Looking to upgrade your workshop? Learn how to build a feature-packed drill press table with easy-to-follow plans from WoodsmithPlans.com.
Adding a custom auxiliary table for your drill press is one of the best ways to boost both precision and versatility. This upgrade offers a larger work surface, a removable insert for clean drilling, and a built-in fence for accurate alignment—essential features for any serious woodworker.
Unique Design for Easier Adjustments
What sets this drill press table apart is its smart design for easier usability. Traditionally, adjusting the height or locking the table in place requires awkward reaching behind the drill press. This upgraded design solves that.
A steel extension rod with handle extends the locking lever to the side. Now, a simple half-turn easily locks or unlocks the table without any struggle.
Front-Mounted Height Adjustment for Convenience
Another key innovation is the repositioning of the table height adjustment crank. By using a second shaft and a set of miter gears, the handle is now located at the front of the table. Adjustments are faster, easier, and don’t require reaching around or below the drill press.
