Setting Depth Stop
The depth stop limits the downward movement of
the cutting tool when drilling or tapping the same
size hole in multiple workpieces. The depth stop
adjustment knob is used to position the depth stop
for holes up to 3
1
⁄2" deep. A pointer attached to the
depth stop is provided in front of the depth scale
to help you set the approximate hole depth, but
the scale depth can only be relied on if the spindle
height is first positioned so the bottom of the drill
of tap is just above the top of the workpiece.
To set the depth stop:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Install tooling into chuck, then make sure
spindle is completely raised up into head-
stock.
3. Place a thin piece of sheet stock or other
material over workpiece. This will be used as
a calibration tool in the next step.
4. Unlock headstock elevation lock levers and
use headstock elevation crank to position
cutting tool until it lightly touches the sheet
stock (or other material) used in the previous
step. Remove cardboard and retighten lock
levers.

3. Use headstock elevation crank shown in
Figure 16 to adjust headstock height.
4. Tighten lock levers to secure setting.
The headstock can be adjusted up and down the
column (Z-axis) and tilted 45° left or right rela-
tive to the table. A scale is provided to indicate
the tilting angle of the headstock. However, this
should be used as a general guide–not relied on
for precision operations. Refer to the section on
"Tramming the Headstock" for additional details
on precisely positioning the head at 0°.
Adjusting Headstock Height
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Loosen both lock levers shown in Figure 16.

5. Adjust the depth stop pointer to the "0" mark
on the scale to calibrate it to the workpiece,
then remove the sheet stock and tighten the
headstock elevation lock levers.
6. Rotate depth stop adjustment knob until the
depth stop pointer reaches the desired drill-
ing depth as indicated by the scale.
Note: The depth scale functions as a general
guide only.
