Right heres the plan/idea
I have a floor standing pillar drill,its a rexon RDM-80F
Same as this
https://www.easyliveauction.com/cat...-goods-collectables-tools-and-equipme-lot-31/
Had it quite a while now(10yrs +/-) and its been a good servant,but,i have dead space underneath,to which i could do with using.
See the thing is i cant even remember if i've ever had to drop the table to its lowest point,maybe i did once but even then had to be a one off,so no point it being there
So my idea/plan is to cut the main column to a size where i can mount it on top of say a metal cabinet thus giving me somewhere to store more rubbish etc
You might ask why not sell it and buy a new bench one,well to be honest what this has speed wise and with a morse taper spindle,good motor etc,and tbh whats on offer is either garbage,to much money,3 phase,or i have to travel millions of miles to collect
I think it could be done,my only concern would be the column support at the bottom

I of course need this to be lower as to get max drop for the table,but also to be danm secure
Everything else looking at it seems pretty simple,yes/no
Ok,so,whats your opinions
