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.

Uh, oh! Now you did it, DadiOH! "Bottle jack" my ass!
OK, so first you dig the pit for the table hydraulics and the
electical trench.
Then you install the 240v circuit to the patio.
Now install the hydraulic transmission lift in the pit and tie it in
to the Enerpac. Dig in and fasten your guide tubes for the adjustable
rectangular table and cement them in. Now install the perimeter
flooring supports.
Now run the ram up and down several times to get the feel of it. While
it's up, install the pit cover flooring. Now install your table on the
fully adjustable saddle.
There you are, a perfectly level, fully adjustable table with 3 legs:
2 guides and a ram. The guides and ram are centered under the table
to provide the maximum legroom.
Range is 5" to 42" for holding limbo sticks or stand-up drinkfests.
Cost is a mere $11,538.47 and can be installed in under a month.
Did I mention that I sell these units? Got my number?
Call now and receive an extra keyfob remote at no extra charge!
Get one for each member of your remote family!

Ooh! A extra keyfob! I want one! Me Me Me! It's sooooooooooooooo
worth the $11,538.47 for the extra keyfob!
The OP could just use a forklift. Drive it up behind the drill press,
and lay a board across. Voila! Instant adjustable table.

Two approaches come to mind.
1) A hydraulic jack and a series of interlocking shoring blocks that
are about 4"-6" tall or whatever the jack stroke is.
A little slow but it will get the job done.
2) An automotive bumper jack (AKA: Suicide jack), the kind that hooked
on the fender.
Basically a screw jack that is maybe 30" long.
#1 would be safer IMHO.

Thanks all.
I did come up with an idea, abeit a slow process. I took a piece of
pipe with a flange on the top that will go under the table. Then I
run a threaded rod inside of it. On the bottom of the threaded rod I
put a washer larger then the OD of the pipe and a nut below it. I
mount the bottom of the threaded rod to a 4x4 to raise it up. By
running the nut up and down the threaded rod I lift the pipe and table
up and down. Now if I could just find a very course thread rod and
nut.

I was reading this thread for an answer to the same problem.
However the above is useless because:
1) Mine has a solid 2.3/4"diameter column
2) That weight looks no where near heavy enough. Especially with the large
compound table and 6" machine vice on top.
Drill press is a very old "Progress" floor stander I picked up on ebay for 56
quid.

The easyriser is useless to me because my drill has a 2-3/4" D /solid/
column and that weight doesn't look heavy enough but your suggestion has
given me an idea. I wonder if something like this:

1. Make a sizeable cam w/lever that you can clamp to column below the table.
2. Bottle jack.

That was probably me and I posted pictures on the binaries woodworking
site too. That worked pretty well until I put a heavy woodworking
table on the drill press then it go hard to handle again. Also the
bungees stretch over time making periodic replacement necessary.
I saw a separate post with pictures of a solution using a simple
trailer tongue jack. The fellow mounted the jack beneath the table on
a block that put the jacing range within the usual adjustment range
for the table. He also kept a second block near by for higher
adjustments. This gets you closer to the ease of a cranking table
adjustment and it won't drop if you let go.

Maybe a primitive jack? Put a sliding collar below the casting, to
take the thrust;
engage the collar with a fork, tines going into a ladder-like rack.
Loosen the
table, and lever it up or down with the fork. Tighten the table to
reposition
the fork to the next rack position...
One can also use a DC gearmotor with a threaded rod; the gearmotor
output, instead of a shaft coupling, is a nut that moves the threaded
rod up and down. It's a tad slow, though.
I am getting really confused with all these voices.

Put a boat winch on the top of the prill-press post and hook the cable
to the table - or better yet put the winch at the bottom, and a pulley
at the top.

The lack of rack and pinion is the problem. Many drill presses used to be
made its way.
Perhaps replacement parts for a similar size in a Delta or other cheap
brand unit to replace the table, with crank and gear rack?
I believe the gear rack is set into a key on the back of the shaft though.

Attach a cable to the table and run it over a pulley attached

Hi, Jim,
Make a collar from, say, 1"x1/8" mild steel stock that fits around the top of the column.
Use a thumbscrew to tighten it so you can swing it round if you need to. Attach a length
of bike chain to the collar. Weld/braze/silver solder a derailleur sprocket to a shaft.
Make up a yoke that attaches to the drill table. Mount the sprocket inside the yoke. Pin
a crank or handwheel to the end of the shaft.
The tidiest way would be with the chain lying flat against the column but you might have
to extend the sprocket shaft a ways in order to clear the table or clamp. Alternatively,
hang the chain with the rivets radial to the column and mount your yoke to the side of
the table clamp. You'll need a guide inside the yoke to hold the chain against the
sprocket, and a smooth outflow so the chain doesn't hang up when you're lowering the
table.
Good luck!

I had a Rockwell that had the same problem. I installed a pulley
back at the motor above the table clamp's back bolt. I used a
piece of wire rope fastened to the bolt on the back of the table
clamp, over the pulley, to a piece of pvc pipe (4" as I recall)
that I filled with melted wheel weights. Play around with
quantity of lead until you find a reasonable counterbalance to the
weight of the table. I had made a large table top with built in
"rip guide" so it took a lot of weight. It worked fairly well,
but when I replaced the dp I made sure I did get a crank up table
set up.

By the way, all your headers are exactly the same barring a few
inconsequential differences.

Obviously, the biggest problem here is your complete inability to
comprehend what top posting is or you're just looking to irritate
people. Either way, all you're really doing it developing a reputation
for trolling.

There was a guy here some years ago that built a contraption with 3
pulleys, some cable, and a bungee cord. I can't remember who it was or
where to find the photo that he supplied. Any way here's a description
(?): Anchor the cable to the table (in back of the post), run it up to
a pulley on the drill press bracket, then down to another pulley on the
base, up to another pulley on the motor bracket, then down to attach the
bungee cord which is attached to the base. Clear? :-)
I have a 103.23171 model and built one of these things. It does not
replace a crank but it helps.
If you have specific questions, email me by removing the mahalo.
mahalo,

Not mine
Phoney headers and text from the crybabies again.

Good idea! I may use that!
I didn't know you hung out on this group! Good to see you over here.
