Using the Base as a Work Table
If the size of the work piece is too large to be accommodated using the
work table, it can be swung away from the chuck so that the base can be
used to support the work piece
(Fig. 8.2)
. To do this, unscrew the table
support locking handle and rotate the table around the column of the
machine. It may be necessary to loosen the blind set screw on the column
collar slightly to allow the rack to move freely around the column with the
table
(Fig. 8.3)
