I spent hours drilling holes that would later be used to bolt the legs to the frames. To create a large enough hole for the 3/8" bolts it took 3 passes graduating from a small bullet drill, to a mid size twist bit, then up to the final over sized hole, for a little wiggle room. Lowering the drill speed helped eliminate overheating.
For the upper frame I drilled a series of small holes every foot to eventually attach the MDF table top. These went quickly with one pass only.
The drill press clamp is incredible! It bolts to the plate allowing for micro adjustments and stability. It facilitated accurate, consistent holes.
