arbor from the drill press. Carefully clean both tapers of
the arbor and the taper holes of the chuck and press.
As you reassemble check if there is wobble on the
arbor alone. If there was no wobble with the arbor alone
but there was with the chuck, then you need to
exchange the chuck. If there was a wobble without the
chuck it is either the arbor or the drill press shaft itself.
Drilling Depth (Fig. 5)
The drilling depth can be set sharply using the depth
scale. Lower the drill bit using the drill lever arms until
the tip of the bit presses lightly against the surface of
the material to be worked. Set the drilling depth by
turning the adjustment depth. Be sure to consider the
length of the bit tip as well as the length of the
cylindrical part of the hole to be drilled.
To avoid heat build up when drilling deep holes, reduce
the friction by occasionally lifting the spinning bit free of
the work-piece to allow chip removal, then re inserting it
to cut deeper.
Offset Drilling (Fig. 6)
The table can be tilted for offset drilling or in the case of
slanted drilling surfaces. To do this, loosen the
hexagonal bolt on the hinge connecting the table to the
support column using a fork wrench. Tilt the table into
the desired position and retighten the hexagonal bolt.
WARNING! A kickback occurs when work-piece
suddenly binds on the cutting edge of the tool and the
work-piece is thrown by the cutter in the direction of the
cutter's rotation. This can cause serious injury. It is
important the work-piece is securely clamped or held
down before drilling.
Chuck Guard
It provides protection from quill to drill point allowing a
smooth telescopic action as the drill penetrates the
work-piece.
Accessories:
CAUTION! The use of any non-recommended
accessory such as dado sets, molding cutters or abrasive
wheels may be hazardous. Make sure you have attached
the accessory properly and it is run within the specs of both
the press and attachment.
• Do not install or use any drill bit that exceeds 7" in length
or extends 6" below the chuck jaws. They could
suddenly bend outward or break.
• DIRECTION OF FEED FOR DRUM SANDING. Feed
work-piece into a sanding drum, or other approved
accessory, against the direction of rotation.
• Sanding drums are a very useful accessory, but the arbor
of a drill press is not designed for sideways pressure.
Don't push too hard when sanding, this could transfer a
great deal of stress to the shaft.
• Drum sanders must be operated at a speed under
1000rpm.
• For hole cutters keep speed below 800rpm.
TERMS:
THROAT DEPTH: Distance between the center of the
spindle (where the bit goes) and front edge of the column.
SPINDLE TRAVEL: Movement up and down of the spindle,
which determines the maximum depth of the hole one can
bore.
MAINTENANCE
(PERFORM ALL MAINTENANCE WITH DRILL PRESS
UNPLUGGED.)
Clean after use T-slots, grooves, and dirt from belts and
pulleys. Remove chips to avoid damage to moving parts.
Wipe all spindles and sleeves free of grit to avoid damaging
the precision fit.
If operated under extremely dusty conditions, operate at the
slowest speeds to avoid rapid abrasive wear on the moving
parts and lubricate the machines more often. Under extreme
cold conditions, start at a slow speed and allow the parts
and lubricants to warm up before increasing the speeds.
To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
maintenance and adjustment (including brush inspection
and replacement) should be performed by authorized
service centers or other qualified service organizations,
always using identical replacement parts.
