Post: RE: Woodpeckers DP-Pro Drill Press Table System

The previous three replies are all good advice. You said "set of wires". So there are only two cables in the box, both with a black, white and ground? If so, I assume the two whites are connected toge...

O.K.. First, if the box label says 10d and your tape reads 2" one or both are wrong. 2" nails (6d) are too short for strapping, so let's assume they're 3" (10d) ring shank. 8d ring is what I usually u...
