MountingAssembly, Machine Base Workbench

MountingAssembly

The base of this machine has holes that accept 5⁄8" bolts for mounting the machine to a workbench. We strongly recommend that you mount your machine to a workbench to prevent it from moving during operation. An unexpected movement could result in an injury or property damage.

The strongest mounting option is a "Through Mount" where holes are drilled all the way through the workbench, and hex bolts, washers, and hex nuts are used to secure the drill press to the work- bench.

Another option for mounting is a "Direct Mount" where the machine is simply secured to the work- bench with a lag screw and flat washer.
