DEPTH SCALE METHOD (FIG. 21B)
1. Make sure the 0 (in or mm) mark on the depth gauge rests at the
top edge of the metal support (Fig. 21B - 4) when the quill is fully
retracted.
2. Put the workpiece on the table and raise the table until the tip of the
drill bit just touches the top of the workpiece. Lock the table in place.
3. Determine the drill depth for this workpiece.
4. Rotate the depth knob (Fig. 21B - 2) until it is aligned with the
desired depth mark (Fig. 21B - 3) (for example, 1") on the gauge scale.
5. The chuck will be stopped at the distance selected on the depth
scale.

DRILLING SPEEDS
There are a few important factors to keep in mind when determining the best drilling speed:
• Material type
• Hole size
• Drill bit or cutter type
• Quality desired
Smaller drill bits require greater speed than larger drill bits. Softer materials require greater speed than
harder materials. See page 22 for recommended speeds for particular materials.
WORKPIECE METHOD (FIG. 21 & 22)
1. Mark the desired depth (Fig. 22 - 5) of the drill hole on the side of
the workpiece.
2. With the drill press in the OFF position, bring the drill bit
(Fig. 22 - 6) down until the tip is even with the mark.
3. Holding the feed handles at this position, rotate the depth knob
(Fig. 21 - 2) until it meets the metal support.
4. The chuck and the drill bit will now be stopped at the distance
selected on the depth scale.
