SUPPORTING WORKPIECE
USE only recommended accessories.
Figure 17-1
Lower quill (A) to desired depth and tighten quill locking
handle (B). The quill locking handle is spring loaded
and can be repositioned by pulling out on the hub (C)
and rotating it. See Figure 18-1.
To unlock the quill, hold onto the feed handle and
loosen the quill locking handle. The quill is spring
loaded and will return back up into the drill press head
casting. Be sure to hold onto the feed handle to control
the speed at which the quill returns.
A
iMPORTANT: When the workpiece (A) is long enough,
position it on the table with one end against the left
side of the column (B) to prevent the workpiece from
rotating. See Figure 17-1. If it is not possible to
support the workpiece against the column, clamp the
workpiece to the table. A vise can be used to secure a
small workpiece that is too small to be clamped to the
table. The vise must be secured to the table to keep it
from rotating. If you are using a backup board, it must
also be properly supported or clamped.
QUILL LOCK
The quill allows the up and down movement of the
chuck. Different setup or working operation may
require the quill to be lowered and locked into position.

Lower the quill (A) as far as it will go and lock in
place using the Quill Lock Handle (B).
Rotate the Chuck (C) by hand until the notch in the
spindle (D) is aligned with notch in the Quill.
Insert the Spindle adapter Removal Tool (E) into the
slot as far as it will go.
Place your left hand beneath the Chuck and pre-
pare to catch it when it falls.
With your right hand, using a hammer, hit the back
end of the Spindle Adapter Removal Tool. This will
wedge the Spindle Adapter Removal Tool into the
Quill, forcing the arbor to come out of the Drill
Press.
NOTE: Take care not to drop the Chuck as this could
damage it.
