TABLE ADJUSTMENTS

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.
