Proxxon Compound Micro Table for Drill Press

Comments about Proxxon Compound Micro Table for Drill Press:

I read some reveiws where some people complained about plastic parts and questioned its durability. Well the plastic parts are the leadscrew cover, table end caps and crank handles. Behind the plastic table endcaps is a steel plate. The plastic leadscrew cover should be fine, as it gets no stress in normal use. The cranks on the handwheels have a steel bolt inside. The table is a well engineered table capable of very accurate work. It is adjustable to compensate for wear and is capable of tight tollerances. I like the low profile, this table can be used where others will not fit and it takes up very little of the Z axis on a drillpress or mini mill. Its a very nice small table and a bargain. It comes with step clamps that would cost [$] if puchased alone. I can envision multiple uses for this table including mounting on a mill table or cross slide to do angle work. It is not a monster cast iron compound table made to take heavy cuts and abuse from industrial use. It is a precise positioning table that most people would find very handy and like I said its a bargain! Another plus is it can be used on larger drill presses. It is light and easy to mount or store. It does not get much better than this, certainly in this price range!
