, Colin. thanks for sharing. The movable plateau of my drill press is easier to put at angle than yours but I do not like to do that very much. Going Exactly back to zero (totally level) afterwards is a problem. As soon as I finish new storing places in my garage (where I can put things for our cars and garden which now take a lot of space in my shop) I'll be going to plan some "jig weekends". You made and showed so many handy jigs the last few weeks which I'd like to make. Now there is still lack of time and lack of place but it will be better soon, I hope.
Thanks for this Colin. I'd like to see a video on compound angle drilling and with repeatable opposing corners like with stool legs. Do you ever have occasion for that?
Like the drill press jig simple and to make. I have noticed you clamp rack in the background, have you made a video making it, if you have could make another one?
Hi very nice and usefull vidéo! I would also like to know where can i find the drilling guide the you use for drilling the holes for making the "T" (the name or brand of it) Thanks ;)
My drill press has a similar bolt but I leave it a little loose and use the set screw underneath to lock things in place. Looks like you have a hole there but no set screw.
New subscriber here... cool video, but you running the risk of 'catching it' from the safety crowd over not wearing safety glasses. You really should wear them, remember impressionable kids watch this material. Also, pretty sure that large bolt head could be easily accessed via a common 12pt box end wrench or universal socket... maybe even a ratcheting box end.

Colin, I'm fairly new to woodworking and your videos have opened up SO many possibilities for me! Thank you for what you do, sincerely!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
That is why I like your jigs, Collin! Quick, simple and practical.
Das ist eine affengeile Vorrichtung, Herr Knecht ! Die werde ich mir in jedem Fall nachbauen Ihr Abonnent bin ich schon seit Jahren.
I watch quite a few woodworking videos (while I should be in the shop) and yours is the first that I can remember that showed a table saw cut using the blade guard. Good show!!
You are the best. I like your flowing pace and editing, not to mention your ideas and tricks. Be well sir.
I've learned a lot from you. I'm going to try this one. I make a lot of pocket holes this may be faster, especially using a stop for the downward motion.

You´re so kind doing these videos to us ! Thank you...Thank you... Thank you...Very much...
Great timing on this video, Colin! Just a few days ago I bought a new drill press that can't angle the table! Thanks! :)
Like so many others, I REALLY appreciate your videos, although I'm not much of a woodworker myself.
Keep going strong!
The very best from Sweden! 🇸🇪
Thank You, Bertil!
Great idea! I'm very happy I found your page Colin
+Thomas Hintz Thanks Thomas!

Another great jig, very cleaver Colin. I can see myself using this one! Thanks

Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!
I'm thinking of building a similar setup except with angled+mortised slots on the base and a hinged prop for the support.
this is perfect for a project i am doing at the moment, thanks for sharing
Great tips and ideas
Nice and clear. Thanks!
Awesome, very simple

+Hans de Groot Space and time always seem to be a problem in the workshop! Thanks for watching Hans!
What a awesome idea and setup looks great
+Thom spillane Thanks Thon!
WoodWorkWeb lol I get call thom with the th sound h is silent my great grandmother was from Sweden and she insisted I spell my name Thom
lol 😂👍
Great idea, thank's for sharing.
+EDDY TAYLOR You're welcome. Thanks for watching Eddy!
What if you need to make a "row" of equally spaced angled holes on a long piece of wood..?
My drill press came with a spanner for that bolt.
Thanks for this Colin. I'd like to see a video on compound angle drilling and with repeatable opposing corners like with stool legs. Do you ever have occasion for that?
Like the drill press jig simple and to make. I have noticed you clamp rack in the background, have you made a video making it, if you have could make another one?
+Thomas Whitson Thanks Thomas. I have a video on the clamp rack here ruclips.net/video/HZzKpvJLX1s/видео.html
Grande idea👌 veri gouud Fabrizio Italia. Ciao 👴
+fabrizio fabrizi Thank You!
G R E A T I D E A.....Wow!(and thanks)...rr
I would advise against putting "tons of pressure" on that. Otherwise, pretty simple and useful jig.
Great Idea!! Are those safety glasses hanging on your neck?
Super sir
Hi very nice and usefull vidéo!
I would also like to know where can i find the drilling guide the you use for drilling the holes for making the "T" (the name or brand of it)
Thanks ;)
Where it is applied sir...
Enjoyed that Colin, thanks for sharing. Incidentally, what was that nice dowel jig you used?
Great idea and it will be added to my "To Do" list. When setting other angles do you an angle gauge or protractor or just eye ball it?
Thanks Tom. I usually use an angle gauge for other angles.
Ma shaa Allah
Respect
From morocco :)
Mustard bottle for the glue is a great tip.
My drill press has a similar bolt but I leave it a little loose and use the set screw underneath to lock things in place. Looks like you have a hole there but no set screw.
How can we adjust the angle???
You would add different stoppers and wedges.
very good video. apart from your not wearing safety glasses/goggles safety first 👀
