Hung my 60 lb drill press from a garage ceiling beam with harbor freight pulleys
Last month I got tired of my drill press taking up floor space so I rigged it to an overhead 2x6 using a $12 pulley kit and some rope. Expected it to sag or crack the wood but after a week it's still solid as a rock. Now I just crank it up when I need the bench clear. Has anyone else tried ceiling mounting heavy tools like this or am I asking for trouble down the line?
