Need some ideas on modifying an old Drill Press

Oh, that link is just an example, that particular one isn't my drill.

-Jim

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.

The Craftsman model number is 103.23141.

Thanks, Jim

Sorry about my first effort. As you can read I have not a bit of brain between my ears. What I believe changes with each injection of drugs. You need help? I need it more than anyone!

As the group knows (except the troll's twelve sock puppets profess) this was not my post.

Somebody got his itsy bitsy feelings hurt when I disagreed...LOL

Since the troll modifies the headers to match most of mine readers will have to look for content and just ignore attack style garbage from this Usenet terrorist. He frequents many groups and attempts to bring them to a standstill.

Thanks for all your understanding and co-operation. You too Wayne, Taz, hopper, LectronNuisance, daestrom etc..

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.

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

There will be so many sock puppets disappear here this group will tic like a clock when that account gets closed too.

Crybaby.

Thank you. You've aptly answered the question as to whether you're trolling or not. And, you're playing stupid is just as revealing.

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

1. Mount table; place base on lift... :)

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, jo4hn

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.

Attach a cable to the table and run it over a pulley attached under the drill head to a counterweight behind the post. Art

My apologies for the clone attacks here. These look like my headers but are not my posts.

Some can't take disagreement...I guess **SIGH**

My apologies for any mixup in what is what. I have been very very bad for a very long time losing all sense of what is right and wrong. In fact I do think I am quite insane, actually. These look like my headers but are not my posts.

Some can't take me well...I guess **SIGH**

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:

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?

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.
