#2: My Bosch drill press came with a fence very similar to this. A pair of them is no match for a decent vise though. If they are not clamped together, you risk pulling the workpiece upwards when releasing the handle, ruining whatever you are working on and possibly the drill bit as well. Always make sure that whatever you are working on is secured to the table. Safety first ladies and gents!

Some really good and creative ideas there... A few things to keep in mind though. Drill chucks and drill press spindle bearings are not designed to take side (cross axial) loads. The drum sander attachment is a very creative idea, and it clearly works, but I wouldn't use your drill press in that configuration exclusively as it'll greatly shorten the life of your spindle bearings. This is especially true of the inexpensive (cheap) bench top drill presses out there. The double drill chuck idea is fantastic... As a few others have commented, clamp a short length of steel rod in both chucks before tightening down the drill chuck on the drill press table. This will align the table chuck to the spindle chuck much more accurately, allowing you to drill concentric holes more accurately. Again... Some really creative ideas here, just keep the limitations of the machine in mind.

I've used mine for years with drum sanding bits attached to it. I haven't noticed any issues with the bearings wearing out and losing accuracy. You are correct however, the bearings aren't designed for lateral loads. If you think sanding is bad, I know a metal worker who couldn't afford a mill so he used his drill press. He bought a cheap chinese slide table and mounted it and used it for a couple of years until he saved enough for a mill.
@muskokamike1273 жыл бұрын
Putting a bearing at the bottom and using the drum closest to that bearing takes a LOT of stress off the drill. I doubt very much it's even feeling any sideways pressure from that setup. I had something similar before I got a spindle sander. The only beef I have with it is I firmly believe dedicated tools is the way to go if you have enough room. Needing to set it up and take it down because I use the drill press for so many other things takes too much time for me. I bought that spindle sander years ago and I *still* think "this is so much nicer than setting up and taking down that drill press thing." But I should also say I gave the drill press spindle sander to another woodworker who then used it to death and built another one because he's short on room and put a planer where the spindle sander would have gone. So, there's that.
@danc22343 жыл бұрын
@@danc2234 The pressure would depend on what part of the spindle or drum you're sanding against. If you're using the top third, it would be more on the drill. If you're using the bottom, it'd be more on the bearing. It's not only space, it's $$. The cheapest spindle sander where I live go for $400.00. That's vs maybe what, $10 for this setup?
@muskokamike1273 жыл бұрын
@@muskokamike127 Correct. There would be slightly more pressure as you went up, but the bottom bearing would still exert force against the push and no matter where the pressure is on the drum, the bearing would always make the force lines parallel with the shaft and not at an angle which would place enormous pressure on the shaft, bearings, and housing. I'm sorry spindle sanders are so expensive where you are. Harbor Freight's got em for 150. If that's too much, then yes of course the time it takes to set up and put away would be less important than spending the money.

This press has worked like a charm for my projects kzhead.infoUgkxajoEbapTfqWaadnqb04h6U576yxXp-FE . I didn't even secure it to my table top, mainly due to the fact that I was using a 15 lbs drill vise. It's not flimsy at all as to what others have claimed it to be. Make sure the locking nuts and levers are secured and there won't be any issues with light pressure and patience. I was able to drill through aluminum, plastic, and steel (steel took a while) with no problems at all. Yeah it took a little longer than a regular drill press, but I don't have the space OR the money for one.The instruction manual was worthless, but luckily assembling the press was intuitive. However, the manual would be good for ordering replacement parts if needed. There is a nice breakdown of the parts that are included in the kit. Before ordering, make sure it is compatible with your unit, it is clearly stated what models the press is compatible with.This was an excellent purchase for $40!!

A short length of steel rod would be enough and provided the drill press spindle is relatively perpendicular to the table, you'd be centered/concentric within 0.005" or so from drill chuck to drill chuck.

