woodworking tool? For many woodworkers, either the table saw or router would come to mind first.

And I wouldn't disagree. But right near the top of my list is the drill press. For such a basic-looking tool, it can do so much: like drilling, sanding, and mortising. But to get the most out of a drill press, you need to transform it into a precision woodworking tool. The table and fence system you see at left is the perfect upgrade.

For starters, the table offers plenty of worksurface — it's over two feet wide. That's big enough to support just about any size workpiece you'll run across.

Then, to give you more control and more accurate drilling, we designed a built-in, two-part clamping system. For small pieces, a couple sections of T-track in the top allow you to position a toggle clamp right up close to the bit. For larger pieces that need extra holding power, you can slip a couple of bar clamps through the slots in the top.

The table also includes a couple of not-so-obvious features. A full-extension drawer keeps small tools and accessories within easy reach. And underneath the table you'll find a port for dust collection.
