Ben Strano and I each recognize discovering sensible jigs and setups. When he shared this with me, I knew I needed to pay it ahead. Carmonius Finsnickeri has decked out his drill-press desk with so many good options, and appears to anticipate the entire issues I’ve run into with workholding on the drill press. Using a T-track system and desk mounted C-clamps (sometimes used on welding tables), Carmonius is ready to securely maintain even oddly formed items horizontally and vertically. He makes use of a Makita trim router dust-collection shroud hooked up to a mounting system to catch shavings and mud instantly on the supply.
One of many many sensible options on this desk is the addition of axial bearings the place the knobs lock down the fence. (Extra on how these axial bearings work is in one other YouTube video.) This low-cost addition each applies extra torque with out effort, extending the lifetime of your threads, and retains issues locked in place regardless of vibration. These are the little considerate particulars that excite me concerning the jig-making course of. I hope they do for you too.
Studying by way of the feedback, I discovered an identical product to the table-mounted C-clamps however extra woodworking pleasant: Milescraft provides a padded model that’s already appropriate with a T-track.
