Lightbulb Looking for Drill Press Table Ideas

I have a Jet 17" drill press.

I would like to build a table for it, but have not decided on the size or configuration.

Does anyone have any plans they would be willing to share? Or do you have a table that you like and would share some pictures and dimentions?

Thanks in advance

Tim

Here's mine. My drill press is a benchtop, and my space is limited. I opted against melamine and used scrap plywood instead, primarily because there are times when the melamine is just too slick. If I build another one, I may put a track at 90° to the one on this table, so they'll make an L shape.

I've been intending to make one also but it will probably have to be a winter project. I plan to make it very similar to WoodDawg's with the only difference being a round replaceable insert intead of the square. My thinking is that I could crank out the round inserts with a hole saw and that I could turn them slightly to get a new surface and get a bit more use out of them.

Took that pic right after I finished the table. Cleanest it has been since.
