Has anyone see a source for retrofit table lifts for drill presses? I am
gathering parts to add a larger table, with fence system, to my vintage
Craftsman 17" floor model. The table is kind of heavy now and my addition
is going to make it more difficult to lift and drop. I'm just looking for
the a plain old rack and pinion lift, or similar - nothing fancy.

If no sources, any other ideas?




how about a cable over a pulley and a counterweight?
