Mark Hosbach it’s a cracking idea but just watch the load on the drill motor, you don’t want to see smoke and dripping sealant coming from it like i did when using a sanding bobbin, expensive, needed new motor!
@@GC-rf2st I would think the side load on the bearing would be a bigger concern. They were not designed for it as much as for an axial load. If the motor is a concern like on a cheap drill press just use a lower speed belt setting.
@@InsideOfMyOwnMind You have to admit, it was a very efficient way of coating the sanding belt with glue at 7:15 It slowed down the sanding process so that he had more time to enjoy the work.

@@SuperSpecialty I agree with your sensible comments on machine safety. However, anyone gullible enough to believe their TV rather than using their common sense in the real world is just wilfully ignorant, or, as Forrest Gump said "Stupid is, as stupid does."

Some really good and creative ideas there... A few things to keep in mind though. Drill chucks and drill press spindle bearings are not designed to take side (cross axial) loads. The drum sander attachment is a very creative idea, and it clearly works, but I wouldn't use your drill press in that configuration exclusively as it'll greatly shorten the life of your spindle bearings. This is especially true of the inexpensive (cheap) bench top drill presses out there. The double drill chuck idea is fantastic... As a few others have commented, clamp a short length of steel rod in both chucks before tightening down the drill chuck on the drill press table. This will align the table chuck to the spindle chuck much more accurately, allowing you to drill concentric holes more accurately. Again... Some really creative ideas here, just keep the limitations of the machine in mind.
I've used mine for years with drum sanding bits attached to it. I haven't noticed any issues with the bearings wearing out and losing accuracy. You are correct however, the bearings aren't designed for lateral loads. If you think sanding is bad, I know a metal worker who couldn't afford a mill so he used his drill press. He bought a cheap chinese slide table and mounted it and used it for a couple of years until he saved enough for a mill.
Putting a bearing at the bottom and using the drum closest to that bearing takes a LOT of stress off the drill. I doubt very much it's even feeling any sideways pressure from that setup. I had something similar before I got a spindle sander. The only beef I have with it is I firmly believe dedicated tools is the way to go if you have enough room. Needing to set it up and take it down because I use the drill press for so many other things takes too much time for me. I bought that spindle sander years ago and I *still* think "this is so much nicer than setting up and taking down that drill press thing." But I should also say I gave the drill press spindle sander to another woodworker who then used it to death and built another one because he's short on room and put a planer where the spindle sander would have gone. So, there's that.
@@danc2234 The pressure would depend on what part of the spindle or drum you're sanding against. If you're using the top third, it would be more on the drill. If you're using the bottom, it'd be more on the bearing. It's not only space, it's $$. The cheapest spindle sander where I live go for $400.00. That's vs maybe what, $10 for this setup?
@@muskokamike127 Correct. There would be slightly more pressure as you went up, but the bottom bearing would still exert force against the push and no matter where the pressure is on the drum, the bearing would always make the force lines parallel with the shaft and not at an angle which would place enormous pressure on the shaft, bearings, and housing. I'm sorry spindle sanders are so expensive where you are. Harbor Freight's got em for 150. If that's too much, then yes of course the time it takes to set up and put away would be less important than spending the money.
#2: My Bosch drill press came with a fence very similar to this. A pair of them is no match for a decent vise though. If they are not clamped together, you risk pulling the workpiece upwards when releasing the handle, ruining whatever you are working on and possibly the drill bit as well. Always make sure that whatever you are working on is secured to the table. Safety first ladies and gents!
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!!
This is SUPERB! I only have a little shed at the end of our garden but im slowly getting wood tools to convert my van into a camper. I have a table saw so far and loads of hand tools my Father left me. He was amazing at cabinet making and well....anything really. We lost him 2 years ago to the virus but hes taught me well. Your ideas will save me LOADS I wont have to buy a linisher or belt sander now. I also managed to score an antique drill press - but its built like a tank unlike modern ones! I use it with a moticing bit to cut slots its brilliant.
Chris 279 Ever realize that stuff that was invented in my early days or earlier is coming back as something brand new and amazing on some of these sponsor sites? Amazing!
If it really was amazing I'd subscribe, since none of it is................... He's at least thinking which is more than most seem to do today so that deserves a thumbs up.
@@arvinclassics I think he use pliers so the screw are not well tightened, therefore he can move the drill bit plate around easily... Amazing! ;p It was painful to watch I agree
Lost me with the first one. He used a centering bit (stationary) to drill about half an inch into a bolt (which was spinning in the chuck...) and it immediately went off center.
My favorite, was the drill chuck mounted to the table. I can use that technique to put a needle valve in the float bowl bolt, and have adjustable running mixture in my engines. I live at a high altitude, and all my engines run too rich. That drum sander has its possibilities as well. Great video, thanks for posting! All very good ideas.
Just found your channel. I love all the use of wood for making tools/jigs as my old go-to for 'scrap' metal place no longer pulls out the good stuff to sell 'retail'. Buying new steel is expensive,and I can always find wood around my historic district neighbor hood. People are always putting old wood out on the curb from homes that were built in the late 19th and early 20th century. One person's trash and all that.
One of the best (in my opinion) and easiest upgrades you can do to these cheaper lightweight drill presses is to stick a small bottle jack under the front of it's table. Whenever you raise or lower the table just adjust the jack to snug up against the bottom of the table again. It takes all that flex out of it when you're putting a bit of force into drilling something, and it keeps the hole from going a few degrees off vertical.
The clamp on my drill press table is broken so I can't adjust the height very well. I was thinking of a bottle jack or a scissor jack underneath. Great minds think alike!
We just fixed are little 8" drill press today the drill head fell off my older brother thought it had to be epoxy back on, nope we used a sesser jack to press it on put a board under the aluminum table so we would not bend or crack it and press the head back on we have a bigger one the same thing happen to that one I'm guessing we have to do the same thing to that one? I didn't get to look at it only because it's buried in the shop and I can't get to it until brother clears out space in the shop.
An old 1970's Whitecote is what I use. Very, very heavy and so versatile - only £40 2nd hand - I had to fit a new starter, and it works like new. Would not waste my money on a flimsy modern thing like in the video.
The 'one on this vid' is a Ferm.. and though they make it well advertised as a brand, it is very poorly made. No bearings to support the spindle sleeve, so lateral play is huge. And the table flexes like crazy if you're drilling metal. There are locally made ones that are much better. Maybe this person uses it for hobby work. I made a mistake of buying it for our production woodworking team and it died a quick death.. in for warranty repairs now. Stay clear of it people.
Well that has to be a first! A video of "useful ideas" that are actually useful, and practical to make without a full machine shop and professional level skills. Thank you good sir!

