Bandsaw Table and Fence

Bandsaw Table and Fence My Grizzly G0555 14" bandsaw came with a decent fence, but the table is just too small. I wanted to make a larger table that I could use without having to remove my existing fence rail. I used ideas from a couple of magazines and some I found on the internet to come up with my design.
The table is 24" x 24" melamine and the fence and rail is made from walnut.
The resaw fence quickly attaches to the main fence.
The featherboard uses countertop laminate to apply good pressure while resawing.
Here is a shot of the fence lockdown and also the two screws used to adjust for blade drift.
This aluminum strip is what the screws move for blade drift adjustments.
The back of the fence also locks down. The hinge makes it easy to remove the fence.
This is the bottom of the table. The strip slides into the miter slot of the existing table and keeps the table aligned when putting it back on.
I slide the table on until the new rail hits the old rail. I was surprised how well just one toggle clamp secures the table. So far that has been enough, but if I need to, I'll add another to the other side.
