Improvements for a Drill-Press Auxiliary Table
Oct 25, 2005
I was glad to see David Harvey’s idea for an auxiliary drill-press table (Fine Woodworking #101, p. 12) because I had recently purchased a floor-standing drill press. However, when I built my auxiliary table, I modified the fence so that it would position easily and have more range.
The primary modification to the fence is the clamping device. This is simply a 1/4-in. carriage bolt through an L-shaped block that, when tightened, grips the bottom of the table. A steel guide pin, made from the shank of a salvaged bolt, keeps the block lined up.
