I finally got to take some photos of my "third hand", as per earlier post. Excuse the mess...the more I clean up the worse it gets.
My 50 yr old Atlas DP. This is before the era of table lifts, so I use a pulley system with white cord (barely visible). Foot pedal connects to a cable that eventually wraps around the quill handle.
Close up of pedal. (The chain is part of the table lift)
Cable comes up through a pulley (bracket attached to the DP) and wraps arount the inside hub of the handle. It works like a charm.
