    Oh that's nice. That never even occurred to me. I always just fight with my drill press like a chump.

    Very nice. I like how it's hidden away inside the column, and you can still rotate the table if needed.

    Neat job, reminds me of my long lost Kayfro 6x6 (2 & 1/4" by 2 & 1/4") photographic enlarger's column counter-weight system for easing moving the head up and down. Similar model https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/a...0-a6e500ba5669
