Depth Stop
Your drill press comes with a depth stop adjustment for use when drilling.
This is a combination of a cast angle bracket & cover, which fits in a housing machined in
the drillhead, (it mounts the bearing pocket for the end of the splined feed shaft and the
return spring), the ‘angle arm’ of the bracket protudes out from the drillhead parallel with
the base. There is a clearance hole bored through this arm. There is a round plate casting
with a triangular extrusion clamped around the outer sleeve of the quill. Within the apex of
this triangle a threaded hole mounts the depth stop control rod, which also feeds up
through the clearance hole in the angle arm bracket. This rod is originally threaded, which
allows it to be screwed through the hole in the plate and secured in position with a lock nut.
The greater part of the rod over the top of the mounting plate has been milled flat (less than
radius depth) to enable a scale decal to be fitted. A nut is fitted over to the depth stop rod
below the angle arm bracket (to control the ‘lift’ of the quill) and a nut and a lock nut fitted
above the angle arm bracket to limit the ‘plunge’. The graduated scale can be read over the
top of the angle arm bracket and will allow the depth of the drill plunge to be measured, or
set. Which as shown in
