HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Table height adjustment on the Model
G1131 Radial Drill Press is controlled by a
rack-and-pinion gearing system. To control
the height of the table:
1. Release the locking lever on the rear of
the table’s gear housing, mounted on
the vertical column.
2. Turn the adjustment crank clockwise or
counterclockwise to achieve a desired
table height.
3. Re-tighten the locking lever to keep the
table from moving out of its desired
position.
SIDE-TO-SIDE ADJUSTMENT
The table can be rotated from side-to-side,
or completely 180° out of the way of spindle
travel, so larger objects can be placed on
the work surface built into the base of the
drill press. To rotate the table:
1. Loosen the locking lever at the back of
the table’s gear housing.
2. Move the table to its desired position.
3. Re-tighten the locking lever.
ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
The table’s angle relative to spindle travel
can be adjusted to 45° left or right. To adjust
the table tilt:
1. Loosen the hex bolt below the table
support.
2. Tilt the table to the desired angle, using
the gauge built into the table support.
3. Once the table is adjusted to the
desired angle, re-tighten the bolt.
