![]() As requested in the wreck...here's a picture of a drill press cabinet I made. The carcase and drawers are constructed of 3/4" MDF using butt joints and biscuits. The MDF is cheap, and the additional weight over plywood helps counterbalance the top-heavy tool. There is a solid wood brace behind the false drawer front at the top, and the cantilevered back legs are supported by solid wood braces at the back and a solid wood strip across the bottom. The back legs are cantilevered so that if I ever need to drill something really long I can reverse the head and get a couple more feet of height. The drawers are hung on 100lb slides. The cabinet works well, except that since my floor is cracked and not perfectly level I need to be careful how I place the drill press so that it doesn't rock. Chris |
