A while ago I found a drill press in our shed, wrapped in plastic. It didn't have a stand or anything though so I put it on the work bench. Recently, a frame became available after the bird cage that it was supporting was seriously
upgraded. I quickly put the pieces of this simple puzzle together and hence this blog gets a new entry!
So there were a drill press and a frame. I also found a piece of 4 cm thick wood. Just chipboard but really strong. It had a workable size already, I didn't even have to cut it. How convenient is that?
These are the only things I had to buy: 6 angle brackets and 2 M10 nuts and bolts.
Use the 6 angle brackets to firmly mount the wood to the frame and you end up with a table.
Then use the M10 nuts and bolts to fix the drill press on to the table and you have a nice drill press stand.
