Adjusting The Stop Collars
Step #8
Step #9 The stop collars, located on the Stop Rod at the left
rear of the Table, are used to either create a station-
ary table mode of operation or a traversing mode.
For traversing table operations:
Install the shorter Set Screws included with the
machine into the Stop Collars. Make sure all the
Stop Collars are installed with the shorter Set Screws
keeping them loose enough to allow the Stop Collars
to slide into the desired positions.
Set the Stop Collars using the method explained on
page 11.
When the Collars are positioned as desired, tighten
down the short Set Screws locking them in place
using the provided Hex Wrench (HEX-332).
For stationary table operations:
Align the table so that zero (0) on the Back Gauge is
aligned with the center drill bit.
Install two longer Set Screws included with the
machine into the adjacent Stop Collars.
Tighten, with the provided Hex Wrench (HEX-332),
the longer Set Screws into the Stop Collars so that a
Set Screw rests against each side of the Pedestal
preventing movement of the Table.

Adjusting The Distance Between The Heads
To adjust the outside spindles to a desired
spacing, loosen the Hand Wheel Lock Knob.
Turn the Hand Wheel to move the spindle
farther away from the center or to move the
spindle closer to the center. Please note that
the direction you turn the Hand Wheel depends
on the side of the machine. Use the Back
Gauge Scale as a guide. When the spindle is
at its desired location tighten the Hand Wheel
Lock Knob by turning clockwise. Repeat with
the second outside spindle.
Note: The center spindle is stationary.
Note: Your machine comes set up in stationary mode.
Note: When drilling fewer than three holes simply remove
undesired drill bits.
