Drill press position Power Head lift assist fixture
Some time ago I made a dedicated drill press and stuffed it between two piles of junk. This makes it difficult to raise or lower the Power Head. I have been grabbing whatever was handy placing it under the Quill and using the Quill to raise or lower the head. Today I decided to make a head lift assist fixture. The pictures show raising or lowering the head using the fixture by extending or retracting the quill.

Re: Drill press position Power Head lift assist fixture
Interesting approach!
Raising and lowering the table would also work.
I think your method is easier, but requires the 'steps'.
I assume you rarely(if at all) move the table up/down.
