ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTING THE DEPTH STOP
The Depth Stop is used for boring multiple holes at
the same, identical depth. The threaded rod includes
a scale and a large quick release nut for fast setting of
the depth that the spindle/chuck will travel. FIG. 17.
The chuck’s travel distance/depth is read on the scale
at the bottom of the upper Depth Setting Nuts (#31).
Example: At reading ‘2 inch’, the Depth Setting Nuts
should be set down the scale as shown in FIG. 17.
Setting the a specific depth can be done in 2 ways:
THE DEPTH SCALE METHOD
1. With your workpiece on the table, raise the table
until the surface of the workpiece touches the drill bit
that is in the chuck. Lock the table in position.
2. Adjust the Depth Setting Nuts to the desired depth
on the threaded rod’s scale.
NOTE:
Depth is read at
the BOTTOM of the lower nut. FIG. 18.
3. Drill a test hole to check the depth setting, and
adjust the depth setting as necessary. It is best to
use a scrap piece of wood, that is the exact same
thickness of your workpiece, for test drilling to
ensure the proper results.
NOTE:
See page 17 for
instructions on installing drill bits in chucks.
THE WORKPIECE METHOD
1. Mark a line on the side of a workpiece at the
desired depth needed.
2. Lower the drill bit that is in the chuck along the side
of the workpiece, until it aligns with the drawn line.
FIG. 19.
NOTE:
The machine must be OFF for this procedure.
3. Holding the drill bit at the desired depth, lower the
Depth Setting Nuts until they rest down on the cast
metal Depth Plate that extends out from the head
casting and that the depth scale moves through. The
drilling depth is now set.
4. Drill a test hole to check the depth setting, and
adjust as necessary. It is best to use a scrap piece of
wood that is the exact same thickness of your work-
piece for test drilling, to ensure the proper results.

COMPLETE.
