Quite often I need to drill holes at set positions and a good example of that is when drilling the 35mm hole for concealed hinges. The standard drill press circular table is difficult to set up with a fence and it offers little support for large work pieces such as cabinet doors.
I saw this years ago in a woodworking magazine and adapted it to my drill press. As you can see in the following photo there is ample support and the fence is adjustable by sliding in the grooves and it is secured by tightening with wing nuts underneath. I have a few fences made to suport work on edge as well as flat.
In the next post I will show the underside and how it secures to the rotary table of the drill press.
cheers,
Rod