One of the best (in my opinion) and easiest upgrades you can do to these cheaper lightweight drill presses is to stick a small bottle jack under the front of it's table. Whenever you raise or lower the table just adjust the jack to snug up against the bottom of the table again. It takes all that flex out of it when you're putting a bit of force into drilling something, and it keeps the hole from going a few degrees off vertical.

The drum sander attachment is a very creative idea, and it clearly works, but I wouldn't use your drill press in that configuration exclusively as it'll greatly shorten the life of your spindle bearings. This is especially true of the inexpensive (cheap) bench top drill presses out there. The double drill chuck idea is fantastic... As a few others have commented, clamp a short length of steel rod in both chucks before tightening down the drill chuck on the drill press table. This will align the table chuck to the spindle chuck much more accurately, allowing you to drill concentric holes more accurately. Again... Some really creative ideas here, just keep the limitations of the machine in mind.

So, there's that.

If you're using the bottom, it'd be more on the bearing. It's not only space, it's $$. The cheapest spindle sander where I live go for $400.00. That's vs maybe what, $10 for this setup?
@@muskokamike127 Correct. There would be slightly more pressure as you went up, but the bottom bearing would still exert force against the push and no matter where the pressure is on the drum, the bearing would always make the force lines parallel with the shaft and not at an angle which would place enormous pressure on the shaft, bearings, and housing. I'm sorry spindle sanders are so expensive where you are. Harbor Freight's got em for 150. If that's too much, then yes of course the time it takes to set up and put away would be less important than spending the money.
This press has worked like a charm for my projects kzhead.infoUgkxajoEbapTfqWaadnqb04h6U576yxXp-FE . I didn't even secure it to my table top, mainly due to the fact that I was using a 15 lbs drill vise. It's not flimsy at all as to what others have claimed it to be. Make sure the locking nuts and levers are secured and there won't be any issues with light pressure and patience. I was able to drill through aluminum, plastic, and steel (steel took a while) with no problems at all. Yeah it took a little longer than a regular drill press, but I don't have the space OR the money for one.The instruction manual was worthless, but luckily assembling the press was intuitive. However, the manual would be good for ordering replacement parts if needed. There is a nice breakdown of the parts that are included in the kit. Before ordering, make sure it is compatible with your unit, it is clearly stated what models the press is compatible with.This was an excellent purchase for $40!!
My favorite, was the drill chuck mounted to the table. I can use that technique to put a needle valve in the float bowl bolt, and have adjustable running mixture in my engines. I live at a high altitude, and all my engines run too rich. That drum sander has its possibilities as well. Great video, thanks for posting! All very good ideas.
Hey, that's pretty smart... Did it work without leaking any fuel?
I have no idea why this video has any thumbs down. That's ridiculous. This video is great. I'm definitely building the sander this afternoon.
When spinning a wire brush in a drill press, always wear eye, and preferably full face protection. I speak from experience, people.
Absolutely! Definitely a full face shield.
And a shirt preferably a thick one, experience not from a drill press but a angle grinder
Also, hope you follow the driving rules e.g. use blinkers when making a turn, no speeding, etc.! It’s just that I’m tired of reiterating what you said, because I’ve professed the same thing (wear the same shoes as you). I guess it’s a COVID thing... people will do what they want to, no matter what! A coworker who worked on the Saturn 5 rocket, after screwing up (@ home) replied to his father, “but dad, I’m only human” & his dad replied, “unfortunately, son ...some people are more human than others “
@@SuperSpecialty I agree with your sensible comments on machine safety. However, anyone gullible enough to believe their TV rather than using their common sense in the real world is just wilfully ignorant, or, as Forrest Gump said "Stupid is, as stupid does."
Or a dremel, or a hand drill. Don't use wire brushes on bbq's either. Wires come off and get on food all the time. Buddy went to the er and they said it was very common
All diy videos should be like this...action speaks louder than words! It’s about the project, not the narcissistic individuals.
A drill press as a vertical lathe. Genius in its simplicity.
