Well, yeah. I guess you are saying you would make sacrificial inserts for it? This laminated insert looks too nice to mess up, intentionally. Anyhow, when I use my drill press for bit that are larger than the hole, I put a sacrificial sheet of something under it. I find a sheet of Styrofoam is great because it doesn't take much damage from, say, a large forstner bit. Barely leaves a mark and the sheet lasts a long time.

Overall it just appears from the insert and the sheer size of the table that it was designed as a router table from the start.When I use my drill press for bits that are larger than the hole, I find a sheet of Styrofoam is great for a backing, because it doesn't take much damage from, say, a large forstner bit.
