I'm talking about the adjustable table on the drill press. Mine will flex a bit if I press hard enough, so it can probably snap off the column if I press hard enough. I'm just waiting for one of those really old floor models to show up for sale, they are extremely solid and would be perfect for this purpose. They are fairly inexpensive, and you can get one for next to nothing if it doesn't work.

Either area can be lubed using a "needle" oiler.
The sear plunger can be freed up or lubed by soaking in some penetrating oil for an hour or 10! |
And where's the sport in that?
