"Want to learn how to handle power tools safely? Learn the safe handling of power tools while building your own tool box.

In this WorkSpace Safety course, you will receive training on the safe usage of the following tools: #BandSaw, #TableSaw, #MitreSaw, #DrillPress, drill, and belt & disc #sander. You will have ample time to try out each tool, with the result being the creation of your very own toolbox.

This course is required for anyone who wants to use the above listed tools in our #WorkSpace.

Every workshop attendee gets a free 3 hour pass to our WorkSpace (value $26). Pass needs to be used within one month of this workshop.

Please dress appropriately for working in a woodshop: closed-toe shoes, hair tied in the back, and no loose clothing. It's important to be on time for this workshop as this is a safety course and all information is important. Late arrivals may not be able to join.

For more information on our WorkSpace and when you can use it to work on your projects, check out our webpage."

Then mark with laser engraved template before using the new tilting table on our drill press. Students will also have the option to create a finished edge to their block with our router and laser engrave labels for a standard sketching pencil set on the block - or go wild and give their block a personality with a face and crazy pencil hair!"

At some point the amount I spend on replacing broken drill bits will surpass the amount it would cost to buy a drill press 🙄

Our Weldinger drill press has been in the Lab for a fewe months now and it's doing great! Stepless speed control, digital height display, and a cross-hatch laser make it super handy and precise. Much more fun to use than our old model!

Just a quick look on that old type plate tells me that this drill press has seen some ....

Something different today.

I got a drill-press jig for my dremel that allows me to drill straight holes through things.
This is good enough in itself.

It also allows you to mount the dremel sideways...

but, there's no included surface for keeping things straight when sideways.

So I made one.

It can adjust up and down with the dremel, and can move towards and away from the dremel.

And it includes a sled for moving things under the tool.
