Popular Post PeteJr Posted January 24, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 I repurposed my old Craftsman Drill Press with a dedicated tilt top table. This is my first drill press purchased new in the mid 80's and has served me well over the years. I replaced it with a Powermatic PM2800 about 8 years ago but must admit the Craftsman is a quieter and smoother but that's another story. Now the Craftsman is back in service. The Tilt Table is a blend of many ideas so thank you to all those woodworkers posting excellent content these days. The manufactured table top came from Peachtree (older model) and the fence is repurposed from the PM2800. Here are a few pictures. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

..Kev Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 That is cool! Not something I've needed very often but, I can see where it would come in handy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not something I've needed very often but, I can see where it would come in handy! That's exactly my situation. Typically I improvise because tilting and re-squaring the PM2800 table is not my favorite task. The other day I glanced at the Craftsman sitting there unused and decided to put her back into service. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdwerker Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Yet another use for the digital angle cube ! I can imagine that is pretty handy when you need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