This is SUPERB! I only have a little shed at the end of our garden but im slowly getting wood tools to convert my van into a camper. I have a table saw so far and loads of hand tools my Father left me. He was amazing at cabinet making and well....anything really. We lost him 2 years ago to the virus but hes taught me well. Your ideas will save me LOADS I wont have to buy a linisher or belt sander now. I also managed to score an antique drill press - but its built like a tank unlike modern ones! I use it with a moticing bit to cut slots its brilliant.
When using a chuck on the work table, i'd recommend holding onto a pin with both chucks when tightening the table chuck to ensure concentricity between them.
Exactly... A short length of steel rod would be enough and provided the drill press spindle is relatively perpendicular to the table, you'd be centered/concentric within 0.005" or so from drill chuck to drill chuck. It's a clever idea... Even though I've been machining parts on mills and lathes for 30 odd years, I'm embarrassed to say that I've never thought of this myself! I've always used rotary tables or some means of holding a collet holder in a vise or a fixture mounted to the milling table. Learn something new and helpful every day!
Lol your sutch a Jeff 🤣
He had the right idea, spinning the work piece, and holding the bid stationary. that centers the hole much better.
Bingo that’s why I came here. I use a drill bit. Then tighten up the lower chuck. Perfect alignment every time.
Yup, works with a mill and a dividing head too if you don’t need dead on accuracy.
I did the second idea from your video but I also did a vertical slide mount on both l brackets as an added security measure to hold the part that I'm drilling tightly to the table. Awesome video as always 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻 thank you for sharing and giving us more awesome ideas.
Thanks for your nice suggestion..
Just brought a pillar drill today and this video shows up on KZhead. Great idea's thanks
Bhai tu apna ek number ka desi woodworker hai !! Tuze sur tere skills ko naman 🙏🙏
Thank you. I needed a drill press vise but #2 seems a suitable option.
#3 won a TU from me. I made a table almost exactly like that but never thought about doing a replaceable insert. Nice! 4 and 5 were also nice
This is just the kind of Engineering I'm into!
The drum sander and wire brush ideas are excellent. Eye/face protection is definitely a must. Great video. Thanks.
Thanks for the tips sir. Be safe. Peace.🇺🇸
I did not expect these to be so elaborate. I've used a DP for years and will be using these now. Thanks.
You've been DP'ed for years?! 😲
Get an older craftsman 150 dp from 1950 and search ebay for all the different attachments and different chucks they made for it and you can do all this and a lot more. Even take the head casting off, flip it upside down put it back on UNDER the table and stick a router bit in it and use it as a shaper...
Love the double chuck idea. I will pick up another chuck and align them using a metal rod that is 100% straight the attach it to the table. Keep up the food work.
PARABÉNS, só ideias que facilitam o trabalho 😘 Abraço aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷
Every once in a while I run across videos that deliver on the promise made in the title. This is one of them. Definitely worth watching! 👍
Quiero ser el primero en felicitarle, ha demostrado usted una maestria encomiable, el profesional se nota rapido, pero el Artista es de otro estilo, se aprecia enseguida el disfrute en lo que uno hace, y usted ha disfrutado de corazón. Muchas felicidades Maestro.
Some very nice ideas, thanks!
Liked the last one, may try it
thanks for sharing your ideas. lots of cool stuff here. love the double chuck!
Great idea using a second chuck on the table. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the great idea's. We just fix our little 8 " drill press to day. 👍🏽
Excellent ideas, thank you for showing this
You are so welcome!
One of the best (in my opinion) and easiest upgrades you can do to these cheaper lightweight drill presses is to stick a small bottle jack under the front of it's table. Whenever you raise or lower the table just adjust the jack to snug up against the bottom of the table again. It takes all that flex out of it when you're putting a bit of force into drilling something, and it keeps the hole from going a few degrees off vertical.
The clamp on my drill press table is broken so I can't adjust the height very well. I was thinking of a bottle jack or a scissor jack underneath. Great minds think alike!
