I got a new toy today too - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

No longer will I be concerned with the size of the project I have to drill. I picked up the little toy today.

Kevin, does this mean patterns with more holes? I have a craftsman 15" 12 speed that I have had for several years and would be lost without it now. A press is a very nice addition to your tools. Glad you got it. Steve

Steve,
It means I can use my drill press on patterns up to 34" wide. I've had a regular drill press for years, but this one has a 34" swing (radial press).
I already have the pattern in mind that will be close to that big (probably about 18 X 24).

Kevin, I can't wait to see that beast. Keep us posted. Steve

Who made it Kevin? Is it from the Grizzly Catalog?

Sweet score Jedi!

And an 18x24 project...............that ain't big......

Bill,
It's a Rikon. I bought it at my local woodcraft.

Funny part of the story. My wife gave me a $50 gift card to woodcraft for my birthday as I told he I wanted a set of "board buddies" for my table saw. We went for lunch near the store so she came with me and decided to wait in the van while I went in to get them. The look on her face was priceless when I came out with the board buddies AND all 150 lbs. of this box. Hehehehe (guess I forgot to mention to her that I was also buying this).

I'm SO jealous!! I missed a chance at a radial drill press and have kicked myself for over a year now for not taking advantage of the opportunity. You're gonna get some good use out of it Kev!!

very nice grab Kevin. having a drill press like that also means stack cutting will be so much easier, I wish I had the room for a standup drill press but alas

You will love it Kevin. I own a drill press and would not live without that gadget.
