FASTENING DRILL PRESS
TO A SUPPORTING SURFACE
PERMANENT MOUNTING
If your drill press is to be used in one permanent
location, the drill press base must be secured to
the supporting surface with fasteners through the
two mounting holes,
(A) Fig. 12A, in the drill press base (B).
MOUNTING YOUR DRILL PRESS TO A PLYWOOD BASE
If you do not fasten your drill press in a permanent manner, the drill press must be fastened to a ply-
wood mounting board to prevent the drill press from tipping over during normal use. Use a good
grade of plywood with a minimum 3/4" thickness. Do not make the mounting board from particle
board since particle board can unexpectedly break.
