Will you still be able to raise and lower the table when you modify it like this? A heavy cast table is also helpful in damping vibration and what about keeping the wood one square in all dimensions? Hard to know without seeing the actual arrangement. - Original Message - From: "Lenn

I was just down looking at my drill press. I think that if I remove the cast iron table and make a foundation for the new table my problem will be solved. I think I can take a piece of plywood about 6x12 to place over the hole where the regular table mounts. Then drop two bolts down and through

I am sure it would be fine so long as you have the correct size but have you considered boring a hole through the head of a bolt and inserting a bar like used to tighten pipe clamps so you don't have to find and fiddle with a wrench? - Original Message - From: "Lenny McHugh" To: "han

As long as the threads are the same there won't be any problem. And since you are considering a table, it might work better anyway. - Original Message - From: "Lenny McHugh" To: "handyman-blind" Sent: Saturday, October 17, 2009 9:27 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] drill press modification

On my drill press there are locking screws to keep the table in place. These screws have wooden handles about 3 inches long. I do not have enough strength in my hands to make them tight enough so that the table does not move. I am wondering if there would be any problem if I replaced the screws
