thanks guys
casters on a drill press (especially this one) are no problem. The lateral torque is minimal, and the press action is straight down, so its all good. Also I need to be able to move it easily near a door to ventilate when cutting thick steel with dark cutting fluid poison

Is it possible that I see casters with locks in this modshop mod?
Good for you CR... good for you. You are indeed a fortunate man to have such space at your disposal.

Yo dawg I heard you like modding so we modded your modding tools so you can mod while you mod.
Bored? Can't find anything to do? That's how it usually is when I start thinking of stuff like this.
Also,
I think you could hide some ccfl's on the underside of those legs, for some neon-underglow style.
And why move the press, when you can move the air? A couple deltas in a bank and you won't have to worry about fumes. Duststorms, maybe, but that's a risk I'm willing to take for you.

Sweet! Thanks for the info. I've got one with adjustable belts, but no bit stop or adjustable table (well it goes up and down, but not by crank.) Those are important/useful features. I picked it up used for $50, but I think there's maybe a loose spindle or something as it's rattling a bit as it turns.
