Hi All
I came into possession of a waldown drill press 6 months ago, while I am very happy with the drill press, there are a few mods that needed doing.
This is my take on a rise and fall mechanism for the table. 3/32 cable routed over a pulley and through a hole in the aft mounting bolt, then around 2 pulleys and attached to a lump of 2 1/2" x 12" steel inside the column. This mod has worked very well and only requires very light pressure to raise or lower the table.
Other mods include - a collar for the column, to allow swivelling at a fixed height.
- a tray for catching swarf and collecting junk
- a foot operated on / off switch
- and a stand from a scrapped Waldown "Lapper"IMG_1391.jpgIMG_1392.jpgIMG_1393.jpgIMG_1394.jpg drill
