Operation
(continued)
Drilling an unmeasured blind hole (not all the way through
the workpiece) to a given depth can be done two ways:
using the depth scale method or workpiece method.
Depth scale method (Fig. 26)
1. Make sure the 0 (" or mm) mark on the depth gauge rests
at the top edge of the metal support (3) 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 lower depth knob (2) until it is aligned with the
desired depth mark (4) (for example, 1") on the gauge scale.
5. Rotate the upper depth lock knob (1) until it meets the
lower depth knob (2). The chuck will be stopped at the
distance selected on the depth scale.
Workpiece method (Fig. 26 and 27)
1. Mark the desired depth (5) of the drill hole on the side of the
workpiece.
2. With the drill press in the OFF position, bring the drill bit
(6) down until the tip is even with the mark.
3. Holding the feed handles at this position, rotate the lower
depth knob (2) until it meets the metal support.
4. Rotate the upper (1) depth scale lock knob until it meets
the lower knob (2). The chuck and the drill bit will now be
stopped at the distance selected on the depth scale.
