Piece Clamping
Tangential cutting forces and axial forces in the feed direction of the tool are mainly produced
during the milling/drilling process. The tangential forces produce a moment of forces which
make the piece being machined want to turn. Therefore, the pieces to be machined (or tapped)
must be clamped in an appropriate device such as a machine vise and the vise must be
securely clamped to the machine table.
It is the operator’s responsibility to obtain and use proper vise and mounting hardware to secure
the vise to the work table and the work piece into the vise.
There are two T grooves in the worktable. They are used to secure the work piece.
There are two T grooves in the base, too. It is convenient for securing longer, heavier and larger
working pieces.
Note: Material clamps not included.
Work Table and Vise Adjustment
The drill press has two work table. The base table which is a
fixed position table which does allow for larger size material and
the movable table which has several ways to be positioned and
adjusted. Both tables have T-slots to be used to secure the
material and or vise to clamp and hold the work piece from
moving during the machining process.
The movable work table may be positioned by;
•
Loosen the column clamp to unlock the table arm from the
column.
