Ok feed up with messing around and decided to take the advice of you guys (think it was the 2nd or 3rd post) and buy a compound table...:clap:

Got this one

Free delivery is a bonus. Bit of work and it it should be ok. T slot tables of the same size where the same price, so at least I will have a decent table. If it works I will have only spent £100 as the drill was free and the other tools are useful for other projects

Extra long tap and suitable bolt also on order. Hoping it will all be here for the weekend.
