Early Access Video: Work-holding on the Drill-Press
Added 2018-08-26 19:15:53 +0000 UTCFriends:
It's Sunday afternoon and I could be mowing the lawn or cleaning the gutters, but who wants to do that crap? Instead, the Rex Krueger content machine cranks along.
Here's part 2 in my Drill Press Basics video series. In this one, I cover about 2 dozen ways to make your drilling safer and more accurate.
I've included all the tricks I know, but please contribute your own tips in the comments. I love to know how other people handle the same problems. Let's gather all the information we can on this topic. It may not be the most exciting, but it is pretty important.
The week starts tomorrow.
Courage!

I can do that and I could probably cover it in my next video.

A little common sense and some work-holding will protect you from most of the dangers of the tool. The table saw on the other hand is a a total widow-maker. Be so careful around that thing. I have a video on saw safety if that interests you. I'm sure your work will come along really well if your patient and you take it slow.

2018-08-27 21:24:41 +0000 UTCI've been gradually expanding my woodworking, trying to get more and more comfortable with the tools. I try and figure my way around using the table saw because it intimidates me, and the drill press is the same. Videos like this are definitely helpful in my growth.

I could see demonstrating changing the speeds, pressing on a chuck, and tightening a chuck helpful in this series.
