A part from drilling holes that is. I have a big drill press and a mill inside.
It was given to me and been sitting on my out side bench for the last couple of years, got rained on the last the last couple of time, the rain has never came that way before.
I need the space on the bench and I know if I get rid of it I will need it the next day.:funny:

Make up a box for dust extraction to fit the table and use it as a spindle sander like I use mine for. I made some inserts for different sized sanding drums the box certainly takes the dust away

I dedicated aq small drill to holding a horsehair brush to use after Black Bison polish on bowls etc turned from Burl. My Professional mate has used this for donkeys it is spectacular.

I made one for my big drill press, not as neat as yours.
Just wondering how you clamped yours to your table?

One thing I would change is the way I put the sides in so that along the side facing you in the photo had a clear run from front to back to allow for a fence system.

The fixings I used to secure it to the table are THESE which I put in during assembly lining them up with the slots and then bolts from the underside

Do you mean in the second pic, you would have the end where the vac hose is you wold have that flush to the top and bottom?

It would be like the front so the top lip is obstructed so that you can make a clamp which can slid the full length of the side for a fence at each end see construction picture without top fitted to see how the supports will be located left is how it is on mine and right how I would remake it if I have to.

The second picture is just the top with a simple drawing of the fence and the wrap around clamp.
