Description

This bracket holds an 1/8 sheet baking tray
available
at
Walmart
for .  Read ALL below.
Installs without tools or taking your drill press
apart
.  Your tray may be
re-positioned
easily along any straight section of the lip.
What you get is the gray plastic bracket and heavy duty black steel hardware to secure it to a 2.25" drill press column.  Some USA Made drill presses have an 2.25" column.
MEASURE your column BEFORE BUYING.  I offer other sizes in other listings.
Measuring instructions below.
A handy place to leave drill bits, center bit, chuck key, micrometer,
deburring
tool and general drill press related items.  Organize your drill press area and eliminate the temptation to leave parts and do-dads on the table.  Great place to leave your eye protection as well.
Way nicer and more rugged than the common bendy pizza tray type.

6.  A photo of what you are buying.  You must provide your own 1/8 sheet tray from Walmart (
approximately
)
This tray bracket is made by additive manufacturing.  It includes hardware as shown to clamp to your column. The hardware is made in the USA.  The bracket is made and was engineered by me.  The 1/8 sheet tray you get from the kitchen area of Walmart.  The tray is not included.   It will also hold the 1/4 sheet tray.  If you use a 1/4 sheet tray (looks way too big), keep heavy items close to the drill press column.
YouTube's "CRAFTED" Channel support item.  You can find my channel by searching "Crafted Atlas Lathe" which will bring up many of my videos.
Nothing in the photo's except the gray plastic tray holding bracket and hardware are included.  All other items in photo's such as the drill press, metal tray, tray contents and background items are there to illustrate how the bracket is used and not included.
HOW TO MEASURE
If you don't have a digital caliper, you can put a fabric tape measure around the column.  An 2.250" (2 & 1/4") column will be approximately 7 1/16" (
179.5mm
) when measured around the outside. Alternately, you can wrap a paper ribbon around it, draw a line across at the overlap. Measure the length between the lines.
See my store for other sizes.  I also make a version for the 2.750" variety which fits a great many American Made drill presses and 80mm for many imports.
Before Buying!   Measure your drill press post (column) to be certain you are ordering the right one.  Do not contact me and ask if it will fit your drill press unless you are including an airline ticket for me to come measure it for you.  ;-)
If your drill press is another size that you don't see listed in my store, please let me know what it is. I will be happy to produce these for any relatively common post size and make them available for everyone.
