Table saw cabinet construction.

 The base carcass is complete. The casters are installed and ready to turn it over.



 The sides of the dust collection system are installed. The ramp is put into place so the saw dust will fall to the port once it is installed later in the process.



 
The rough outline is cut out  with a jig saw.
The opening is then cleaned up using my router and a trim bit.

Drill Press table

I really like my drill press but I realized that the metal table that it came with wasn't adequate. That's why I started searching for a solution for the problem.  After watching many videos on YouTube I came up with a table that I liked. 

I used 2 pieces of ¾ inch Poplar plywood 17 ½ X 24 inches sandwiched together.  On the underside I cut two dados to fit the Kreg mini track in to connect it to the drill press table.  On the top side I cut two more dados for the adjustable fence. Since I had some scrap Red Oak in my shop I used some to edge band  the top to hide the plywood edge. I then made the fence from two pieces of the Poplar 3 x 24 connected together with pocket holes.

I am happy with how it turned out and look forward to using it on many projects.
