As woodworkers, we are so used to dealing with fences that must be square to a PLANE, such as a table saw rip fence or cross cut sled, that we forget that a drill press fence only needs to keep any given point on a work piece a set distance from a single point-- the chuck. This table design is a revelation in its simplicity. Thank you!

I just checked online and I understand the difference between hardboard and MDF. No need to reply. Thanks for a great video.

These wood work magazine shops are the cleanest neatest I have seen. No money spared on fancy wood either.

I have struggled for years wondering why a new drill press table which is substantially different from the last iteration always have to be built in demos like yours. Back fifteen years ago or more you built a remarkable drill press bench which I built. How ever I added dust collection on the table top without the need of vacuum hoses hanging attached in some awkward way. I built 6 inch round hardboard sacrificial backer boards for drilling clean holes on the bottom side. Some of the backer boards have centered 2, 3, 4 inch dia holes to accommodate sanding drums. The table slide left to right to use all of the area of the sacrificial backer boards before I use the backsides. I am grateful for the great drill press table you enabled me to build. Thanks.

That trick for perfectly square threaded inserts is just excellent! Thanks!

[ericrickert]

Another brilliant guys. Very detailed instructions with the highest level of professionalism. I have delayed building a table for my drill press until now. Thank you for the know how and inspiration. Love the videos you present us.

[jameskeyes]

Excellent videos professionally filmed. Everything explained and shown. And no music! Thanks. Bravo.

[icysteve]

WOW that insert jig is really cool. I'm glad I stayed till the end. Thanks

[glenkelley]

TY for a fine presentation. I still use the drill press on my Dad's Shop Smith which is 80+ years old and going strong.

Really good video. Another option for the threaded insert installation block is to just use the drill press chuck.

[jimbo]

Superb video. May I suggest: no need to waste wood and double sided tape on backing when cutting the slot. Just go half way through from each side by flipping it over.
