Thanks Bill
"Not light" is an understatement ... I got as far as the head assembly before recognizing I'd need some assistance. Before I put the head on the column, may I ask you a couple of questions?
Should the table support & table spin round the column even when the table lock is tightened? And the raise/lower mechanism - should it still crank the table up and down when the table lock is tightened?
Maybe I'm not tightening it hard enough, does it need to be more than "hand tight" to actually lock the table movement?
I hadn't got to the page where it shows you how to install the non-existent stuff yet, thanks for the time-saver!
Thanks Bill -- it has small shoes to fill, the dp I've been using till now was a cheapie I scored at a yard sale a couple of summers ago, think it was $20 including a set of tapered bits with countersink collars. At that price I accepted a lot of shortcomings, hoping this new one has less attitude
"Requires some assembly", and use the instructions in the book, not the quick sheet. And make sure you put the bar with the gear teeth on it so the unthreaded section is at the TOP or the table won't lower all the way and you'll have to disassemble to correct - and that head assembly is not light (DAMHIKT).

Also - don't pull your hair out looking for the 15w candelabra-base bulb. Buried in the book in fine print, is says "Bulb not included".
Hope it serves you well.
