WOODPECKERS DRILL PRESS TABLE PACKAGE 3:It all starts with the unique Micro-Dot laminate surface bonded to both sides of a stable MDF core. The Micro-Dot surface reduces surface tension between your workpiece and the table, making stock slide effortlessly. The edges of the table are protected with a durable, high-density banding permanently bonded to the MDF core.We embed two sections of our Dual-Purpose T-Track to create the attachment point for the fence. The track is anodized for wear resistance and laser engraved with measurement scales. The tracks bolt to the table from below, eliminating any chance of pull-out.The fence is the same Dual-Purpose T-Track with a bracket that slides in the embedded track. The fence brackets slide smoothly and lock securely...without any tools. Not only does the fence give you a guide for repeat positioning from the edge your stock, it carries the stops which provide accurate repeat position laterally. The 36" long fence is engraved with zero in the middle. Just tweak that into position directly behind the drill bit and you can instantly drill a hole in the center of anything or do mirror image layouts on the fly. Your Drill Press Table includes one tear-out-eliminating filler block. Underneath the filler are leveling screws to adjust the block flush with the surrounding table. When it’s too full of holes to do its job, it's easy to replace with any 1/2" material. If you want to be ready to drop in a replacement whenever you need, we offer them pre-cut.The knuckle clamps adjust to a wide range of stock thickness and shape. They slide into either slot on the embedded tracks or the fence. As you can tell, this all comes together as a versatile system that puts your stock where you want it and makes sure it stays there through the drilling operation.Designed for 12" and larger drill presses.

This product screams quality the second you take it out of the box and that deserves 5 stars. Some may say it's 'pricey' but do the math and to buy everything it would cost the same or more if you made it yourself. The installation for this is for ‘certain’ drill presses, other’s require using a piece of plywood. In both cases this results in the purchaser drilling holes and placing wood screws into the MDF material. Over time this will weaken the material where the screws will not hold especially if you ever take the drill press table off.Below are pictures I took of an install method I used on the Porter Cable drill press sold at Lowes. (hey the drill press only cost me $85 LOL) This is one of those “other” tables that the supplied materials will in no way work to install this. When installed this way on any table, there are no holes drilled or wood screws put in the top making it much better than the instructions by Woodpeckers. Only the existing holes are used. The big positive is that any clamping is super secure, and no wood screws will be pulled out of MDF, because no wood screws are used. It can also be attached with wingnuts so the table can be removed if needed, and reattached in seconds. All you need to do is purchase about $5 more in bolts, wingnuts, screws, and washers. If you have any skill at all this should take no more than 1 hour to to do. The completed table will take over 1000 of pounds of force and nothing will pull out, or pull off. Perfect if you ever use this with a mortising attachment and clamp to this.Purchase 8 countersink screws ¼” in diameter with the exact same tread as the ones that hold down the miter track on the table, just half an inch longer. Purchase 4 carriage bolts 2.5” with wingnuts (or nuts) and washers.1. Cut a piece of ¾ plywood just slightly smaller than the table top2. Drill holes in the plywood in the exact same position as the holes in the table top. The holes along the side after the main hole is drilled, use a chamfer bit for a countersink screw. So they will pull beneath the plywood when the screws are tightened.3. Drill 4 holes in your cast iron top. Yes this is the tricky part but it’s much easier than you think it would be. Make sure they are far enough away from the cast iron table center hole. Make a larger hole than the bolt you use so there can be some adjustment later.4. Place the cast iron table upside down on the bottom of the plywood with the holes drilled in it to match the drill press table. A good way to make sure everything is centered when placing upside down is to place a Forsner bit the same diameter as the middle hole in the cast iron top in the same hole as the center of the plywood.5. Mark the 4 holes you placed in the iron table on the plywood, and drill the holes.6. On the top side of the plywood, use a Forsner bit the same diameter of the carriage bolts drill down about ¼” so the bolt head will be below the surface when tightened. Put the 4 carriage bolts in the plywood.7. Place the drill press table on the plywood, place in the screws through the top to the channels for the fence tracks, everything should line up and tighten.8. Place the drill press table on the cast iron table through the holes you just made, and align everything dead center, then tighten the nuts or wingnuts.
