the hole. When you feel the depth control stop

the quill, retract the drill bit. Turn the speed

dial to "Slow" and turn off the machine. Let it

come to a stop, then remove the stock.

Drilling Part Way

1.

Same as “Drilling Through” except extend the

quill until the cutting flutes of the drill bit just

touch the stock. Then set and lock the depth

control. See Figure C-26.

2.

Then drill the holes you need. The depth

control will stop the quill when the drill bit

reaches the proper depth in the stock. All the

holes you drill at any one depth control set-

ting will be exactly the same depth.
