Woodstock 17" Drill Press W1680 - Manual (Page 13)

Head Stock
1. The bottom of the headstock has a pocket
for inserting the column. An assistant will
be needed to position the pocket over the
column, as in Figure 14. Allow the head-
stock to slide down until it stops (approxi-
mately 4").
2. Align the headstock directly over the foot of
the base by using a plumb bob. Lay a mea-
suring tape or ruler across the drill press
base and find its center. Suspend the plumb
line from the center of the headstock label
and lower the bob until it is near the
tape/ruler as in Figure 15. Adjust head-
stock from side to side until the tip is
equidistant from the left and right sides.
The headstock repre-
sents a heavy load. Seek
assistance before begin-
ning this step.
