Drill Press mod
I have a Jet floorstanding drill press. The thing that bugs me is when
I want to simply move the column up and down there is no mechanism to keep the table in the same center relative position to the chuck. (same as most drill presses) I'm considering making a couple of additional collars to hold a piece of 3/4" drill rod parallel with the column mounting holding the drill rod about 6" behind the column, then making a collar for the table that rides up and down the drill rod. Any other suggestions? Thanks, Phil |
