The table that comes with a drill press is obviously not designed for woodworking. It's too small, hard to clamp to, and it doesn't work well with a fence. This woodworker-friendly table design solves the problem.

The large-size table offers plenty of support for long pieces. It's made up of two layers so it's very rigid. The top layer has a removable center piece. When it gets chewed up with use, you can easily slide it out and insert a new one. You can also make inserts to fit varying sizes of drum sanders. The table also has an adjustable fence.
