3. Tighten the rear nut nut until it contacts the
spring housing. Then back the nut out 1/4
turn from the spring housing. Tighten the front
nut against the rear nut to hold the housing in
place.
SETTING THE DRILLING DEPTH
The drill press has a depth stop to control the hole
depth.
Set the depth by either aligning pointer at the desired distance on the
measurement gauge or manually setting the travel distance.
GAUGE DEPTH SETTING
1.
Install the drill bit.
2. Place the workpiece on the work table. Move
the work table upward until the upper surface
is slightly below the bit, without touching it.
3. Push the quick release button and move the
stop nut down the depth screw until the stop
nut's bottom aligns with the desired
measurement.
4. Back the nut up to account for the distance between the drill bit
and the workpiece surface.
•
Exclude the angled cutting lip on a twist drill bit. Measure to
where the angle meets the drill bit side.
MANUAL DEPTH SETTING
Follow the previous steps, except instead of using the measurement
gauge, you'll visually determine the travel distance.
1.
Install the drill bit and move the work table into position.
2. Place the workpiece behind or beside the drill bit.
3. Pull down on the feed handle until the drill bit overlaps the
workpiece to the appropriate depth. Hold the feed handle in place.
4. Set the depth stop.
5. Allow the feed handle to return to the neutral position.
