Woodsmith Easy-To-Build Drill Press Table Standard Plan & Premium Shop Drawings

The drill press is an essential woodworking tool. But the cast iron table found on most drill presses is a reminder that this tool was originally designed for machinists. Fortunately, a few simple modifications can turn a drill press into a precision woodworking machine. The first thing to add is a large worksurface. This makes it easy to work with longer workpieces. And the top should be made from a material that won't damage your drill bits like the cast-iron table can. Another important feature is a fence to keep your workpiece in position when drilling. The one on this table has a straightforward design that's easy to build. This project won't take long to complete, but will surely pay off each time you use your drill press. 

You can purchase the Woodsmith Easy-To-Build Drill Press Table standard plan or the supplemental premium shop drawings as a downloadable PDF or in a printed format that we ship to you. We highly recommend purchasing both the standard plan and the supplemental premium shop drawings for more in-depth instructions and greater detail.
