    Default Drill press stuff

    Hi guys, I was wondering, as I'm new to the whole big woodwork machinery, I was wondering if someone could tell me what these pieces are and how they are used. They were given to me when I got an old drill press.

    Thank you!

    That kit is essentially a clamping kit used to hold down jobs on machines like a milling machine. There are "Tee nuts" that slide in slots to give flexibility to hold down a job no matter the size or shape. These things aren't usually associated with a Drill Press mainly because of the absence of the slots to hold them.
    Just do it!

    Kind regards Rod

    I was given them when I recieved a waldown drill press. Are these worthwhile keeping? Thank you for your reply!

    Definitely worth keeping, they're quite handy once you get the hang of them.
