  • Drill press table
    Patent number: 6705809
    Abstract: A drill press table includes a drill table having a pivot element on one end of the drill table, and a support member having a bracket with at least one bracket recess. The drill table is mounted to the support member such that the pivot element is rotatably engaged with the bracket. The pivot element includes a pivot element plate with an arcuate slot that received a bolt. A locking mechanism extends through the pivot element plate, and removably secures the pivot element to the support member bracket. Ends of the arcuate slot, in cooperation with the bolt provide positive stops at extreme tiltable positions of the drill table at 90° and 45° from horizontal. The drill press table also includes a detent mechanism, which at least partially engages with the bracket recess, thereby indicating a desired position.
