Friends: 

It's Sunday afternoon and I could be mowing the lawn or cleaning the gutters, but who wants to do that crap? Instead, the Rex Krueger content machine cranks along. 

Here's part 2 in my Drill Press Basics video series. In this one, I cover about 2 dozen ways to make your drilling safer and more accurate. 

I've included all the tricks I know, but please contribute your own tips in the comments. I love to know how other people handle the same problems. Let's gather all the information we can on this topic. It may not be the most exciting, but it is pretty important. 

The week starts tomorrow. 

Courage!

Love the tip on the centered holes with the handscrew clamps. One thing that always bugs me is taking out smaller drills (bit) without burning my fingers or dropping it. I could see demonstrating changing the speeds, pressing on a chuck, and tightening a chuck helpful in this series.

Oooo. Pressing on a chuck! That's a really good idea. I changed mine a year ago and I was very intimidated by the project until I did it. It was easy. Good idea!

I've been gradually expanding my woodworking, trying to get more and more comfortable with the tools. I try and figure my way around using the table saw because it intimidates me, and the drill press is the same. Videos like this are definitely helpful in my growth.

Terry, the great thing about the drill-press is that it's not very dangerous. A little common sense and some work-holding will protect you from most of the dangers of the tool. The table saw on the other hand is a a total widow-maker. Be so careful around that thing. I have a video on saw safety if that interests you. I'm sure your work will come along really well if your patient and you take it slow.
