This press has worked like a charm for my projects kzread.infoUgkxajoEbapTfqWaadnqb04h6U576yxXp-FE . I didn't even secure it to my table top, mainly due to the fact that I was using a 15 lbs drill vise. It's not flimsy at all as to what others have claimed it to be. Make sure the locking nuts and levers are secured and there won't be any issues with light pressure and patience. I was able to drill through aluminum, plastic, and steel (steel took a while) with no problems at all. Yeah it took a little longer than a regular drill press, but I don't have the space OR the money for one.The instruction manual was worthless, but luckily assembling the press was intuitive. However, the manual would be good for ordering replacement parts if needed. There is a nice breakdown of the parts that are included in the kit. Before ordering, make sure it is compatible with your unit, it is clearly stated what models the press is compatible with.This was an excellent purchase for $40!!

2 things: - you can see how dedicated he is with his infomercial that he's running the drill press while doing a skit. - he got a tan.

Very funny intro it was a good laugh. Need that these days.

I imagine r/wheredidthesodago would enjoy it.

Another plus of the store bought fence is that you can turn it flat to use as a low profile fence for smaller stock where the chuck would hit the fence.

Loved the awkward "WHAT DO I DO WITH MY HANDS?!" intro. LOL!

Nice build Travis. Always enjoy watching your videos for inspiration. Your plans are very detailed and easy to follow too. Keep them coming.

Wow the dust collection on that table saw is terrible.

this is exactly what I want to make! thanks for combining all those ideas together.

Love it. I watched all of it even though I have very little interest in getting a drill press right now. Over the years I have watched all of you videos, it has been awesome to see you grow and improve your videos and your skills. Keep up the good work! You clearly love your “side hustle “

Opening alone earned a like and comment! Good creativity Travis!

Love the Park City shirt... oh the video was good too! Thanks for sharing!

Haven’t even watched it yet and I’m so excited, finally!!! Now can you build custom organization in your shop cabinets... I need ideas like drop down shelves etc. 🤞🏼

Again we’ll done ! Looks great!

Holy cow, that Laguna table saw was spewing some serious dust. Love your approach to these videos. The easy switch from woodworking to metalworking for a drill press is key. Glad you underscore that.

great build! I would love to see more b-roll of the final project in use. that goes for your other project too! love your stuff and keep it up

This gave me an idea for a cast iron table using an old table saw top.

Great ideas, been looking for this type of project!

Great job, you always do such pro work!

Great job! Yet another easy build to help in the shop. Thanks!

Another good project! Thx for sharing once again!!

Man this channel has come a long way! I remember when you had less than 30k subs. You make really great content. Keep up the good work.

I was watching some of his old videos and I think it was his first workbench video that he said he had something like 25 subs.

Travis, this is the best video yet. Thanks for sharing. Love the intro.

Good video Travis. Fun to watch and a good design.

Nailed it! Great design and looks like it will serve you well.

Great project. Great work.

Nice upgrades. A keyless chuck would be the icing on the cake.

Cool build! One of the things I'd like to see is how to quickly and accurately keep the table perpendicular to the drill itself. My table always rotates along the post as I raise/lower it.

If you never have need to shift the table left and right based on the kind of work you do with the drill press, the solution is simple: drill 3/16" hole in the top and the bottom of the toothed rack on the vertical pillar and install a screw into the pillar. That keeps the center of the table perfectly aligned with the quill's axis as you raise or lower the table.

Great project and nicely executed 👍🏼

Very good design. Not too bulky or obtuse. I would add one last thing... Extendable side wings, I like Shop Smith's that slide out on square aluminum bars. Sometimes you need that extra distance when drilling out waste for table legs. But even hinged extensions could work also.

Well done, Travis !

Great video. I liked everything up to the point of paint. I must say, you have far more confidence in your plans then I do. Doing all the cuts for the entire project in advance takes guts and confidence you may not want to modify it.

Great build! Gonna make one for my smaller drilllpress

Great video. Thus top is on my to do list! Thx for sharing

Reminds of those earlier 90’s infomercials. Like the look. Keeps them coming!

Good stuff. I don't even have a floor-standing drill press. I just like your videos. (Love the Park City shirt too.)

Love this! Now I just need the drill press 😁.

Cool build!

great job. I will be building one for myself soon.

I dig it. Jonathan Katz Moses makes probably the best stop block around. Figured since you used his table as a base, pimping his stop block is a fair compromise. 😁🤟

Awesome as always! We’ll done..

For dust collection 3D print a telescoping set of tubes with an opening at/ in the bottom piece.

dude that intro was hilarious 😂

Great design

I like Matthias Wandel's table. Yours is also awesome.

