Made this DP table for my new (used) drill press. I incorporated a few features from different plans. Instead of cutting a dado slot for the t-tracks, I built up the surrounding areas with 3/8 birch plywood. This made it easier to create the center removable insert, which I made 6 extra ones while I had the saw set for the bevel angle.

You did a great job on a very useful accessory. I like the method of laminations as you described. I may have to go that route when I finally get around to making one too.

Looks very nice. I made one a couple months ago. Simple yet works very well. I can’t believe I have done without one for so long.
