DRILL PRESS TABLE

$29

The tables that come with most drill presses may be suitable for metalworking, but for woodworking, they are inadequate. First, they are usually too small. They only have a few diagonal slots for attaching a fence, making it difficult to adjust the fence. Additionally, the small hole in the center of most drill press tables is not usually large enough to accommodate sanding drums or large drill bits. The solution? Build your own table.
