Drill press table?

[Masterjuggler]

I had no idea that facebook marketplace existed haha. It seems to be used even more than craigslist and generally cheaper for tools too, just looking at what's up for sale right now. I'll definitely keep an eye out for something that looks good, thanks for the tip!

I'm sure you guys would agree, it's an awful shame to let a tool like the little HF drill press go to waste.It would be cool to turn it into something else. I don't have the space to have two of the same tool, but I can make excuses if it's a different tool If all else fails I can always take the good parts like the motor, switch, and pulleys. I'd much rather harvest parts than sell it for the pocket change I'd probably get for it.

Not that I've given up on the idea of making this drill press better THAT easily, just that I agree I'd probably be better off putting my time into a used good one. This HF press has worked for the past few years and has been good to me, so definitely not trash. I also think it could be fun to make an all-wood column and table, for kicks and giggles if nothing else. I finally got a router off craigslist last week to add miter slots to my table saw, so I've been looking for things to do with the saw. Made a crosscut sled of course and have other jigs planned. It also needs dust collection, arbor truing, a router lift, and a fence made with wood actually cut square. I've got a long list of things I want to do before summer's out and I go back to college for the cold months.
