Drill Press Table Plans - bit.ly/3D6UzbP
Could your drill press use a little help in the shop? I think most can and I think that this simple yet effective project is just the ticket. In this video I design and build a drill press table featuring a custom fence, various storage options, interchangable work tops, and integrated dust collection.
This design is meant to work for just about any shop and can be customized to perfectly fit your needs. I'm very happy with the end product and have already found myself using it a LOT. The design calls for a minimal amount of wood that you probably have laying around your shop so why not make use of it! Using the full-color plans I created I built this project in a matter of hours.
We explore a couple of different options for a fence and even discuss some bonus "add-ons" to incorporate on your drill press to make it that much more effective. It's easy to neglect the drill press in your shop but it's time you give it the attention it deserves!

This press has worked like a charm for my projects ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxajoEbapTfqWaadnqb04h6U576yxXp-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!!
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.
Nice build Travis. Always enjoy watching your videos for inspiration. Your plans are very detailed and easy to follow too. Keep them coming.
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 “
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.
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. 🤞🏼
this is exactly what I want to make! thanks for combining all those ideas together.
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.
Very funny intro it was a good laugh. Need that these days.
I imagine r/wheredidthesodago would enjoy it.
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
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.
Reminds of those earlier 90’s infomercials. Like the look. Keeps them coming!
Again we’ll done ! Looks great!
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.
Travis, this is the best video yet. Thanks for sharing. Love the intro.
Love the Park City shirt... oh the video was good too! Thanks for sharing!
Great job! Yet another easy build to help in the shop. Thanks!
Nailed it! Great design and looks like it will serve you well.
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.
Wow the dust collection on that table saw is terrible.
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.
Good video Travis. Fun to watch and a good design.
Great ideas, been looking for this type of project!
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.
Well done, Travis !
Great job, you always do such pro work!
Opening alone earned a like and comment! Good creativity Travis!
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.....
Nice upgrades. A keyless chuck would be the icing on the cake.
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.
Good stuff. I don't even have a floor-standing drill press. I just like your videos. (Love the Park City shirt too.)
This gave me an idea for a cast iron table using an old table saw top.
For dust collection 3D print a telescoping set of tubes with an opening at/ in the bottom piece.
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
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. 😁🤟
Great project. Great work.
I like Matthias Wandel's table. Yours is also awesome.
Great build! Gonna make one for my smaller drilllpress
I don't buy many plans; I bought these. Looks fantastic.
Love this! Now I just need the drill press 😁.
Loved the awkward "WHAT DO I DO WITH MY HANDS?!" intro. LOL!
Nice work bro. Just moved and I can’t even think about building until I get all the stuff in storage!
Nice infomercial lead in.......and, nice drill press table.
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.
Great project and nicely executed 👍🏼
Awesome as always! We’ll done..
great job. I will be building one for myself soon.
Great video. Thus top is on my to do list! Thx for sharing
The intro is wonderful.
Great design
Very nice job well done
Cool build!
That's a great design - The dust collection would be nice, my drill press area is a real mess!
Well thought out!
You have inspired me to rework my shop
You made my day with the dustbae
Great video!
Cool project.
Nice build. I have a small toolbox under my table for all my accessories.
Great build!! Super good intro...
I would have liked for you to have explained and shown how the dust collection works.
Very Inspiring...
Thank you, for an AWESOME Build!!!
Chuck in Michigan
I'd buy your store bought table Travis. This is one ld like to build once I'm vack up and running again
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!
Awesome bro
Awesome video
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!
I like adding powdered dye to my shellac to help color things
That's a pretty cool idea!
dude that intro was hilarious 😂
Awesome build. And you’re way better than the Sham Wow guy ever dreamed of being! If UA-cam doesn’t work out, you could have a great future in infomercials!
Sounds like you’re on the right track
Looks cool. Not sure if it would work with a bench top drill press but ether way amazing and worth a try :)
I added a caliper to mine instead of the stop thing so I have a digital readout of how deep I’m drilling!
Great video
Sweet
I saw this other design where the dust collection was through the fence. The hose attached on the end of the fence.
I found multiple mistakes in the directions I paid for. It didn't keep me from building it correctly, but it required extra time to figure out what the directions should have said. I am happy with final results.
Tele Shop Nation for the win!
That intro was SO funny :)
Love the vids man and I’ll be building this soon… also, were you routing those dados backwards for the better video??
Nice job and looks great! Let’s see it in action doing some drilling. I wouldn’t cut your aluminum fence yet an d try modding your wood fence to dial in first.
I agree.... If you are using the fence, most likely something will be up against it (the purpose of the fence, right?) thus blocking the cutout... Maybe the hole in the sacrificial insert, or slightly undersized/sliding like the Katz-Moses version so you can have dust collection in front of the work piece.
Great video.
Loved the drill press table project.
“Hardboard” was used in this project for the drawer bottoms.
“Hardie Board” is fiber cement construction material, ie, fiber cement siding and backer board.
Great intro
Keep weight of top to a limit, the rack that's used to raise, lower, and rotate table may deflect and eventually bend.
great video thanks stay safe
Cool design, Travis~! I've been looking for a good cabinet design to go with a floor model drill press as well. Seems like most good ones on the Tube are for bench top models. Maybe a future Shop Nation build? Thanks for the video~!
Do you mean a cabinet that slides over the base and sits below the table?
@@ShopNation Yes sir, that's the ticket. I currently have a couple small Rubbermaid containers stacked up on the base. Tacky, tacky, tacky~! Gotta come up with/find something for my drill press gadgets, widgets, & gizmos (aka, bits, bits, & bits) before I end up expanding into container numero tres.
Thanks for the reply~! ;- )
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?
I know it would be more expensive to make it out of aluminum extrusion, but have you looked into the product below? At 10mm or about .4 inches it could make a nice drill press table and add a wooden top.
McMaster-CARR
Miniature T-Slotted Framing and Fittings
part number 1959N1 up to 24 inches.
You may want to invest in a light filtering blind for that window by the drill press for video lighting purposes. Added bonus, no one can see what you have in your garage.
Great little project that I may try at some point. Thank you very much for that.
BTW, I guess that new fangled Laguna table saw works pretty well, right? ;-) Looking to get one too if I can before year's end. It screams for a zero-clearance dado throat plate though; and some serious DIY dust separator (PS: I have a great one in place in my shop... Just sayin'). Again great job on this one again. Godspeed!
Well ok, your crazy!!! Lol.
Great build!!
Got me and the wife some Keto bro! Thanks!
That intro was hilarious
Great build! My Jet JWDP-12 table does not have pass through t track we can attach this table to (like yours). Any ideas on how to overcome that?
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 ?
you should add dust collection to your table saw
lol
Travis, this was the best dramatization I have ever seen🤣🤣
Great video Travis. Really enjoy your humor and craftsmanship. What happened to your Rockler Dust Collection on your table saw?
