 hey welcome back to small workshop guys small workshop what i'm going to discuss with you today or show you today is my drill press table that i just built using the match fit dovetail plant probe so how did i construct this i'm not going to show you the build but uh the way this system works is you put dovetail grooves into work pieces and you can cut channels and then put as many as you want then these micro fit clamps fit into those dovetail grooves are pretty flexible you can move them where you need them so i i think i took a piece of wood that was maybe 17 inches by 14 inches and it kind of goes along with my wind drill press uh so i cut it rectangular piece using half inch plywood i then um on the one piece before i laminated them together i cut out a square four inches by four inches dimensions wouldn't matter and i have it designed in a place on the board where the drill press would come down in a corner of this four by four now this is replaceable so when you use it as a sacrificial and it's worn out in one corner then just pick it up and because it's square rotate it when that gets worn out pick it up rotate it probably flip it over as well uh depends how far down you go when you do your drilling and uh at the same time i went ahead and make myself about 10 of these spares so that's pretty cool now the uh drill press pieces apply wood together then when they one quarter inch straight bit five sixteenths of an inch i drilled kind of all of these relief holes and the whole idea of that was to ease up on the uh stress on the dovetail bit when i go back in and use that so you do uh with a quarter inch straight bit you do slots and then you come back in and you use your uh this kit and you go a little deeper and it's of course a little bit wider and then that gives you these uh dovetail slots my basic table on the bottom so that i could use these same clamps to secure this to my drill press you can go as far in as you want with that kit which are designed to fit into these dovetail grooves and so i can use these put it my fence where i want it to be slide it back if i wanted to so by doing a whole series of my dovetail slots here then i have a lot of flexibility where i put my fence let me bring the uh drill press table over and have you take a look at okay allow me to demonstrate so we've got the with the offset uh sacrificial piece so that can be rotated we have the for the fence it's just a piece of wood and i just got a uh mortise all the way through that with a quarter inch uplift bit and then i offset it a little bit to make that just a little bit wider to accommodate these devices now i can move my fence however i want it and lock it down by just uh closing it up the beauty here if you're not having to use a t-tracks of all sorts of different sizes these little devices came as part of that kit you can start to do the dovetail slots in a lot of different jigs throughout your workshop and then use these set of clamps the major advantage is the ability to have the clamps be out of your way low profile you know sometimes when you use regular clamps cheaper clamps and you just hook them on your table then they're in the way of something this is clear i don't by using one of these dovetail slots down here and one of these uh clamps then it's totally out of the way not in my way anywhere so i put my piece up here i do my uh my drilling if i want to hold that in place for more security then i slide in the clamp drop her down tighten her up and things with my hands and stuff because i've got all these different tracks then i have a lot of flexibility as to where i put that clamp now one thing i did do to clear the handle on the for lower as i did take out a little rectangular chunk here out of the back right side so that my handle doesn't hit anything so that's my uh micro jig match fit dovetail clamp drill press table pretty excited to use it because i have always struggled with clamping things in various places with my old table you're the only thing i don't like about this package which comes with the dovetail bit comes with a little measuring device for various uses in relationship to this comes with six pieces to hold things down that all fit into those slots you got three different pairs of different designs so that's what comes as well as the two clamps what i don't like about it is the price uh i think this package right here was almost 90 dollars uh and i just had two clamps and then to get two more clamps is going to cost me about 45 dollars and uh because i'm going to use it for so many things uh system wise then i'm going to have at least four of these clamps around and you don't have to leave Mary you can take this off here and put it somewhere else uh move them around where you need them i hope uh that maybe gives you some ideas about a drill press table for yourself small workshop guy signing off
