    Not knowing the design of your drill press I can’t forecast the effect of your idea. However, I see some considerations. You are reversing the thrust of the Z axis. Are the spindle bearings suitable for this change? Normally, I grip the collar around the column to lift the table up. You have created a bending moment that is now putting stress on both the table collar and the column. How will this affect wear of these two parts?
