The DP20 table provides several methods for material clamping. Including one side-to-side T-
Slot and two front-to-rear T-Slots to use table clamps, fences, jigs, fixtures, or work vises.
Figure 34: T-Slot dimensions
Ten holes in the table accept various types of clamps with either 5/8 inch or 16 mm posts.
Please note that during manufacturing, these holes may get thicker amounts of powder coating
material onto the sides of the hole which could prevent some posts from going into the hole.
The powder coating can be cleaned out easily by wrapping sandpaper around a dowel, to
remove this coating to adjust the fit.
Read and understand the instruction manual before operating the drill press.
