Square up Your Drill Press Table
George VondriskaDescription
In order to have a better gauge as to whether your drill press table is perpendicular to the travel path of the chuck, you will want to take a few simple steps:
Fashion a simple gauge. George will explain how to create your own testing tool that can be fashioned from material that you probably already have in your shop.
Install and use the simple gauge. The gauge will be installed in your drill press chuck in the same way that you would install a standard drill bit.
Follow the steps and check for square. This approach will give you much greater precision than other methods, and will allow you to make tiny adjustments to the table’s angle as you “sneak up” on the desired perpendicular condition.
After you get your drill press dialed in, you will enjoy the precision that it will deliver. Perhaps this will inspire you to explore some additional tool-related videos to help you to better understand how to make the most of the tools that you have in your shop.
