Drill press fence

That looks great!

How does the fence attach to the T slot in the table? Did you through drill the fence, or is there something behind it?

Are there any interference issues with the DP handles? My Grizzly DP table fence interferes with my handles at certain positions…

You have given me something to think about as I ponder redoing my DP table…

Jamie,
Looks really solid and handsome. I’m planning one of similar size for my old Delta. A DP is valuable tool, a nice table like this makes it even more versaitle.
I love the table surface, looks precisely flat and buffed smooth.
Great job.

Quick story: Photo 2 shows the T-track a nudge beyond the rounded oak edge. Unfinished, those aluminum track edges are sharp. Years ago at another place the fleshy part of my palm came down on such an edge. Not serious, but one would be amazed at the amount of gushing blood.

Best,
Peter

If I raise it all the way up the handles hit the fence, but there is enough spindle travel so its not an issue.
I drilled through the fence and used 1/4”x 4” bolts to mount it.

Thanks for the tip on the t-track hazard Peter, I’ll have to go fix that.
