I can now raise and low the Old Craftsman DP table.
I have an older Craftsman drill press, got it around 1972 and it has served me very well.
But there is no crank to raise or lower the table and its can be a real bear to pull it up at times. It is even worse now with the added table and fence.
So after trying different things that were suggested here and form others I just use a jack, it works really nice.
I know that a 3000 lb cap. jack is a little over kill but it works. I got the jack at HF for $50 and it is worth every penny of it. I had to do nothing to the DP or the jack, it just fits under the table just like it was made for it.
