I have owned this table for over a year now and it never comes off my drill press. It is very functional and easy to use. A great value for the price. I have also made custom inserts for my drum sanders which make it even more useful.

I like this table. I did have to re-drill the table's mounting T-cap nuts to accommodate my Delta DP 350's wider table. The two holes were easily accomplished using a 1 3/8 inch Forstner bit and standard drill bit for it's center hole. The available T-Track Hold Down clamps are a must although somewhat pricey. I would recommend these products.

Just received this table today. Installation was very straight forward. The Hold Downs are a must. One area of concern is the Fence. The T-Slot for the stop block is routed in the MDF which if you are not careful looks like potential damage to the fence can be caused if over tightened. My plan is to route it out and install a Metal T-Slot. Other then that is is a great table!

I would give this table and fence easily 5-stars if you factor in the price and I would buy another one in a heartbeat.
With that in mind I dropped to 4 because the fence stop should have come with an elongated t- bolt. The regular t-bolts will tear through the bare MDF slot. Fortunately mind spun on the first try so removal was easier than it could have been. Not having the proper t-nut I repaired mine by gluing (used GOOP as it is handy and the torque load will be small) a 1/2x1in piece of 8ga (0.128”) steel that I snipped from on old fluorescent light housing. Much thicker than that and the bolt will no longer slide.
I assume MLCS will make it good that the small axial alignment brackets that align the mounting knob and strengthen the mounting hold down were missing. I notified MLCS and fully expect them to send the parts. If not this rating would be reduced since I feel they affect the longevity of the hold down clamps as evidently did the original designer.
Re: the sitting proud t-slots mentioned by Rick Morris a year ago January, I hope that MLCS saw it and offered a replacement. That would have been a deal breaker for me.

Wonderful item, some drill press tables holes must be elongated for base,missing M8 3 9/16 bolt (back plate hold down bolt), bought at hardware store.

Would recomend to any drill press owner.

I ordered one of these for my new Ridgid drill press I recently purchased and it arrived in excellent shape and was easy to mount and put together. I do have 1 major complaint though. The metal T slots on the table were not routed deep enough so they are above the surface and as I slide something around on it to drill it gets hung up on the metal runners. If you slide it on top of the protruding runners you are now drilling a hole off of 90 degrees square. Why they couldn't have routed the channels a bit deeper so the metal T slots were even with the table top, or even a little below, is beyond me. When I get a chance I am going to take them out and re rout to a better depth. Also be aware that the stop block channel has no metal T track so if you over tighten the stop block there is a chance you will break out the MDF. All in all it is worth the price with the free shipping if you want to take the time and make it right.

I bought this table a year or so ago and I still use it today. Unfortunately, I had to mount mine with and intermediate table. BEFORE YOU PURCHASE THIS ITEM, READ the compatibility note and be sure you know your drill press. This unit does not mount directly to many drill presses.

MLCS NOTE: This item is designed to mount directly to as many drill presses as possible. However, it is not universally compatible due to the wide variation in drill press designs. We provide the compatibility note so customers are aware before purchasing of any potential mounting issues based on the specifics of their drill press.

As far as providing a wider, deeper table area for my Delta Floor model drill press it does that well. I find the fence slightly hard to adjust and the height of the fence blocks my laser crosshairs.

The tracks for the hold-downs could be closer in or another one provided to clamp short pieces.

The biggest problem is that there are no replacement inserts available for sale for the thing. They're not hard to make but laminating and cutting little square pieces of MDF just the right thickness is a pain. It would be simple for them to supply a pack of 4 replacement inserts for a modest cost to solve this issue.

Overall I'm pleased with it, but it could be better.

MLCS NOTE: We have just added replacement inserts for these tables to our product line. You can order #9759, a set of 3, for $5.95.
