    Cherry is not an American hardwood, is a species native to Europe and some parts of Asia and Africa naturalized in America like robinia pseudoacacia is an American hardwood naturalized in Europe, you are not talking of walnut, name that is shared by at least 2 different species, there is the American walnut and the European one and they have different characteristics.

    I think you might be mistaken. Certainly plenty of Cherry varieties were brought from Asia, but I believe black cherry is native to the eastern coast of north America. I believe most, if not all the cherry sold as cherry by american wood yards, is from Black Cherry. It is a misunderstood wood for sure, but like chestnut, it was here when the first Europeans landed.

    This pains me to say because I had to say this about a Ryobi product a few weeks ago, but this router table is hot garbage! I bought this table for $124 at Lowes - on sale from $250. I thought I hit the jackpot. What I realize now is that Lowes couldn't give this thing away unless some shcmuck - me - bought it. Well, I'm not a schumk but I am green at wood working and the important lesson I learned today? Steer clear of Kreg products. The clamps to fasten down the fence? Garbage. The instruction book is barely understandable. The packaging had most of the screws and parts in un-marked pouches so you had to almost guess which screw was called for in the instructions. The list goes on. I paid $124 for this item and in my opinion it was over priced by $100.

  • @MMWoodworking
    @MMWoodworking14 күн бұрын

    That’s a shame to hear that it wasn’t great. The clamps can be tightened significantly using the Phillips screw on them. Lock them down and then tighten them. You can get them extremely tight if you want. Then unlock them and the next time you go to lock the fence it will maintain that tightness.

    Have the same drill press and overall pretty happy with it. Sold an old delta floor model from the 40's because I wanted a smaller footprint and variable speed. Do miss how how smooth, quiet and depth it could drill though. Gotta say I though maybe something was wrong with it on first start up due to weird noises but it has become quieter or may I'm used to it. On mine the laser is way off buy I have never bothered to adjust it. Biggest disappoint is the table lift crank set up, hard to get at and inherently awkward and clunky. I too had to shim my custom table to level. As far as chuck goes quality exceeded my exceptions. Overall a good drill press for the price.

    If using a sled for the miters, I suppose the 45 degree should be set off the sled top vs the table ( since there may be a variation between sled and table) and zero out the wixey guage to the sled. Your thoughts?

  • @MMWoodworking
    @MMWoodworking27 күн бұрын

    Interesting thought. I just do it to the table, but if you think your sled may not be quiet flat, then yeah, I guess it would make the most sense to do it to the sled. I had never really thought about it to be honest. I always prefer MDF on jigs because it is heavy, and stays pretty lat, which means I can be fairly confident it is the same. I may have to go test my sled later and see if it is any different. You may just have to test yours with some scrap wood.

  • @MMWoodworking
    @MMWoodworking27 күн бұрын

    From my table to the chuck when the jaws are fully tightened (out), its 12"... add 3/4" for my MDF table, and the jaws fully retracted adds another 5/8" or so. Basically, with no bit and the jaws fully out, about 12 3/4", and with the jaws full retracted it is about 13 3/8". Just account for your chosen drill bit from there. You will also want to leave at least 1/8" to actually get the object under the drill bit, and account for any point on a brad point as well. I hope that helps. This is all +/- 1/16th or so.

  • @MMWoodworking
    @MMWoodworkingАй бұрын

    I believe it is a 3/16-24....The rough dimensions of the screws are below (excuse my lack of terminology, and I am doing this with a ruler so it's hard to count the exact threads): - Flat top, with that conical down shape (about 1/8"), with a Phillips drive. - From top of head to end of bolt = a little under 3/4" - From bottom of cone to end = a hair under 5/8" - The diameter of the threads = 0.185... 3/16"... 4.7mm - The number of threads on a 1/4" is 6ish, so over the total length is around 13-14ish, so 24ish over 1in. This is pretty rough, as I don't have anything other than my eyes and a ruler. I hope that helps and is close enough to get you what you need.

    Without either anchoring it, or beefing up the base, seems vibration could be a serious issue. Waiting to see if you observe that.

  • @MMWoodworking
    @MMWoodworkingАй бұрын

    Yes and no. It depends on the bit you are using. I almost always clamp it, or bolt it down. Vibration is worse with larger bits at slower speeds - think low grit sandpaper at a low speed. It's more just it will move in general because it lacks weight, so any pressure put on it can make it slide. The play in the lowering mechanism creates problems that mimic vibration due to the bit moving. It really needs to be clamped or bolted down.

    Great video but I’m having trouble with glue squeeze out on the inside. I try cleaning it with a straw, wet rag, etc, but I still see the ugly marks when I stain. Any advice?

  • @MMWoodworking
    @MMWoodworkingАй бұрын

    Sure... - Stain/finish the inside first. Once it is glued up you won't be working on the inside anyways, so always stain or finish the inside first. - When you place your normal glue, not the watered down, don't place a ton near the inside edge. Paint some there, but not a ton, and then put more in the middle or outside, and as it squeezes to close, it will squeeze the glue in. - Put painters tape on those inside edges before gluing up. Then, just peel it off after it has all dried. This will prevent most squeeze out from sticking, and blue painters tape is usually pretty gentle on stain/finishes if the stain is fully dry. - At a minimum, just stain the inside before gluing it up, but for me, experience with how much glue, and where to place more/less of it, came with time and experience. You get a feel for it after your fourth or fifth box. Try all three at once if you really want to do everything you can. Wiping with a rag is a terrible idea if it isn't an area you will sand after, imo, and I have no idea why people do it on internal spaces. It just pushes more glue into the wood. - If all else fails, a small card scraper may be able to remove a very thin layer of wood, and take the glue with it, but you will need to wait for the glue to totally dry.

    Great review. How do I stop the table from swiveling?

  • @MMWoodworking
    @MMWoodworkingАй бұрын

    For left-right horizontal - If you are facing the front of the press, on the left side of the pole, behind the table, there is a lever that cranks it loose/tight. It is a small handle, maybe 3in long, and moving it up will tighten, and back down and away to loosen. It's the same handle to lock the table at a certain height. To stop table angle tilt, right under the table, in the middle, there is a bolt, iirc, and that is tightened/loosened to adjust and stop the angle tilt. Hopefully that is what you are looking for.

    Having tried a similar approach a few years ago, I can testify that if your chuck is secured in the drill press via Morse taper, do not use these. Danger comes when the chuck frees itself from the vibrations and drops ... still spinning at whatever RPM you were using. Been there, done that and fortunately uninjured.

    @@MMWoodworking I believe many chucks on smaller drill presses are secured to the shaft with a bolt or screw up inside between the 3 clamping jaws, but I've had no experience with them. My drill press is the only one I've owned ... a Craftsman floor model with a 3/4" chuck. I bought it for when I was doing a lot of steel work because its table has a threaded drain hole for connecting a coolant recirculating system which I used, and because many of the drill bits I used had Morse tapers in lieu of using the chuck.

    A suggestion if I may. Laminate your Drill Speed Table so it will last a long time plus before printing it off highlight every second line to make it easier to follow the settings across the page. Saves inadvertently going up or down the line and getting the speed setting wrong for the bit you are using.
