Drill press taable

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


This something I've been wanting to build for some time. I've got a Porter Cable drill press and the table not the best for woodworking. I watched several YouTube videos and adapted them to my situation. That bolt in the table is in the only hole in it. It's a threaded hole and took a fine thread bolt. No big deal I just took the table with me to Ace Hardware. The only issue was they were trying to figure out how to ring up my drill press table as I went to pay for the bolt and nut. I recessed the nut into the plywood base from the top and it really holds the whole table down quite well.
One of the YouTube videos used a CNC to cut the recess for the circle insert and recess. I use my bandsaw circle cutting jig to make a template then a pattern cutting bit on my router. So far it's working out real well and one more project scratched off my to do list.
