I have tried to get the set screws loose in the base to release the column, but no dice. So I sanded the column by hand with the base on. Wasn't hard to do. Did the blasting and paintings of the base. By the way, the base is a bench type instead of the floor type. Ordered and got the spindle shaft with the chuck attached from Plaza Machinery. Had to soak the chuck to make it turn easier. The wooden table on the press isn't quite finished yet, still working on it. The only thing I'm waiting for is the stop collar, also from Plaza, and that will come in a few days. As for painting the rest of the press, that will come later when I have time.
