I have an old Craftsman Drill Press ( http://www.owwm.com/photoindex/detail.aspx?id=183
). It a great tool but has one problem, there is no crank to raise
and lower the table, you lossen the clamp and slide it up and down the
shaft. This is cumbersome at best. So, I wanted to see if anybody
had any ideas on what I could rig up to raise and lower it
mechanically. I have a few but I don't want to bias the thought
process.

The Craftsman model number is 103.23141.

Thanks,
Jim
