Default Drill Press Table Lift

I had an earlier post suggesting a counterweight and pully that got me
thinking. These pictures give it some life. This looks do-able.

Thanks to both of you

how about a cable over a pulley and a counterweight?


That's what I used on my old Craftsman. I had an iron plate that was just
the right weight, so I used that -- here are a couple of photos:
