Hi All,
After years of trying to drill wood projects on the small cast iron table of my Craftsman drill press I decided to build the table I found here: http://www.popularwoodworking.com/article/Drill_Press_Table/
I had a piece of scrap formica counter top and the rest was scrap maple and a few dollars in hardware.
Unfortunately when I finished the project and set it on my drill press table I found that the table top interferes with the elevation crank. Bummer!

It appears that my only option is to extend the shaft on the elevation crank to where it clears the table on the right side. Any other ideas? Where to by the extension shaft (9/16")?
Have a great (COLD!) day!
