I have one of those, an old 'Buffalo Forge' table top press made sometime in the 40's, fitted with a 1/2" Jacob's chuck. I found that the table would slide down under hard pressure no matter how tight the clamp was. So I cut several 4x4's to place under the table so it couldn't slide down.
It also doubles as a press. I don't trust it to drill perfectly perpendicular to the table, but for most drilling jobs it is adequate.
