drill press table raising mechanism???
 

I have one of those on my craftsman drill press that a guy gave me 20
years ago. Same problem, though; I don't know who made it.
Just last week the pinion gear on the acme shaft came loose though.
I suppose I'll have to toss it out now. Too bad. It sure was nice
while it lasted.

Why toss it if its merely come loose? Drill and repin it.
