Proof of Concept Powered Drill Press Table

[rgsparber]

I'm looking for opinions on whether this is a risky way to implement a powered drill press table. Could this potentially damage my drill press?

If people have well reasoned arguments on why it could hurt my drill press, I will drop this line of development. But if the community feels it is safe, it could be a rather cool way to power my drill press table.

Thanks,

Rick
