Use

Figure 35 to select the optimum motor-to-spindle pulley ratio for drilling, cutting, and sanding

operations. The belt setting in the example in

Figure 36 shows the spindle belt in the #1 spindle pulley

position and the motor belt in the

#7 motor pulley location. This will produce a speed of 1,870 RPM.

Refer to the

Drill, Cutter, and Saw RPM Chart on Page 21 for suggested tool RPMs.

Figure 36. Drill Press RPM Chart.

Your new drill press comes fitted with a depth stop

that allows drilling holes at a preset depth.

To adjust the drilling depth, do these steps:

1. UNPLUG THE DRILL PRESS!

2. Rotate the oscillator pulley until the depth

stop reads “0” (see

Figure 37).

3. Loosen the jam nut on the depth stop rod

(see

Figure 38).

4. Turn the stop nut to the desired depth as

indicated by the depth stop scale (see

Figure

38).

5. Tighten the jam nut against the stop nut while

making sure the stop nut stays in position.

6. To make sure the depth has been set correct-

ly, drill a hole into scrap stock before drilling

into any workpiece, and readjust the depth

stop if necessary.

NOTICE

BACK-OFF the depth stop completely and

secure the stop nuts before using the oscillat-

ing feature. If the depth stop is left adjusted

for a shallow hole, or the nuts rattle down to

the stop while in operation, the depth stop

will bottom out and break the oscillator.
