    The Drillpress is Here

    Finally after a 2 week wait due to backorders, the Rikon 30-240 DP we had some fun with a few weeks ago is in place. Even tho I had read the specs on weight, etc., I was not prepared for the mass of the components of this thing. Now I have to figure how to make a table for it.

    Drillpress + Trailer Jack?

    My drillpress was made for production so there is no way to adjust the table height other than manhandling it. It's heavy and precision is not easy without 3 hands. I saw this idea mentioned over at Woodnet and adapted it to fit my needs. The Trailer Jack is a Harbor Freight special with...

    More Tinkering- Drillpress upgrade *w/pics*

    My ongoing effort to upgrade some of my woodworking machines recently focused on my Delta 16 1/2" drillpress. My biggest complaint was changing speeds. Since I am a tinkerer I drill both wood and metal which require drastically different speeds. Changing belts was always a pain, especially if...