With #4 & #5, safety is needed when using a hole saw drill attachment. The saw could easily jam in the woodpiece and cause it to rotate yanking it violently out of your hands. You should always use some kind of clamp or guide (like in #2) to keep the piece stable.
A 10.5mm drill bit through 40mm formwork plywood can do the same. I found out the hard way. Lets just say that the hole was not fit for 12mm threads afterwards...
@@HepauDK Yup, if drilling larger than 3/8" (4mm) and especially if the work piece small enough to handle in your hands, use a clamp. Better spend the time to clamp it, than the time it takes to go to the hospital for broken fingers, or severed ones.
@@korishan 4mm would be about 10/64" (25.4/64*10=3.97). 3/8" is 9.525mm. An inch is 25.4mm. ;) And seriously, adopt the metric system already, it is way simpler to work with than fractions! Your own mistake proves me right. ;)
@@HepauDK I got the conversion from here: analytics-shop.com/us/convert-inches-to-mm However, I looked at the Google search summary and it left off the last column. So it "looked" like 3/8 = 4.3mm And I put both systems for those who don't know what one is ;) I would much rather use metric as it's based 10, everything.
All excellent uses for the drill press! May I ask what glue you use to secure the sand paper to the wood drum? It must be very secure, but also removable. Not sure what's glue is best. Hope you can tell me. Thanks much!
What your drill press needs more than any of these upgrades is a support for the table to mitigate the terrible sagging evident every time you use it. The greatest single benefit to using a drill press is to drill perpendicular with confidence that your hole is indeed perpendicular. This drill's sagging can only produce holes that are not perpendicular to the surface.

