Do you miss the fact that the Woodpecker table has the short fence that wouldn't hold something vertical? The Wood River one is pretty similar for less price. I know Woodpecker is very good quality.

I have the same set up as Brad but I have the 36" DP-Pro Fence on order. It's this one

It's taller than the one we both have.

However, for the price of the fence, I could buy a whole Wen or MLCS table. I'm mainly looking for a good square fence that can handle some type of stop for repeatability.
If it matters, I have one of the Lowes Porter Cable drill presses.
this one has been on my radar and looks to be a good value? I think you could expand on it and make it fit for you?

Too tall of a fence can be a problem with the feed handles hitting the fence. I built mine with the fence all the way across the table and they interfear on some setups.

You can make your own table.
This is one that I recently made.

"This is one that I recently made."
Where did you get the fence and associated hardware?
