While my JET drill press has a light built in it is not adjustable, just straight down.  Normally that is enough.  The WEN however has no lamp, it does have a laser pointer.  The space in between the two looked tempting.  Also available is a outlet so no searching for power.  Next my friends son wanted to see how to set up for double lap joints so he can try at home.  So brought him in and had him do all the set up and cutting and after an hour he was all smiles. This was his 1st attempt, albeit with help.  

 

 

Nice and tight, went together very smooth with glue as lubricant.  

 

This afternoon we have this.

 

 

Now for test fit as this lamp is not permanent.  I intend to built my own arms and use a 12 volt LED lamp as a later project.  To keep the arms together when stowed away I epoxied a small magnet.  To one of the arms.  Held good.  

 

 

 

This is light set up for the WEN drill press.

 

 

Rotate some and now we have light on the JET drill press.

 

 

Now retracted and out of the way.

 

 

Test fit completed and works as anticipated.  Off to finishing room for a few coats of General Finishes  Arm R Seal semi gloss.  

 

 

 

A quick project that will be a great aid when using drill presses.  

 

 

 

Those are my favorite adjustable lights.  I have half a dozen of them and use them on all mt machines.  I also have them mounted on poles on wheels to use as picture lighting and portable lighting.

You mentioned that somewhere else and so I made up a drawing to make one for my finishing room.  I'll get to building it ....... eventually.  

Nice job Gunny
