Sliding Drill Press Fence Jig

Mark, thank you

I have a drill press table on my

Radial Arm Drill press and it has

annoyed me since I built it

This solves my problem.

AAA+, Mark! Just yesterday I slightly misaligned two end holes for a slot in a jig. I am still annoyed. Won’t happen again. Great post.

Wow! Now THIS is creative simplicity! Thanks for sharing this, I’m going to whip one up myself.

One question, though… How do you square a round bit to a flat fence? I would think, just like a router table, the fence ends can end up anywhere. If you set the fence using the bit lowered against the workpiece, it won’t matter what angle the fence is in relation to any of the table edges.

I understand how a table with sides that are not parallel might interfere with the fence movement. The simple answer to that is to clamp on one side of the table only.

Great post!

sir, you are absolutely right, but i wast about to make a 5 degree off 90 fence ha ha.
also, if you had a mortising attachment that would be important
the jig will rise a bit off of the table on one side if only 1 clamp is used
thanks for the comment
