For the longest time I was meaning to build a table and fence for my Craftsman 150 drill press. It’s a very good drill press and especially versatile with the slow speed 3rd pulley. However the table is, to say the least, inadequate for woodworking. Well, this or that intervened and I never got around to it. But then I was working on a project that absolutely required a larger table and adjustable fence, so after calculating the cost and time of building one I decided to buy Lee Valley’s (Item 86N8002).
First impression: wow! It fit perfectly (not all manufactured tables are sized for this press), rock-solid, the fence is infinitely adjustable, the tracks are well positioned and the accessories are decent. Bottom line: I couldn’t have built a comparable one for less. Kudos to Lee Valley.
