Same here. The magnet is at the top of the … pole? The steel shaft that the table rides up and down on. It’s just below the upper motor housing so it’s well away from the drilling area and doesn’t collect ferrous chips. There’s also an allen key stuck to the magnet that I assume is important… probably for some type of maintenance on the drill press that I’ve never done.

Glad to see this comment on the chain. I haven’t tried it myself (yet) but I’ve got a friend that does and says it works great.

It’s on my list. Unfortunately, it’s a really long list.