We just fixed are little 8" drill press today the drill head fell off my older brother thought it had to be epoxy back on, nope we used a sesser jack to press it on put a board under the aluminum table so we would not bend or crack it and press the head back on we have a bigger one the same thing happen to that one I'm guessing we have to do the same thing to that one? I didn't get to look at it only because it's buried in the shop and I can't get to it until brother clears out space in the shop.
Amazing ideas. After watching this video I'm putting aside the idea of buying a lathe and sander.
Thanks for sharing your video. I enjoyed watching. Take care and God Bless.
Precision drilling not so much but your ideas are dead center. Thank you for sharing.
The vid gives you the idea, it is up to the viewer to use it to their advantage. Idea #1 was my hand to forehead smacker. Thanks.!
Some nice ideas, thank you. But using pliers to tighten nuts? Use a spanner or a socket, do it properly.
Just found your channel. I love all the use of wood for making tools/jigs as my old go-to for 'scrap' metal place no longer pulls out the good stuff to sell 'retail'. Buying new steel is expensive,and I can always find wood around my historic district neighbor hood. People are always putting old wood out on the curb from homes that were built in the late 19th and early 20th century. One person's trash and all that.
Welcome aboard! Thank you...
Smart idea I love it ! Thanks for sharing !
I like the double Chuck method 👍🇬🇧
Yes me too. You could use it kind of like a mini lathe using files as tools.
#5 is flippin brilliant, thank you!
Blown away by this guys creativity! This video will go into the archives for sure. Talking about serendipity,... I just bought my first drill press last week! The vertical sanding tool attachment is just brilliant!
Awesome! Thank you!
Exelente vídeo... parabéns!!! Grato pelas ideias!!!
Well done ,an arrangement of useful ideas worth making.
Very clever ! Try this, thank you
I like the sacrificial insert in the drill press table, thank you
Anyone else realize the word “amazing” these days is just a euphemism for “click bait”
Chris 279 Ever realize that stuff that was invented in my early days or earlier is coming back as something brand new and amazing on some of these sponsor sites? Amazing!
A list of obvious modifications. He lost me by using a pair of pliers to 'tighten' the nuts.
If it really was amazing I'd subscribe, since none of it is................... He's at least thinking which is more than most seem to do today so that deserves a thumbs up.
@@arvinclassics I think he use pliers so the screw are not well tightened, therefore he can move the drill bit plate around easily... Amazing! ;p It was painful to watch I agree
Lost me with the first one. He used a centering bit (stationary) to drill about half an inch into a bolt (which was spinning in the chuck...) and it immediately went off center.
Great and simple ideas! Thank you for posting.
The first one can be improved by reversing the drill bit & work piece. Put the drill bit in the table mounted chuck, and chuck the work piece in the drill. It will automatically self-center the resulting drilled hole.
Great ideas. Definitely going to use the idea with the chuck in the base of the drill press.
You did a great job. I commend you on all of your ideas.
Well that has to be a first! A video of "useful ideas" that are actually useful, and practical to make without a full machine shop and professional level skills. Thank you good sir!
Excellent demonstration and really cool tips! What diameter threaded rod and bearing do you recommend for the sanding drum? Thanks much.
Just great ideas..... as son as i got my driil press i'll try your ideas.
Nice innovative and functional ideas. Thanks for sharing.
never thought of the chuck in the table trick..good one
I like the drill press sander. Oh and the Snoop Dog (like) soundtrack
Drilling a deep hole with a centre drill 🤦♂️
Great ideas! But dont hold any piece of material whilst drilling, its an easy way to break fingers also dont leave the chuck key in the chuck to avoid it smacking you in the face!!
Молодец дружище. Толковые поделки, есть что для себя перенять.
Always remember to wear your bead safety bracelet when using power tools!
Wow, next time I want to wire brush my shaft I’ll have to try this....🤣
Excellente!!! Una pregunta: Que marca de taladro y modelo es tu taladro que usaste??¡
Such nice workmanship...tightens hex nuts with a pair of pliers?
All those great power tools and no spanners ?
GREAT IDEAS THANKS
Very nice, thanks !
