A Better Table for a Drill Press

Nice!

What had got my attention on the recent Woodsmith table was the fence that pivoted.  Pivot point on one end and the other end has a bolt that moves along a curved slot in the table.  Looks to be a new 2018 plan.  They also have a Youtube video that shows the entire construction process.

"They" as in WS? If so, I saw that one pop up on my Recommended List a few days ago.

I haven't watched it yet, but assumed it was new. I'll take a look tonight if I can stay awake.

Yes. the WS folks did the video with each one of the guys doing a part of the build.

This is an older one, but complements the first.

Moved topic out of Woodworking Tips to Woodworking

Moved topic out of Woodworking Tips to Woodworking

Why?

Gene, the original intent of the tips forum was for you all to submit tips originating in your own shops. 

I would like to avoid links to outside sites demonstrating tips, but rather tips that are unique to our members here. Anyone can search tips on Google, why come to the tips forum, just to be redirected off-site?

Otherwise we'll have a tips forum full of links. 

But, these forums belong to you all. I am always open to suggestions.

Woops, I just remembered why I moved this. The original topic was not a tip, it was a question. But my previous reply stands 

I see, now. Makes good sense.

@Dadio, HF has them for much less and, they work fine. 

Go HF.

Go HF.

We always called them "Boeing clamps" as they use them extensively on the jigs in their production lines for clamping parts together for assembly. Also the would show up at Boeing Surplus store in big tubs well used  for sale.

This is the one I made for my the old Atlas DP.  Disregard the battery in the back that is to operate the HF trailer hitch jack to raise and lower the table.

 

 

I am interested in how you adapted that trailer jack to your drill press.  I have an old drill press that I would like to do the same thing to.

I've got the BB ply and hardboard all cut and ready to go.  I bought a can of 3M 90 Contact Adhesive. My workshop is in the basement and cool this time of year.  I haven't been able to locate the recommended temperature range for applying this adhesive.  The basement is around 60 degrees.  I could bring everything into the heated part of my house but hesitant to do any spraying in the living area.  Is this a legit concern?  I've never used this product before.  I suppose I could warm the work area with portable heaters which I would turn off before doing any spraying. 

I'd think 60° would be fine. For a permanent bond, spray both surfaces and let them get tacky. This method is somewhat like applying contact cement for plastic laminate. You only get one chance at alignment. I use a few small dowels to span the work. After it's aligned, remove the center one and stick the parts together at that point. Work out from there. I use a brayer to insure a good bond.

You're right, I could not easily locate recommended application temperature either. I did find the recommended storage temperatures which typically equate to usage temperatures. At 60^o F, the only detriment I see might be an extended dry time but IMO, shouldn't affect the adhesion quality. Vapors are listed as Flammable so no open flame/element heat source (water heater/furnace etc) should be used while spraying. Personally, I wouldn't use in a living area if for no other reason containment of over-spray.

Thank You.  I've practiced my alignment technique on a dry fit.....so naturally when I 'go live' I'll mess it up.  I knew what a J Roller is but had never heard the term 'brayer'.  Googled it and will pick one up.
