Drill Press table

I really like my drill press but I realized that the metal table that it came with wasn't adequate. That's why I started searching for a solution for the problem.  After watching many videos on YouTube I came up with a table that I liked. 

I used 2 pieces of ¾ inch Poplar plywood 17 ½ X 24 inches sandwiched together.  On the underside I cut two dados to fit the Kreg mini track in to connect it to the drill press table.  On the top side I cut two more dados for the adjustable fence. Since I had some scrap Red Oak in my shop I used some to edge band  the top to hide the plywood edge. I then made the fence from two pieces of the Poplar 3 x 24 connected together with pocket holes.

I am happy with how it turned out and look forward to using it on many projects.
