Making consistent spaced holes on Drill Press
Set your fence to the proper distance. Use a 2x4 with clamps for this. Lay
out two holes appropriately spaced on the stock. Drill the first hole. Move
it over and line up for the second hole. Clamp in place. Put a dowel in the
previously drilled hole. Put a piece of scrap with the same size hole over
that dowel and attach it to the fence. Drill second hole, pull dowel, move
it so dowel drops into hole and drill another. Continue on for as many as
you like.

I am looking for a good way to make consistently spaced holes on
drill press. I need to make about 20 holes 1/2 inch apart in a
straight line. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Joe