Very nice job well done

The intro is wonderful.

Well thought out!

Lol I like how you didn't use your little stop block you did for the miter saw table. Ive been wanting to add that to my table for awhile now

Nice work bro. Just moved and I can’t even think about building until I get all the stuff in storage!

I don't buy many plans; I bought these. Looks fantastic.

Nice infomercial lead in.......and, nice drill press table.

You have inspired me to rework my shop

Great build!! Super good intro...

I like your table with the dust collection. I'm thinking of making one, too, but with a bunch of holes surrounding the zero clearance plate. This will give the dust a place to go. I only have a bench version so I will have to carefully consider the drawers, but if they fit.....

Cool project.

Great video!

Tele Shop Nation for the win!

Awesome bro

Awesome build. And you’re way better than the Sham Wow guy ever dreamed of being! If KZread doesn’t work out, you could have a great future in infomercials!

Building one for my shopsmith. Love how you made it thin, if deeper, drawers become full,, heavy, unorganized Great idea on magnets and tape storage I will add foam to one drawer, as I use the router, pin router in mine. Trying to figure out my pin, on the top of table. I came up with a circular removable insert in my drawing. Rotate vacuum hole around work, pin is centered anchored to base below. Am I missing something. Need mine light, as I will be installing on my aluminum table, when standing up, revoing otherwise. Part of the Shopsmith system, I am developing for building guitars mostly. Thanks, great content.

You made my day with the dustbae

That intro was SO funny :)

That intro was hilarious

I like your table design an I'm considering some thing like for my bench top along with a roll cabinet. Rings workshop could be worth watching for drill dust collections.

Very Inspiring... Thank you, for an AWESOME Build!!! Chuck in Michigan

That's a great design - The dust collection would be nice, my drill press area is a real mess!

9:44 - Most relatable woodworking face. Also, I thought sawdust in the children's hair was a parenting goal. . .

I think you and Travis got it wrong, it's not saw dust, it's MAN Glitter!

Awesome video

I would have liked for you to have explained and shown how the dust collection works.

Great video

Hmmm, maybe I'll buy a $40 table so I can build a really sweet one, LOL, very tempting but maybe just but the newer Wen, and mod it to get the DC. Also love the hi-lo fence!

Sounds like you’re on the right track

Great video.

I'd add some thumb screws to the 4 corners for hot swaping those metal/wood interchangable tops. Also, maybe just me but I like to keep my drill/forstner bits nearby, so I'd add a mount for those (maybe to the stand itself so they stay with the press instead of being removable).

I'd go for speed knobs as they're more comfortable to use, but the idea is the same, definitely.

Nice build. I have a small toolbox under my table for all my accessories.

And here I was thinking this morning, "Hmmm...I haven't seen a ShopNation video in a while"

great video thanks stay safe

That intro was EPIC!! "Overly engineered", LMAO!!!

I like adding powdered dye to my shellac to help color things

Looks cool. Not sure if it would work with a bench top drill press but ether way amazing and worth a try :)

Sweet

Well ok, your crazy!!! Lol. Great build!!

I'd buy your store bought table Travis. This is one ld like to build once I'm vack up and running again

Travis, this was the best dramatization I have ever seen🤣🤣

Great intro

Got me and the wife some Keto bro! Thanks!

nice job. Always love seeing your videos. like the dust collection option and yes you always need that on the top suction as well. I did find it funny that your table saw looked like it's dust collection needed improving and you didn't have anything on your miter saw. lol. liked the triangular painting cones you used what brand were they? Also have you made the metal top for it yet?

Love the vids man and I’ll be building this soon… also, were you routing those dados backwards for the better video??

that intro! Hahaha

LOLOLOLOL!!! You are clearly the person who produces those “As Seen on TV” ads.

I saw this other design where the dust collection was through the fence. The hose attached on the end of the fence.

I added a caliper to mine instead of the stop thing so I have a digital readout of how deep I’m drilling!

Next easy weekend project: zero clearance inserts for your table saw. Good work Travis.

Sounds like Bourbon Moth voiced over the intro 😂

"But wait! There's more" lol

Great video Travis. Really enjoy your humor and craftsmanship. What happened to your Rockler Dust Collection on your table saw?

Just ran across your channel, nice build! I also like how you include most all the thing's your useing in the description with links. What hose are you using for your dust collection ?

Outstanding intro 🤣🤣

Hello, very good job, salutations de Suisse 🇨🇭. A bientôt 👍👍👍👍

I love all of your tips and ideas. Here's one for you: put a damp paper towel under your cutting board when cutting veggies and it won't slip around. Ha!
