At $150?   I wouldn't do it.  Just buy a used jig.  You can usually find a used one on Ebay now and then for $300 or so.

i was thinking of using that compound table and using this item

http://www.shop.innovativebowling.com/product.sc?productId=22&categoryId=12

and mounting it to compound table




I spent everyday for 5 weeks trying to find a ball jig on Ebay.If you want to go that route,good luck.

15".One of the reasons I chose a floor model drill press,is to acommadate the height of the mill table,ball and jig.Most of the less expensive table top models of drill presses can't accomplish that.

I looked at both the Delta DP300 and DP350,and
no,they don't havr enough height.
