Drill Press table lifter
I have a good drill press. It seems that there are no drill presses made for woodworking, but I will stand correction.
My drill press was free, which a pensioner considers about the right price to pay for anything.
However, this dill press has no table lifting apparartus, and even if I could get one to fit my particular column size, it would cost in the vicinity of $150 to $180. One could purchase a used press for around this price, but why would I want 2 used drill presses?
Thinking, thinking, and a bit of thinking, I think I have come up with a very economic and simple way to bild a table lifter for my existing press.
To give you a clue it consists of a pully system, so simple to attach to any drill press that has no lifting apparatus, that I am amazed at my own genius, and modesty.
I will let you know if it works, as I am confident I do not make mistakes, but have proved a few thousand systems that do not work...Who said that????

Mine consists of a couple of feet of steel wire, one pulley and a few kg of steel.
