Hello Toolmaker51, Thelt, Happy holidays and thanks for being part of the Home made tool community.

Hello Captainleeward, I really like your solution,I have one of those drill presses with the open slot round tables as well, additionally I have one with a larger square table with the T slots milled in, both are floor models. The round one just like yours is a royal pain to try and clamp anything down on. the table in my opinion is too thin to actually use the slotted holes for much. So after I found a vice with built in X & Y movement I mounted it to that table to take care not to potentially break out the slots I used strips of 1/4 by 1 1/2 Flat bar as washers underneath. I use my other drill press for any thing that does not require a vice.
Never try to tell me it can't be done
When I have to paint I use KBS products

Great idea Captain Lee Ward. My drill press table needs the same mod.
Out to the boat store for some 5200 Calk..
Thanks again for the tip.
Now I have 2 Captain Lee projects to do.
The other one is the Kant Twist Clamps.
