Spindle Adjustments
Your new drill press comes fitted with a depth
stop for use when drilling. Follow the instruc-
tions below for use.
1. Loosen the depth collar lock knob. Figure
24.
2. Rotate the depth collar to the desired depth
indicated by the scale on the collar. Secure
the collar with the lock knob.
3. Test the depth stop by measuring how far
the spindle actually moves when the han-
dles are rotated. Figure 25. Make adjust-
ment using step 1 and step 2 if needed.
The depth stop for drilling must be adjusted
before using the oscillating feature. If the
depth stop is left adjusted for a shallow hole,
damage will occur to the oscillating mecha-
nism. Loosen the depth collar lock knob and
rotate the collar until the scale indicates 3".
Tighten the lock knob.

The speed chart above is included to help illustrate belt changes necessary to produce a desired speed.
Select the proper speed for the job at hand and find it on the speed chart above. Move the belts to the
indicated location on the chart. The belt setting in the example above shows the belt in the #1 spindle
pulley position and the belt is in the #7 motor pulley location. This will produce a speed of 1,870 RPM.
