I purchased the drill press table a few years ago and it is still holding up quite well. I recently purchased the dust port. Other than having the same problem another user had with the vac hose not quite fitting (I ended up resorting to the old duct tape connector) it worked great. I use my drill press mainly for drilling for euro hinges and the boring attachment I have for my press has a dust shield/finger protector on the front which as a secondary benefit acts to increase the suction of the vac. I had hardly any shavings or dust escape when I was drilling the cabinet doors. What a time saver! Highly recommended!!

The quality and workmanship of the full sized table and dustport are excellent!
I also was impressed by the quick delivery and how simple the assembley was.
Plus, it is way more accurate than anything "I" could have built myself.
All in all, I am extremely pleased and as soon as I get a bandsaw, I'll be buying a Rockler table for it as well.
Great job Rockler!

I purchased the Drill Press Accessory Package consisting of the table clamps and stop block. I was dissapointed that these showed up with nothing assembled or instructions on which clamp went with which block and t-bolt assembly. Took some trial & error to set up. Also, the stop block for the drill press fence did not fit into the groove and I had to shave this slightly to get it to slide right.

The quality of the drill press accessory kit is great. The dust port really helps reduces the amount I have to cleanup. I've used the fence in the normal setup and also reverse setup.

This review is only for the dust port, product number
23195. I bought this for my home built drill press table and fence. This dust port fit great. Had to drill
my own holes to match mine in the fence. I don't know how I went this long without it.

I purchased the drill press dust port along with some t-track and a collection of knobs and locking handles. All the material was of excellent quality but I do have a problem with the dust port connection size. On other 2 1/4" dust ports that I own the vacuum hose easily plugs into the port for a snug fit. This makes it easy to move my shop vac from machine to machine. Unfortunately the drill press dust port is sized slightly too small to accept my vacuum hose. I am using a Ridgid shop vac and the actual connector end has an O.D. of just over 2.265. Maybe the problem is more my hose end size though. I found that with a 2" rubber saddle connector from any plumbing supply or home store, I can lock onto the dust connector and have an adjustable (via cable clamp) plug in fit to the shop vac. This makes the port a win win. Hope this can help others.
I should comment that I am very pleased with all my Rockler purchases.

The Drill Press Dust Port(item 23195) will NOT bolt directly on to the fence of the Mini Drill Press Table(item 24616).
Editor's note:
24616 Mini-Drill Press table is designed for use without a dust port.
The 23195 dust port is designed only for use with the 22810 table.

I found the Table to only fair because the hold down from under the table pulls out of the MDF when you tighten the clamps. I had to drill some holes from the top and counter sink them with bolts thru the drill press table to keep it tight. Also the oak blocks do not fit the T-track and the bolts are to short. I had others I had gotten from Rockler, so I used them.
All and all I think the table is good, but needs to be of better material for long use. When this one wears out, I will make my own.

I concur with previous reviews, the t-bolts are a quarter inch too short. The MDF composition will be a longevity problem down the road but for now, having the table makes drilling so much easier and safer. Thanks to the designer but could you use solid wood on the next version.

I’m making my own drill press table and wanted to add dust collection so I bought the dust port. I have a 16” Delta drill press, which means that there is 8” between the main column and the center of the chuck. The problem with this dust port is that it attaches horizontally behind the fence and once installed and attached to the fence, it takes up 4” of space. This means that I would be now limited to a 4” drilling capacity while using my fence, clearly not why I bought a drill press with an 8” capacity. To be fair, the dust port itself seems to be well made.

The 4 Piece Accessory Kit is a good idea, I like the dust port and the idea of the hold down/stop blocks but I have a few criticisms and one issue. The stop blocks were made from red oak, cut with a groove to fit the T-Tracks and routed track in the Drill Press Table's Fence. The issue is that the included T-Track bolts (which are used to hold down the blocks on the T-Tracks are too short, they need to be 1/2-3/4" taller, to have enough play to get the bolt into the T-track the threads just barely protrude above the oak block so you get almost no "bite" in the threaded knob.
Criticisms: Getting the stop block to release is also a bit of a pain due to the holes bing too small for the bolts to insert (without actually screwing them in. One must use a round file to remove material to allow the bolt easy insertion. The afore mentioned groove was also too fat and had to be sanded to allow movement in the routed fence slot. All in all, I'd rather it be a bit too big (so I can fix it, as I did) than too small, so if you don't mind a few minutes of filing and test fitting this rates only an annoyance not an issue with the product. There also no instructions for use of the accessory kit (it is pretty straightforward but instructions are always nice in case there is a caveat or best practice for where to mount the hold downs on the stop blocks).
So far I like the Drill Press Table, and would buy it again. Just obtain longer T Track bolts if you order the accessory kit. You will need 3.
