To install the headstock, do these steps:
1. With an assistant, position the pocket
over the column (Figure 16) and allow
the headstock to slide down until the col-
umn fully seats up and into the headstock
(approximately 3
1
⁄2").
Tip: Place a few drops of multi-purpose
grease on the column to help the head-
stock seat more easily.
2. Align the headstock directly over the foot
of the base as viewed from the front of the
drill press and center it using a plumb bob
and ruler (see Figure 17).
3. Tighten the two set screws to secure the
headstock to the column (see Figure 18).
4. Install the belt cover knob with the includ-
ed Phillips head screw (see Figure 16).
GET assistance before
beginning the next step.
The headstock is an awk-
ward and heavy load.
The headstock must be tightened in position
with two set screws, so the headstock is aligned
with the drill press foot for balance and weight
distribution. DO NOT over tighten the set
screws and strip the threads or bend the col-
umn.
