Rolling Drill Press Cart
Looking to build the above for my Delta 12" drill press.
So far I've found nothing worthwhile through the net. Can anyone suggest some link(s) where I might find some free plans on-line specific to what I'm looking for? Thank You, Rick |

No plans, just a tape measure and winged it. |

Thank You, Rick I kept a drill press on a base made from one pedestal of drawers from an old steel office desk. it weighed a ton and had plenty of space in it for storage of drill press stuff. |

I would watch the Sears ads for a rolling tool cabinet on sale. Last week
they had one with I believe 4 drawers for around $59.00. That's less than the material cost of building one with nice plywood. Gene "Scaramouche" wrote in message m...

Try this, Mount a piece of 3/4 plywood to the top of a small roll around
tool box from Sears (or wherever you want). Mount the drill press to the plywood. My brother-in-law loves it. Dave "Scaramouche" wrote in message m...

Thank You, Rick Look up in your library catalog for: Building Woodshop Workstations by Danny Proulx. There is something there you can use. If your library system hasn't the book, use the WorldNet search that checks outside the local library system. There is an inter-library checkout system. I've checked out woodworking books from as far as 3,000 miles away from Calif. Thunder |

The Delta 12" DP is pretty heavy. Regards, Rick |

Considering the weight of the tools I have in several of those boxes, the 12" DP would be nothing. You can get one for under $75 until tomorrow. Barry |
