very simple scketch in the photos section.

this mod can be done by anyone with hand tools.  the key is only to 
line up the shaft.

a flange bearing can be had for about $10.00 an will self align and 
is hardened.  that means that all one has to do is bolt it aligned as 
well as possible under the axis of the drill column.

If one were to make the column collar with an angle as shown, then 
the top plate can be removed for other work.
