About JET: A History of Sharing New, Feature-Rich Products
Opened in 1958 after the founder of the company, Leslie P. Sussman, took the first Boeing Jet Airplane trip from Seattle, Washington to Japan, JET began as a small dealer that sold air hoists and trolleys out of a single hardware store in Seattle. Over the years, JET has carried everything from snowmobiles, transmitter radios, and forklifts to nylon stockings, but by the early 1970s, metalworking had become the base of their business line. And by the 1980s, JET had expanded into the realm of woodworking. Today, you'll find that JET offers a wide range of popular woodworking tools that are backed with best-in-class features and excellent service.

Woodpeckers Drill Press Table

Woodpeckers Drill Press Table Review



Woodpeckers Drill Press Table Feature

  • 16" x 23" x 1" surface with MDF core
  • MicroDot laminate to better "grip" the work piece under pressure
  • Two double-wide T-Tracks are embedded and bolted in place from underneath
  • Laser engraved fence face with a center scale (zero in the center)
  • For 13" and larger drill presses
Woodpeckers Drill Press Table features a generous 16" x 23" x 1" surface constructed of a MDF core covered with Formica Micro-Dot laminate - a unique texture which is a grid of small dimples that collect saw dust, allowing the surface to better grip the work piece under pressure. Removable insert minimizes tear-out when drilling through material without the need of a backer board and the insert can easily be replaced with any 1/2" thick material. Two double-wide T-tracks are embedded and bolted in place from underneath to virtually eliminate the possibility of pulling the track out when using optional deluxe hold down clamps (not included). Each T-track is permanently laser engraved with an easy to read, high contrast scale clearly indicating fence position. Once calibrated to your drill press, no further adjustment is needed. The 36" fence uses the same double-wide track as the table to give you more stop and accessory mounting options. The fence comes with a simple L stop, and optional flip stops can be added for increased versatility. Mounting hardware is included.
