Magnetic Fence for the Drill-Press
Nov 16, 2006
Rather than build a complicated auxiliary drill-press table with an adjustable fence, a simpler solution is to use a 12-in.-long magnetic tool-holder as a fence. The magnets in the tool holder are powerful and will hold the device where you put it on your drill-press table. If the tool holder by itself is not tall enough, you easily can embed it into a block of wood.
