Very functional. Well done.
The angle table od probably the first thing I need to accessorize with.
My table does tilt to 90, but the "zero" pin is slightly off so after I get it perpendicular to the quill (dial indicator on 6" arm), I hesitate to touch the tilt.
I've got stuff to set up for vertical 90, but the in-betweens are lacking.
Perhaps I should just get a good sine vise.

Smart ideas, making this tool as versatile as possible is a good method for efficiency.

.....Perhaps I should just get a good sine vise.
That would be nice but a sine vise for me would be far more expensive than the drill press I have. It would be like putting a $1 million house on a $20K lot! LOL.
Think I'd get a new better press first.
I like the sanding setup
Probably a dream for me, but they do come up in shop auctions on occasion and for $50 might get one that has not been near any students. (blew my chance about 20 years ago)

Boy! I'll tell you it's really convenient. Really a joy doing curves and shapes.
The Nova come with a tilting table so hopefully when th time comes to use it I will be able to get repeatable results. The propaganda claims it is very capable of setting and holding an angle.
I must confess I don't know what a sine vise is. I'll have to look that up and find a project that needs one.
That steady bearing idea is quite clever as well.

Earl ..... here's a description of a sine vise .
The bearing is from Lee Valley and is an accessory for their large sanding drum.

Nice accessories for your drill press, Rick. I have a 10" sine plate for mine and I also have a quill stop in the casting so I can stop the quill at any height............Cheers, Jim

Nice add-ons!

Thanks Jim. My cheapo press didn't have that but I wish it did. However it's cast iron, solid, and always been reliable. If it ever dies I'll upgrade with those features.
Cheers!

Thanks Ryan.
I like the sanding setup too. It’s a nice way to get a second tool without needing the space for it.
Thanks Ron! I use this table accessory often and it's a joy to use.
