This flip top cabinet design has the pivot hinges offset four inches
from the table top.This allows the drill press to sit eight inches
lower when it is rotated up.

I'd be interested in seeing a picture of the hinge arrangement.

OK, that I do have.

First picture is the hinge assembly. Steel plates, half inch carriage
bolt with a sleeve of 3/8 pipe over the threads. The smaller plate is
drilled to fit the outside diameter of the 3/8 pipe and forms the
bearing surface. It's quite smooth swinging about 170 pounds of tool and
table.

The second picture is the prototype I made for testing.
