Drill Press Table/Upgraded Dust Collection

Looking good! I like the center track – sort of an obvious feature but one that a lot of designs don’t include. I also really like your extendable stop. This gives me a few ideas to incorporate when I get around to refurbing my DP table.

Thanks for the comments L4E ! One nice thing about the center track it’s great for holding down small pieces and also is perfect for getting the center pads out,I just slip a screw driver in the slot and it pops right off .

Nice, I really like the extendable stop block. I wish I had incorporated one in mine. I like the attachment idea as well much better than what I am currently using. I will have to see if I can adopt it.

Can I ask where you got your T-track and hold down bolts from? I’m want to build me a decent drill press table, but have had trouble getting T-track and accessories for a reasonable price with shipping. I can’t find it locally.
I have a cheap Harbor Freight made tabel that’s made out of junk MDF right now. It’s temporary though until I can find the parts to build what I really want.

Talk about some serious “Bells & Whistles” on this bad boy. Ohhh so many ideas I want to incorporate in mine some day. Outstanding work!

Nice table – I really like the extendable stop.

@William – I’m guessing (because of the color) that those are Kreg tracks and hold downs. I made one recently with accessories from Peachtree.

Looks great. As soon as I finish the Christmas presents that I didn’t finish…...this is next on my list.

Very nice! This is on my list to do very soon!

Thanks for the posts and appreciate the feedback from all above !

@RayCurtis Thanks and yes the attachment design is fast and easy for removing and installing,hope it can be worked out for Your tables design.

@William I purchased My track at my local Woodcraft store (WWing supply store) similar to Peachtree, like what James pointed out above. Unfortunately It is not much cheaper than on the internet usually. With that said, if You look at my fence system You can create a T-track like system using dado cuts and material placement ?

@Maveric777 One thing I have learned from viewing Your projects is that when You get done with Your version of something there’s no bells and whistles, more like rockets and fireworks LOL ! Thanks and take care!

@Jamesvavra Thanks for looking and the leg up!

@tt1106 I hear Ya on the X-mas list ! Hope You find time to put one together, it’s worth it!

Another excellent drill press table to snag an idea or two from, including the sliding stops, as well as the center hold down. Nice!

That’s a great looking DP table! Just got my first drill press yesterday, this gives me some ideas for the one I’m going to build.
