My drill press is about 35 years old, its a good one and has served me very well.
The problem:
It does not have a crank to raise or lower the table. In the past this was not to much of a problem but where I have it setting now and with the addition of a table and fence it is really hard to raise it or lower it.
So I have been trying to come up with something to help with this and am looking for some good ideas on how to handle it.
This is my idea at this time, the top pulley can be clamped to the tower with hose clamps. The lower pulley can be bolted to the table in a hole that is there for a tilting table you could get at one time for it. The weight, I am not sure how much would just have to test it.
Anyone got a better idea??????
