I like what you made WoodButch, and I may do the same or something similar. If I do, I'm going to turn it 90 depress on the table so the drill press column can't get in the way of the product to be drilled. Edited March 13, 20197 yr by CharlieL
March 14, 20197 yr I worked on the drill press jig today, I got the material cut up and drilled. It needs to be welded, sand blasted and painted yet. Edited March 14, 20197 yr by CharlieL
March 14, 20197 yr Progress, so far I'm happy. Thinking about painting it a gray, a color that won't show dust as much as black does. Edited March 14, 20197 yr by CharlieL

March 15, 20197 yr Didn't read all the responses, but the way I'd do this is to drill the hole first, then put the holes on lathe centers.
