WORK TABLE SWING 360

°

The work table can swing through 18O

°

to the

rear of the Pillar Drill in each direction – 36O

°

This will allow larger work pieces to be

accommodated on the base (Fig.23). Simply

unclamp the table (Fig.11) and rotate the table

either clockwise or anti-clockwise to the rear of

the Pillar Drill (Fig.22). 

ADJUSTING THE TABLE WIDTH

Locate and loosen the wing nuts under the table

(Fig.24) and pull the side plates away from the

main table (Fig.25). This will allow support for

larger machine vices and pieces of work (Fig.26)

Once the side plates are in place don’t forget to

re-tighten the wing nuts.

LASER GUIDE

Located under the drilling head stock is a laser

guide which is switched on using the on/off

switch located on the front of the drilling head

stock above the depth stops (Fig.27). It provides

target cross-hairs (Fig.28) which once set on

your first workpiece of a batch will facilitate the

accurate placement of subsequent pieces. 

This Class 2 laser can potentially

cause severe damage to eyes.

Never look directly into the laser

beam or point the laser beam at

people either directly or indirectly through

reflective surfaces.

INTEGRAL DRILL STORAGE TRAY

Conveniently located in the base of the drill is a

handy storage tray for keeping your drill bits

organised and close at hand. (Fig.29).

QUILL SPRING ADJUSTMENT

WARNING: The quill spring is under extreme tension.

The quill spring is located in a chrome housing on the opposite side of the feed shaft boss and returns the

spindle to its uppermost position. Adjustment is normally only required after many hours of use when it

fails to return the spindle to its uppermost position. With the spindle in its uppermost position it can be

ADJUSTING THE TABLE HEIGHT

(Fig.10 & 11) 

To adjust the table height, slacken the clamping lever at the rear of the table

support assembly (Fig. 11). 

Using the winding handle, raise table up or down to desired height (Fig. 10).

When the desired height has been achieved, do not forget to re-secure the

clamping lever. 

TILTING THE TABLE ± 45

°

With a suitable spanner/wrench loosen the securing bolt underneath the table

(Fig.20). On the table support assembly casting there is a graduated 0 - 45

°

scale (Fig.21). Set the table to the required angle and re-tighten the bolt. 

NOTE:

The graduated scale is for guidance only. We recommend the use of an

engineers protractor when setting any angles.

Make sure you locate the tang on the adaptor

with the slot in the drive spindle. To make

doubly sure, place a piece of wood on the table

and wind the manual feed handle to bring the

chuck down onto the wood pressing the chuck

tighter onto the spindle adaptor. 

To remove or replace the chuck, tap the side of

the chuck in a downward motion with a soft

mallet (Fig.35 on page 11).

FITTING THE TELESCOPIC GUARD

Position the clear plastic shield into the red

collar and secure in place with the two small

cross head screws. Place over the chuck and

locate onto the drill head collar (Fig.18). Tighten

the cross-head clamping screw (Fig.19) but

don’t over tighten as this may break the plastic

body. Check that the guard lifts easily and stays

lifted to change drills/cutting tools.