Thanks, man. Especially the first one (2nd drill chuck through the center hole) is a good one for me, as I have no low profile vise for my drill press stand yet. (Needed a way to - as you did - drill out the center of a bolt) The other ideas are nice as well - the 'vise' that's just 90° profiles. Might try that one too. Gotta see if I have something sturdy enough (:
Watched more than a couple of vids like this. Anyone know why I would want to drill a hoie down the center of a bolt?
One of the better Amazing videos on the Tube.
Brilliant ideas sir ! Good job.
Very useful tips. Thanks
Amazing if you need off center holes and imprecise work.
Very clever ideas!!! Thank you so much!
9:35 for godsakes get a wrench
at 3:00 as well.
Who the hell has a bench drill before they have a set of spanners?
@@ibast1 A spanner.
Amazing and useful ways to tighten up your nuts on your amazing and useful ideas video. Use a spanner! 😳 OMG this ring end fits too! Amazing!
@@ibast1 same guy who wears namaste beads in the shop.
Great ideas for woodworking problems. There are videos on using a drill press for light metal milling too.
Great idea
I;m headed to the shop right now...great ideas! Thanks
Hope you enjoy!
Do you not own a wrench or a socket? A lot of good ideas but then you proceed to tighten a nut with pliers. Still a very good video.
Why is that these days just about everything on KZhead is AMAZING?
Is there a video for the saw jig guide that looks great
Great Ideas, TY!
Thanks for the sharing.👍🍺👋
Thanks for watching!
Nice. Hold onto a short piece of angle only with your hand. Real safe!!!!
I dig it big time I am definitely going to do this. you sir either have one fancy shop or your shop is in your living room .....
Useful ideas. Thanks for sharing.
can i know the oil name which you are insert while drilling?
Some great idea's for a drill press thanks !
All excellent uses for the drill press! May I ask what glue you use to secure the sand paper to the wood drum? It must be very secure, but also removable. Not sure what's glue is best. Hope you can tell me. Thanks much!
Glad you like that drill press hack. The glue which I used is epoxy adhesive and it is removable with little effort.
Loved everyone of those ideas! Thanks for the share!
Wow absolutely brilliant thank you
What the hell is he making now!! A bit holder, LOL!! Excellent finish to video!
I like your ideas and hope the views get you a better setup because that drill-press is just holding together and you need some spanners thank you.
Too think I have done many of these operations on a mill for years (with significantly more setup time.). Very informative and efficient for projects that don’t need that accuracy and aren’t worth the setup time.
But I’ll bet the milling machine didn’t smoke the bearings or drive motor in the process either!
@@donaldfrazier5244 well depends. On a good day the Fadals don’t smoke anything but on bad one’s they smoke everything lol
Great ideas!
wow! great picks
Flimsy drill press, the table bends under normal drilling pressure.
An old 1970's Whitecote is what I use. Very, very heavy and so versatile - only £40 2nd hand - I had to fit a new starter, and it works like new. Would not waste my money on a flimsy modern thing like in the video.
The 'one on this vid' is a Ferm.. and though they make it well advertised as a brand, it is very poorly made. No bearings to support the spindle sleeve, so lateral play is huge. And the table flexes like crazy if you're drilling metal. There are locally made ones that are much better. Maybe this person uses it for hobby work. I made a mistake of buying it for our production woodworking team and it died a quick death.. in for warranty repairs now. Stay clear of it people.
The drum sander is a really good one. Thanks.
Thank you..
Add a foot pedal (or electric motor and bellcrank) to number 4 and turn it into an oscillating spindle sander.
Good idea about fitting a chuck in PD base and using as a vertical lathe. Wouldn't recommend putting cutting tool in bottom check though as cutting oil will always run off tool. Better other way up. Brilliant idea the drum sander, I should patent that idea before someone else does. The cutting tool block would be better in nylon block , but you are a true craftsman, keep it up. 👍👍👍 BTW, buy yourself some spanners 😄
They should rename it "How to drill an off-center hole". The drum sander was awesome, tho.
Nice ideas.
