Does anyone own one of these? my concern is that there is no way to clamp the drill press to the wood.

Don't own it but just checked the video demo at Timberwolf, I get the impression it is meant to be used as is. I do see a bit of material that can be used for clamping though.

Why don't you give Timberwolf a call?

I'am planing on it and I'am sure it possible, the protool model has clamps specific for it. The thing I don't like about the protools drill guide is that it is set up for metric.

There is an Insert on the bottom of the Drill Station that can be removed for Templates.  Think of it like the Festool Router plates.  By removing the Insert you can built an oversized plate(Wood or Metal) that can be clamped.

thanks I was wondering what that was. Do you own one? what do you think of it?
