Another way to skin the cat...
If you add a separate piece that clamps onto the column, it can project out an arm that locates the table by moving the table into the contact with the arm.
A bit like a bench dog for your drill press. The fixed reference is the column, so clamp whatever you need to make a permanent reference on that.
I find that even my crank-up drill press allows the table to move around too much horizontally.
I don't have a picture handy, I hope my description is clear enough.
