Adjustments
Depth Stop
1. Loosen the handle and move the depth stop
rod (Figure 16) up and temporarily out of the
way.
2. Lower the head until the auger reaches the
desired depth in front of the workpiece. See
Figure 16.
3. Loosen the handle and allow the depth stop
rod to lower until it contacts the casting.
Tighten the handle. The depth stop is now
set at the desired depth of cut.
NOTE: The handle on the depth stop can be
rotated to a more convenient position. Simply
pull out on the handle, rotate it on the pin, and
release, making sure it seats itself properly on
the pin.
X-Axis Table Stops
Loosen the wing screws (Figure 17) and slide
the stops to desired position. Re-tighten wing
screws.
Vise
The vise (Figures 17 and 18) holds the
workpiece against the fence. Push the handle
forward to move the jaw against the workpiece,
then further tighten by rotating the handle
clockwise. The vise has a quick release feature:
Rotate the handle about a half turn
counterclockwise, then pull the handle outward.
The vise can be swiveled for tapered
workpieces. Loosen the upper screw, and the
lower screw below the casting (A and B, Figure
18) with a 6mm hex wrench. Pivot the vise into
position, then re-tighten both screws.
If you do not wish to mar a soft workpiece, you
can mount a board to the face of the vise jaw,
using screws (not provided) through the two
holes in the jaw.
Gib Adjustment
As parts wear through long-term use, or “play”
develops in the gibs, the set screws (shown in
A, Figure 7) need to be tightened. Follow the
instructions under “Table Handwheels” for
adjusting these set screws. NOTE: Gib tightness
should be just enough to allow smooth
movement without binding.
