- can the hight of this item be shortened so one can place it on a table top?

The short answer is no. as the others stated, it's a heavy machine, and you'd have to do a lot of cutting on the column & rack to make things fit. This is definitely a floor-mounted machine, not designed for benchtop mounting.

No. While it is perhaps possible to shorten the height a bit with great effort and the right tools, you would still need to account for the space required below the working surface for the tilt mechanism an for access to the knobs and pins associated with the trunnion and other hardware. As built the table surface is already at comfortable working height. This is a heavy tool and I used a block and tackle just to stand it upright - you would need something stronger than a "table" to safely support it.

David,I added some pictures to Amazon add for the Delta Drill Press!Happy Day!

This is a pretty beefy drill press. I don't know if I would want it on a table top. Be careful.

Doesn't look like you can. The column on this thing is huge and long, not to mention the head is very heavy. Why get this if you wanted a table top? But if you really wanted it for table top, I'd recommend cutting a circle large enough on the table for the column and push it right up against the drill press.

Look for a bench top model this a floor model. My guess is Delta makes a bench top model. Floor models are not designed to move, but I made a mobile base. Very stable and can put the drill press in a corner out of the way.

Yes. You could cut the tube and rack before assembly. But this is a heavy drill press which would have to be fastened to a very sturdy table. The table would most likely need to be fastened to the floor.

No it can not. I'm not at work this week to measure it but guessing 36" at its tallest. But is adjustable.

Yes, it could be doubled over and sewn at the top to make it shorter. There are magnets attached to the hem at the center connection that one would need.

Yes, it can be made shorter. In fact, we have this light hanging in a bedroom quite close to the ceiling, otherwise people would be always running into it.

hi. the table top is shipped in 3 pieces, but must be put together with hardware. it can not be just put together with only two pieces if looking to make it shorter. as the skirting around the sides are for the full length. one thing that you really want to know, is the highth of this table is "formal" highth and i had to remove 4" from each leg to make it standard highth.. i hope this was of help to you... zack

I doubt it -- the table top is integrated with the legs and isn't meant to be swapped out with other tops.

Guess it could be, but you would have to drill holes through the back of it. It was meant to be on a table top.

No you can not. My table is not 50inches either. You just stand it straight. Put it apart and the legs lock once you create the feet.

No. Unfortunately. It would be great if it was but it is a pretty short table.

Yes, it will be too long, as it is fitted for a six foot table. I am sure that you could pin it an make it work, if you cannot find anything else.

It is very low, but I couldn't imagine it on top of a table. I put a wine book and a wine bottle with Christmas lights on top and it helps with the height.

Sure but the height cannot be adjusted on a table unless you use books or bricks, etc.

Does not extend up but you would put it on a table (kitchen, dining room height) & use it while sitting on a chair while it is on the table.

You are correct about it being a bit high. I'm not aware of an extension. The manufacturer may have one. I haven't felt the need to see if there is one.

I don't think it would be too short at all. It's a really pretty lamp, I like it a lot. I have it at my desk at work.

This table can only be extended by raising both ends while pivoting tabletop until long axis is parallel with the long axis of rectangular base (which provides main support for extended table top). In the year since purchasing, I've used the folded (unpivoted table top) for an informal meal with a friend on two occasions. It was a little awkward because our legs were too close to the base when it was in this position. So, if you plan to use it for two people most of the time, I would not recommend this table. But this table works very well for our family, and it looks great!

There are two versions of this grille...The short legs can be used on the table top, the one with the longer legs cannot.
