I built a new table for my bench top drill press. I used the plans found in ShopNotes Issue #94.

Here are a few pics. I uploaded more pics to an album here.

Hope you like it.

Nice looking table, I like the open slots. Not too sure about the down draft dust collector. I would be tempted to build one but am afraid the box height would limit the table clearance.

Bob you could make just the table and the filler pieces for underneath. Put 5/6 inch inserts in the bottom of the table so you can bolt it through the metal base from below.

It would work really nice on a floor model but so far, I haven't had a project that required that kind of clearance.

I may have to drill a few holes in the side of the box because the dust collector was going crazy until I drilled through the insert. I was making an insert for sanding and needed to cut a larger opening so I was using a hole saw. All of the dust disappeared as soon as I cut through the insert...and the ShopVac sighed a big sigh of relief!

Very nice! That looks like a wonderfully flexible worktop.
