V-BLOCK DRILLING
Diametrical holes are easily drilled on SHOPSMITH by
tilting the table to 45 degrees and setting the rip fence
so that the point of the drill is exactly centered in the “V"
thus created. (Fig. 56) The V-block both holds the work
and positions it for accurate drilling.
MORTISING
The mortise and tenon joint is very widely used in
cabinet and furniture construction. The tenon, which is
an integral projection cut on one of the mating pieces,
is usually formed on the table saw or jointer but the
mortise, the cavity which receives the tenon, must be
formed with mortising bits and chisels (Fig. 57). Actually,
mortising attachments enable you to form square holes
on the drill press, a cut which may be utilized in
operations other than mortise forming. MAGNA
mortising chisel and bit sets are available in sizes from
1/4" to 1/2".
The mortising attachment (Item No. 505623) is easily
attached to the quill collar and is needed to hold and
position the square mortising chisel. The hold down
(Item No. 505624), which locks in the hole at the top of
the rip fence, prevents the work from pulling off the
table when the chisel is retracted.
