A few years ago I replaced a smaller Sears Craftsman drill press with Delta Model DP300L press. The main reason I selected this model was it was the smallest one that would accept a mortising attachment. After getting it I realizing it needed a dedicated table since, at 78 lbs, it was too heavy to lift onto one of the Workmate tables from the floor.
To continue the theme of maximizing space my table design has two storage shelves below. They add about 8 sq ft of storage space to my workshop. They hold most of my drill bits and the mortising attachment pieces. On something this heavy it is important to use large wheels and at least some should be locking. I installed four locking 4" diameter swivel wheels.
The construction is similar to my work bench frame the legs made from doubled two by fours. The leg wood is leftover Douglas fir. The shelves are made from whatever leftover plywood I had on hand and the shelf caps oak cutoff strips. The only items that I needed to purchase were the locking swivel wheels.
