OPERATION
Fig 18 Installing Drills
1.
Insert drill into chuck jaws approx. 1” (25.4mm) long.
When using a small drill do not insert too far for the
jaws to tough the flutes of the drill. Make sure that the
drill is centred in the chuck before tightening the chuck
with the key.
Fig 19 Workpiece Positioning
1.
Always place a piece of wood (or plywood) on the table
to prevent “splintering” and/or burrs on the underside
of the workpiece as the drill breaks through. Position
the wood so that it is in contact with the left side of the
column
Vice Positioning
1.
For small workpieces that cannot be clamped to the table, use a drill press vice. The vice
must be clamped or bolted to the table.
