I've searched I don't know how many times for a video on something like this and couldn't find anything really practical. Today I was just scrolling through and came across this video and I'm glad I did. Love it. Thank you for sharing. This is going to make my life a lot easier.

Perfect addition... off to the shop to replicate it. Thank you

I love your videos! I always learn so much. Keep up the great work!

Very nice drill press jig Colin! Really like the clamping of the wood prior to driving the screw in. Another "why didn't I ever think of doing that" moment!

I like that idea I've been having no luck with vertical projects until now thank you sir you really have some great ideas

Another great jig! And I like the idea of clamping the plywood before installing the screws so the plies aren't split while the screws are cutting the threads. Thanks.

I was looking for a jig to help me and you are so on my list of jigs made of all types this one is perfect. Thank you so much for the help. Mike

Great idea is right. I used this idea to create a jig for my table top drill press so that I could drill pen blanks easier. My drill press only has a 2 inch throw so drilling pen blanks was challenging since I'd continually have to drill then stop, adjust the blank and continue drilling. I used this idea to create a jig that I can set in place, clamp the blank, drill to the depth of the press, loosen the clamp holding the blank and move it up about an inch, then continue drilling. Because I only have to move the blank slightly, the existing hole acts as a mold for the drill and I don't get any wobbling at the top or bottom of the blank. I can then repeat for the next blank, etc. I can drill a bunch of blanks or drill only one. What a time saver! Thanks so much for the idea!

I use my bench mule as the vertical support for drilling due to the stability and adding another use to a single jig. Maybe worth a try for some. I hope!

Great quick jig Colin! Thanks!

Great video for a useful project! To locate the holes for the inner brace, you could drill them from the inside face of the main boards. You scribed the location of the brace on those inside faces. Then you can drill the countersink and clearance hole from the outside faces.

Stabilized and safe ! Great idea Colin Cheers, Bram

Great video as usual. I just made a similar jig for drilling holes in the side of small cheese slicer boards to rig the slicing hardware. The travel on my drill press doesn't move far enough so I had to raise the stage while drilling to get the desired depth. Thanks Colin

Great video, I plan on making a jig like this to bore 2 too 2.5 inch holes in vases that I have turned on lathe. These vases are irregular in diameter and are very hard to hold tightly in bed of drill press. Do you think such a vise will work?

HI Colin, if I recall, you're the one who taught me how to hold a dowel on a drill press (v-notched piece of wood). Seems like that would be a perfect addition to this jig. Thanks for the tip.

Useful idea for me! I use a similar drill press, and have had the same issue of drilling into tall pieces. With regard to putting screws into the edge of plywood--You're using 1/2" ply, and what look to me to be #6 screws. I routinely use $8 screws into the edge of 1/2" plywood, and haven't had problems with splitting, as long as my hole was centered in the edge. I often set the screws hard, burying the head with a countersink, if it's in a location where appearance isn't important. I usually measure and mark a line to make sure that I'm going into the center of the ply, but it's still a lot quicker than stopping to clamp the ply. Thanks for another great video!

I was hoping this video would show me a workaround for those annoying threaded depth stops that many drill presses, including mine. have. Do you have any suggestions for get around turning and turning and turning?

Or can use a regular drill press vise

Great idea. On a side note, what is the mitre gauge fence brand you used when you cut your angles?

@eggsngritstn

3 жыл бұрын

That is an Osborne miter gauge. I have one - I find it more accurate and firm than the typical.

You could also drill a hoke the size of the dowel into scrap plywood then put the dowel into the hole. The plywood would act as a stand.

Colin, this is so simple but also so effective! awsome idea my friend!

Sir the same can also be achieved with just the 90* jig. I cut slots into the lower part to allow for use with the slots in the press base. A couple of bolts and wing nuts will allow for placement and tightening.

so, what is that tool he was using for scribing, also those countersink drill bits are cool. is that an attachment for the drill or a type of bit?

It's a mortise gauge. They have one pin on one side for what he was doing, and two pins on the other for marking mortises.

I always enjoy your videos, but I have a request. When you do a project, could you try and describe it verbally as though someone was listening to it over a podcast? Being 100% blind, there are a lot of us that don’t necessarily get “put it like this“, “ move this over there“ or countless other visual non-description descriptions. I know there’s a lot of us that would greatly appreciate it. Thank you very much and keep up the good work.

Why not just tilt the drill table ?

@knecht105

5 жыл бұрын

You can, gut then you have to make sure to reset to perfect level when your done. Also, the locking system for many drill press tables can be a relay pain.

Why not just rotate the drill press table 90 degrees? Thats why the table is made to rotate? Rotate the table and clamp the work.
