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

26.

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 handles are

rotated.

Figure 27. Make adjustment using

step

1 and step 2 if needed.

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 spindle belt is in the

#1 position and the motor belt is in the #7 location. This will produce a speed of 1,650 RPM.
