Drill Press

When your woodworking plans call for holes to be drilled in pieces of stock, you could certainly use a hand-operated power drill or cordless drill. However, if precision is a concern or if you have large-diameter holes to drill, you should consider using a drill press.When you need to drill holes in the same spot of a number of pieces of stock, try clamping a fence with a stop block in position on the table of the drill press. In this manner, you simply place each piece of stock against the stop block and drill the hole.

When you need to drill a hole in a round piece of stock such as a turned leg or dowel, try making a v-shaped jig to hold the stock in place while drilling.

If you need to cut small pieces of metal on your drill press, try securing the piece of metal to the table with a drill press vise. This will prevent the work piece from moving while it is drilled.
