Quick and Easy Drill Press Table

The tables that come with most drill presses might be fine for metalworking. But for woodworking, they just don’t cut it. To start with, they’re usually way too small. The only provision for attaching a fence is a few diagonal slots in the table, which makes adjusting the fence a chore. And even though most drill press tables have a small hole in the center for drill bit clearance, the hole isn’t usually large enough to accommodate sanding drums or really big bits. So what’s the solution? Building your own table.
