“Real Happy. I assume Wood River listened and changed the underside threads to 1/4. Granted I paid a LOT more than some of the comments below ($145 on 4/22/24). I bought M6 screws based on the previous reviews and they did not work. I keep 1/4”, 3/4” length and they worked perfect. Granted I only got 2 holes to work with my round cut pattern. If it becomes unstable with use, I’ll figure something out.”

“I had to install new inserts in my table since the Porter Cable drill press had a solid metal table and I had already drilled holes for a temporary wood table. I agree it seems very strange that the doesnâ€™t come with at least one standard set of bolts and that the inserts are 6mm. I have only used the table a couple of times so far and it is very good quality for the price. The t channels are solid, well mounted and top is smooth and solid.”

“Was no mention as to screw size needed. Made 3 trips to hardware store to find out it was M6 screws needed. For the price, screws should've been provided. Wasted 3 hrs trying to find what I needed..”

“Yeah, sure, I give it 5 stars -- the table is flat, properly CNC machined, the surface coating and edging are tough and attractive, the hardware is well-spec'd and of good quality, the extruded tracks are smoothly finished and nicely anodized, the flip-stops are solid, well-built, easy to slide and set and use, and the metric/inch rule is easy to read and appears to be well-adhered -- BUT -- Why the 6M mounting inserts, instead of 1/4-20, especially when, as another reviewer mentioned, all the other hardware on the thing is standard??? And why no mention of this fact anywhere in the literature? If you're not going to include mounting bolts, at least print up some stickers to inform the eager installer, and thereby save him or her multiple trips to Lowe's, or mucking up the threads by forcing an almost identical 1/4-20. A small nit on an otherwise solid product -- glad to have it, and I hope this detail gets attended to.”

“1. The packaging was as good as Apple computer products come in 2. The sale price $69.99 for this item was outstanding 3. The quality of this table is great.”

“I agree with others comments about mounting, but that is not a big issue. My real problem is that the replaceable table insert is not flush with the table. It appears that they forgot to account for the laminated surface on the table.There is basically about 1/16" gap between the table and the insert. I called technical support and Roger originally told me that the mounting inserts were to be used for leveling screws. When I told him that the instructions did not support that he did not agree. I then had to explain to him that in order to use these threaded inserts as leveling sites, that you would need an M6 headless screw because the inserts are flush with the surface that the replaceable insert seats. He tried to convince me that you could bring a screw up from the bottom but then the table would not sit flat on your drill press table. His final solution was to level the insert with some layers of tape! I know that at a sale price of $70 this isn't the most expensive table, but not having an easy way to have the insert level with the table is just not acceptable. I need to decide if I return that table or design and build my own leveling method. Not a great design!”
