MLCS 9765 Drill Press Table

Built well enough. Installed in about 15 minutes to my Jet drill press. The mounting is not quite "universal" so expect some futzing if your drill press is not exactly what they envisioned. Included two extra slot clamps that were not listed in item description. Includes one consumable insert that will be easy to replace with standard stock wood. Fence is easy to remove for drilling larger items. (I added a photo of how I mounted the MLCS to my drill press. I abandoned the clamps that came with it and I screwed it to the drill press platform with 1/4" screws that were countersunk into the MLSC. The bolts are a little long, because, I had them left over from another project.)

I'm pretty happy with this table. It clamps ok to my drill press, though I'm wondering if I should drill some holes to bolt it on. It was easy to install. The quality is good for the money and I like the T-track. In some positions I have to use a shorter piece of wood for the fence because the handles to lower the drill interfere with the fence, this would be true with any table with a fence, so it's not a complaint, just an observation for someone who is new to this. Also, I made my own replaceable inserts, since the ones you buy are ridiculously expensive. The hard part of this was to find the right thickness of MDF. It would also be possible to plane wood to the proper thickness if you have a planer. In general, I'm happy with MLCS. They don't charge a fortune for their products, but I've found them to be of solid quality. Plus they have good customer service.

Love having this table. Makes using my drill press so much easier. Wish it was a little larger, but works fine for most of my applications.

Very nice but I could not use it because it interferes with handle that moves my drill table up and down. Well made. I don't know about accuracy, I have no way to check it and has no relevance.

I bought two of these tables for my drill presses because I have purchased other MLCS products in the past and they have been reasonable quality for the price. For my relatively light use, I decided to be lazy and buy these t-slot tables rather than take the time to make my own. I encountered no issues when mounting both of these tables on my drill presses. Then, I tried to use a hole saw to cut some holes in MDF. As usual, the hole saw was trying to spin the MDF workpiece, so I tried to use a couple of t-slot clamps (one in each track) to hold the piece in place. I lightened the knobs a little by hand then checked to see if the piece was secure. The workpiece was still moving easily, so I looked under the piece to see why it wasn't clamping to the table. I discovered that minimal tightening of the knobs on the clamps had pulled the t-slot tracks right out of the table. Looking closer, I could see that the mounting hardware of the tracks had torn big chunks of the table completely out. I couldn't believe how easily this laminated low-grade MDF had pulled apart, so I thought perhaps I had received an already-damaged unit. I moved the workpiece to the table I had mounted on my other drill press. The table looked like it was undamaged, so I tried to clamp the workpiece down again. After seeing the first table destroyed, I was careful to use minimal force turning the clamp knobs, yet the second table was destroyed exactly like the first one. So, after the t-slot tracks had pulled out of both tables, I had to go back to using spring-loaded hand clamps to hold the workpiece in place while cutting the holes. The convenience of having t-slot track was a prime reason I bought these tables. Unfortunately, as a t-slot table, this one is a major fail. Obviously, we all know some MDF is garbage akin to particle board, but this is the lowest grade MDF I've ever encountered. It just seems to pull apart when any force is applied. I can't recommend this table to anyone who is planning to use the t-slot tracks to hold materials in place. In my opinion, the t-slot feature is only barely adequate to serve as tracks for adjusting the fence position. You would do much better by purchasing some generic t-slot track and plywood to build your own drill press table. In hindsight, I wish I had taken that route since it looks like I will need to do that anyway. Thankfully, the track seems to be of decent quality, so I may just use the t-slot track from these tables to build my own tables, then toss these tables in the trash. I hope this information helps somebody else.

Though they try to design a universal "hope it fits" design, the unit does not fit, out of the box, to a Porter Cable 15" Drill press table. However by quickly drilling two 5/16 holes (took less than 5 minutes) the unit secures very well onto the larger table of the Porter Cable which has no factory holes and you can drill in the existing slots to line up the center hole with the table center. Quickly can be removed.Overall, good value for the price just be ready to modify if needed. very handy on the farm and in the woodshop.

My drill press has a small cast iron table that makes putting this on a little finiky, but It does its job well and the only problem that I have found is that one screw in one of the miter slots came out a little and I was able to take CA glue and reset it.

I have a Delta 11-990 benchtop drill press and this fit perfectly. I found the drill press table well made and easy to assemble and install. I highly recommend this table.
