Except that the paint is black instead of yellow it appears to be identical to the Chinese x-y tables sold on eBay and outlets like Amazon.  Price for the small ones on Amazon are $32 Prime. https://www.amazon.com/MultifunctionWorktable-Milling-Compound-Drilling-Adjustment/dp/B07DK8JJ16/ref=pd_cp_469_4?pd_rd_w=g36Ng&pf_rd_p=ef4dc990-a9ca-4945-ae0b-f8d549198ed6&pf_rd_r=J89P9P92WCRXFDN566QA&pd_rd_r=3e64a588-801f-4460-b1e8-706bb346b604&pd_rd_wg=ECCJu&pd_rd_i=B07DK8JJ16&psc=1&refRID=J89P9P92WCRXFDN566QA

There are some available directly from Chinese vendors at Aliexpress.  The shipping can be reasonable if you are willing to wait for the mule train to walk across the the bottom of the Pacific.

Years ago, I bought one from MM and fixed it to the base of my EuroTool DRL 300 drill press.  Needed a couple of holes drilled in the base.  Does what it is supposed to do.

These appear to be clones of the original PROXXON table that is part of their MF70 and also sold separately. I don't think PROXXON is too pleased that the Chinese sell these tables at half the price of the original one.

 

Personally, I don't find the turning handles on the handwheels very useful. You have a less positive feel of what the table is doing. Like all such tables, the gib-strips need to be adjusted very carefully to ensure smooth movement. I would also install a zero-ing micrometer drum, if it was mine.
