Decided to drill my table out into a low budget, low accuracy fixture table. Mainly to make clamping work down easier. My table is 5/8 plate and setup to take 99 5/8” holes at a spacing of 3”. 

Makes me wish I had a mag drill. But you gotta use what you got I guess.

starting to drill 5/8 holes 

Now to make the dogs, hold downs, and clamps.

Do not forget a HEAVY base to hold that thing.

Yup. Lots of accessories! 
 

its a pre existing table Im modifying. Weighs about 400 pounds as is. I’d like it to be heavier but I made use of what I had available.  

Be real careful drilling that out---keep the bit SHARP.  Right before the Holidays is *NOT* the time to have it catch and do yourself an injury!

I will be! It’s a good quality bit that I’ll be sure to keep very sharp. The drill is 670 watts so it’s no joke. Luckily it’s pretty slow and has good handles. I’ll definitely be careful. 
 

I’m drilling with 5/32” than 1/4”. Than the 5/8” drill. Seems to be a good order to prevent the drill from catching. 

Just remember: power tools spend all their time plotting to do you harm!  I've seen folks require surgery after big hand drills worked them over!

That’s true! I’ll be very careful 

That's enough power to wind you up, break both your arms and throw you on the floor, tied up in the cord.

Yup, spinning around at 7200 rpm is a real rush.

The drill is only 900 rpm so not quite as fun but will be a rush haha 

Nah, having been thrown to the floor by a 1930s 1/2" drill I can opine based on experience that being spun at 900rpm is MUCH more fun than over 1k, rpm. 7k would treat you like a banana in a blender.

Yup; once you have been "torque wrenched"; you generally try to avoid it in the future!