Blown away by this guys creativity! This video will go into the archives for sure. Talking about serendipity,... I just bought my first drill press last week! The vertical sanding tool attachment is just brilliant!
For anyone wondering the only real question people ask who want to make homemade spindle sander is what type of glue out of hundreds is just perfect for glueing the sandpaper onto wooden dowel or spindle that isn't to brittle or not strong enough to keep it glued to wood.use contact adhesive.it won't become brittle.and crack the bond and unravel.put it on evenly to both the paper back and spindle .wait until both are tacky.be careful .no repositioning is possible.if done right and waited till perfect tacky ness.
I’m definitely gonna do the drum sander thing. Brilliant! Thanks

However, I looked at the Google search summary and it left off the last column. So it "looked" like 3/8 = 4.3mm
And I put both systems for those who don't know what one is ;)
I would much rather use metric as it's based 10, everything.
What sort of chuck is that? How do you look it up ?
All excellent uses for the drill press! May I ask what glue you use to secure the sand paper to the wood drum? It must be very secure, but also removable. Not sure what's glue is best. Hope you can tell me. Thanks much!
Glad you like that drill press hack. The glue which I used is epoxy adhesive and it is removable with little effort.
What the hell is he making now!! A bit holder, LOL!! Excellent finish to video!
Fantastic....i will do them all.. gonna start with number 5😁 thank you
Wonderful!
Drilling a deep hole with a centre drill 🤦♂️
Some nice ideas, thank you. But using pliers to tighten nuts? Use a spanner or a socket, do it properly.
What your drill press needs more than any of these upgrades is a support for the table to mitigate the terrible sagging evident every time you use it. The greatest single benefit to using a drill press is to drill perpendicular with confidence that your hole is indeed perpendicular. This drill's sagging can only produce holes that are not perpendicular to the surface.
The best use for a drill press is drilling with drill bits because that’s what they are designed for and any other use just destroys the machines!
Excellent demonstration and really cool tips! What diameter threaded rod and bearing do you recommend for the sanding drum? Thanks much.
Do you not own a wrench or a socket? A lot of good ideas but then you proceed to tighten a nut with pliers. Still a very good video.
Nice. Hold onto a short piece of angle only with your hand. Real safe!!!!
Quiero ser el primero en felicitarle, ha demostrado usted una maestria encomiable, el profesional se nota rapido, pero el Artista es de otro estilo, se aprecia enseguida el disfrute en lo que uno hace, y usted ha disfrutado de corazón. Muchas felicidades Maestro.
#3 won a TU from me. I made a table almost exactly like that but never thought about doing a replaceable insert. Nice! 4 and 5 were also nice
Blown away by this guys creativity! This video will go into the archives for sure. Talking about serendipity,... I just bought my first drill press last week! The vertical sanding tool attachment is just brilliant!
Awesome! Thank you!
For anyone wondering the only real question people ask who want to make homemade spindle sander is what type of glue out of hundreds is just perfect for glueing the sandpaper onto wooden dowel or spindle that isn't to brittle or not strong enough to keep it glued to wood.use contact adhesive.it won't become brittle.and crack the bond and unravel.put it on evenly to both the paper back and spindle .wait until both are tacky.be careful .no repositioning is possible.if done right and waited till perfect tacky ness.
My life is going to change now I have watched this video👍👍👍👍🤓🤓⚙
Thanks for the great idea's. We just fix our little 8 " drill press to day. 👍🏽
